The States have revealed the island has more money coming in than expected. Last year the Government's income was £628 million but it only spent £601 million. It's being put down to a number of reasons, including revenues from personal tax, Stamp Duty and GST. According to figures, islanders who had the lowest wages - the bottom 40% contributed less than 2% of all Personal Tax income. That compares to more than 40% being contributed by the top 2% of earners. Companies the States has shares in, such as Jersey Telecoms, Jersey Water and Jersey Post, brought in £18 million in dividends.

The States Employment Board has issued details of a revised pay deal offered to Jersey nurses and midwives. The proposed offer includes a 1% increase in pay from January 2012, going up to 4% a year later and another 4% in 2014. But if unions agree to it they also agree to developing a new pay structure. The SEB says in making the offer it recognises there's a lack of equality with what nurses and midwives are paid compared to non-medical HSSD staff.
