| The head of a business group in Jersey says a proposed goods and services tax should be set at a higher level. The controversial revenue is aimed at correcting a deficit after a zero-rate corporation tax is introduced in 2007. The island's treasury faces an �80m to �100m hole in its budget every year by 2010 after the zero rate is brought in. Andrew Lewis of the Institute of Directors said a 10% tax instead of a proposed 5% would ensure income tax would not have to rise.
