Say no to GST in Guernsey

As far as I am aware, there is still a threshold where anyone earning over £100k only gets taxed on income up to £100k. It is time that before imposing any further surcharges on everyone or new taxes, we as an island make sure that our income tax system is fair. Guernsey still has to address the poverty gap. Imposing a GST on poorer individuals and families will only make it more difficult for them to get the basics in life such as fuel and food. Guernsey defends the position on the £100k ceiling by saying that it is to attract "high net worth" individuals to the Island who can help boost the economy by creating jobs, and to do anything different would mean we would become uncompetitive with other similar jurisdictions. I believe that we have a moral duty to revisit this before imposing any further taxes or surcharges on islanders.
