Creating policies to sustain islanders is the founding reason behind Future Guernsey.

That’s why we have worked with the community to suggest policies like the 'welcome home' package to level the playing field for returning islanders, offering them the same benefits as others coming to work here.  

But what about young people who don’t choose to leave for work or study?They shouldn’t be penalised - in fact, they should be rewarded for contributing their skills and taxes to the island. So, we’re proposing the Additional Earned Allowance (AEA). This policy would allow under 30s to earn up to £100,000 before paying tax. That saving of £20,000 would go into the Guernsey Property Savings Allowance, a financial product allowing first-time buyers to save up to £60,000 towards the purchase of their first property or a rental deposit – tax free.

Our video highlights just a few of the policies which focus on retaining our young people, please do take a look.
