Pensioners and the poor may escape spending cuts (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Employment & Social Security Committee wants benefits paid to the elderly, the infirm and the poor to be removed from a draft policy which aims to restrict increases in States expenditure to no more than the rate of inflation each year. It submitted an amendment yesterday which will give the States the option of adopting the spending freeze for other budgets but not applying it to those which fund the old age pension and nursing care costs and the income support scheme, which replaced supple
‘Public would rather pay 22% income tax than GST’ - poll (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Scrapping plans for a goods and services tax and instead increasing the standard rate of income tax from 20% to 22% was the most far-reaching of nearly 30 new amendments submitted yesterday. Adrian Gabriel is proposing a temporary income tax increase for 2027 and 2028 only. A similar proposal put forward by a former Policy & Resources Committee was defeated in the States two years ago.

Haley Camp dismissed claims made by a member of the senior committee that political support was now swinging decisively in favour of its plan to introduce GST and cut income tax and social security contributions. She told the latest Guernsey Press Politics Podcast – out today – that voting was still too close to call ahead of the resumption next week of the States’ landmark tax and spending debate. ‘If I was sitting on P&R, I don’t think I’d feel that confident,’ said Deputy Camp. ‘Looking at th
Unions want progress on 2027 public sector pay talks (opens the original)
Read excerpt
More than 5,000 States employees will see their current pay deals expire at the end of the year. The Policy & Resources Committee initially expected to open negotiations between April and June on new arrangements to apply from January 2027 and then later said they would start in July. Three major unions confirmed that the senior committee was still to commence talks, or even respond to pay claims which in some cases were submitted months ago, and other employee groups are understood to be in the
