Guernsey Tax Tribunal

 

Are you able to scrutinise and evaluate material to make independent, balanced and fair decisions? The States of Guernsey are looking for new members to join the Guernsey Tax Tribunal.

The Tribunal hears appeals against decisions of the Director of Income Tax under the provisions of the Income Tax (Guernsey) Law, 1975, and sits relatively infrequently, typically two or three time a year. Members are supported by a legal qualified Clerk.

Tribunal members provide valuable knowledge and experience to help ensure tribunal decisions are fair, balanced and well informed. Your role includes doing preparatory work in advance of hearings by reading the papers provided; asking questions of the parties and any expert witnesses during the hearing; and taking an active part in the deliberations and decision-making.

Ideally candidates should have an understanding of tax matters. In addition, Guernsey-based training will be provided to enable you to undertake your duties.

If you have any questions or would like further information including details of the role and duties, or want an application form, contact: Martin Thornton, Clerk to the Guernsey Tax Tribunal (telephone 07911 716100 or email taxtribunal@gov.gg)

Closed: Midnight on Sunday 5th July 2020
