Guernsey residents have been urged to fill out their 2022 personal tax returns by the end of February or face fines.

More than 20,000 returns have been received so far but all remaining tax returns must be submitted by 29 February 2024.

If taxpayers miss the deadline, penalties of at least £200 can be given out, plus daily fines until it is submitted.

For businesses, that initial charge goes up to £300, with £50 daily penalties.

The States of Guernsey has warned islanders that there are longer than usual wait times at Revenue Service counters in Edward T Wheadon House.

While extra staff have been brought in to help with the workload, taxpayers are being asked to submit personal returns online.
