Jersey employers: Payroll ITIS Wizard

Friday 25 Sept 2026

Employee payroll data at your fingertips

Revenue Jersey has launched an Income Tax Instalment Scheme (ITIS) Effective Rate Wizard. The purpose is to provide Jersey employers with the current ITIS effective rate and Social Security contribution liability status which is visible from the Combined Employer Returns system.

This is good news for anyone handling payroll administration.  However, because you may have some questions, we have provided a breakdown below of how the system works and who can use it.

 

What is the ITIS Wizard?

Now in operation, this is a new digital platform from Revenue Jersey providing up-to-date employee information based on the latest data available in the revenue system.  

Three key advantages:

- Less reliance on paper ITIS notices being handed in on time

- Early visibility of any changes for individual employees

- Payroll system integration

Employers 'need to know'

How can I access the Wizard?

The Wizard will be available as a service when you log into the Combined Employer return.

Am I required to use the rates published on the Wizard?

Presently, it is not mandatory that each employer use the data from the system, however, it is the first time that such a tool has been available and offers timesaving benefits. The system is there to back-up your own data.

If a rate differs, the guidance suggests letting the employee know and they should contact Revenue Jersey directly.

What do I do about new employees?

You will need to add them to your payroll system manually and they will appear on the Wizard the following month.

 

Employees 'need to know'

Good news ... you no longer need to hand in a paper ITIS effective rate notice (unless you are a new joiner).

Your ITIS rate and social security contribution status information will be updated automatically from the information held by Revenue Jersey each month.

If you have queries or your circumstances change, you must liaise with Revenue Jersey so they can update your ITIS rate.

New joiners

You will be required to provide your latest effective rate (paper version) and Social Security registration card to your employer when you start.
