Sark tourist tax proposal to be discussed
The minimum personal tax people can currently pay is £525 per person
- Published
A group of politicians in Sark looking at tax reform has come back with suggestions on how more money can be raised.
Suggestions for the reform include a derelict building tax, higher personal taxes, a seasonal worker tax, and document duty.
The potential of a £2 per night levy on people staying in hotels, £1 for staying in a B&B and 50p for people camping has also been discussed.
The committee stated in its report: “This is a tax that is imposed by most governments in Europe and around the world.”
Currently, the minimum personal tax people can pay is £525 per person.
At the Chief Pleas meeting on 17 January, conseillers will decide whether to have a consultation on the new tax plans to get the views of residents.
