David Goy

In the States since July 2025

David Goy

David Goy stood on a platform centred on economic independence, tax justice, and long-term resilience for Guernsey. His manifesto emphasised reducing the island's reliance on the UK and EU across trade, energy, and food supply, while ensuring that fiscal burdens fall on those best placed to bear them.

Among his most significant pledges, Goy proposed establishing independent Guernsey trade offices overseas to diversify import sources beyond existing partners, and extending the airport runway to attract cargo flights, new international routes, and logistics companies. On food and energy security, he committed to subsidising vertical farming and aquaculture alongside a strategic food reserve, and to investing in tidal energy given the island's exceptional tidal currents.

On taxation, Goy argued that GST should not be considered until wealthier residents contribute more, and proposed a Fair Share Tax targeting undisclosed income from entities with Guernsey property ties and trust distributions to high-net-worth beneficiaries, while exempting pensions and legitimate inheritances. He also pledged a monthly levy on properties left vacant for more than six months, with revenue directed toward affordable housing. Foreign policy decisions, he argued, should require a full States debate before commitment.

Amendments tabled

Every amendment this deputy has lodged with the States' Greffier, and what became of each. This is a record of what they proposed, not of how they voted, and it does not feed the kept-rate: an amendment the Assembly never reaches never produces a vote on its substance.

    Deputy Goy actively advanced his manifesto promise by incorporating an 'Underutilised Property Levy' into his broader 'Productivity Incentivisation Tax' (PIT) package, tabled as an amendment to the States' tax reform debate in July 2026. However, on 16 July 2026, four of his five amendments — including the under-utilised property levy on vacant homes — were thrown out by the States Assembly without debate by a vote of 18–17 using a procedural rule, and a separate amendment of his (co-sponsored with Deputy Aidan Matthews, seeking to strip GST, the Social Security contribution rise and the Transport Tax out of the Tax Reform proposition entirely, and not part of the PIT package) was debated and heavily defeated 30 votes to seven. No committee investigation, policy letter, or further formal process to develop the levy was mandated by the States.

    Deputy’s response: I lodged the Underutilised Property Levy amendment during the July 2026 Tax Reform debate to raise revenue from those who use scarce Guernsey properties as passive stores of wealth or for speculation. A motion was subsequently brought to exclude it from the debate, and unfortunately that motion succeeded, preventing the amendment from being debated. This is only my first year as a Deputy, with three years remaining in the current term. - Deputy David Goy

(i) the Goods & Services Tax should be applied at a standard rate of 5%, andthat all foodstuffs should be subject to the tax at the standard rate; AND (ii)an Essentials Cost Relief Payment scheme should be implemented as outlined in Section 4, with the fixed payment set provisionally (subject to review as set out below) at £520 a year for a single adult or £860 a year for a couple, reflecting the estimated annual GST incurred by a household on Income Support; and that the responsibility and administering of this payment should be added to the mandate of the Committee for Employment & Social Security; and that the payment should be increased each January in line with Income Support rates, the value of the payment being fully reviewed in line with the minimum income standard whenever that exercise is repeated;

      This motion adopts a 5% GST at a standard rate, which the promise explicitly opposes unless the wealthy first pay their fair share; voting Contre advances the promise.

      Deputy’s response: The substantive debate on GST took place during the July 2026 Tax Reform debate, where I lodged four amendments as alternatives to GST: an Underutilised Property Levy, a Fair Contribution Levy, a Premium Road Levy, and a High-Value Document Duty. Motions claiming they were out of scope were brought forward to prevent them from being debated. The motions succeeded and so none of them were debated. - Deputy David Goy

      Requiring a two-thirds majority for future GST rate increases is a design safeguard within the GST package, touching the promise but not a direct test of whether GST should be introduced at all.

    No evidence was found of Deputy Goy having introduced, proposed, or formally advanced any policy relating to financial incentives for manufacturers, startup incubators, or R&D since taking office on 1 July 2025. His parliamentary activity has focused almost entirely on tax reform alternatives (the 'Productivity Incentivisation Tax' and GST opposition), with his Government Work Plan Amendment 4 (co-sponsored with Rob Curgenven) lost in January 2026. As of July 2026, the Guernsey Press and Bailiwick Express reported his engagement remained confined to taxation debates, with no mention of manufacturing or startup incubator initiatives.

    Since taking office in July 2025, Deputy Goy has lodged no proposition, question, or amendment specifically relating to subsidies for vertical farming, aquaculture, or the establishment of a strategic food reserve. His parliamentary activity has focused primarily on tax reform (his 'Productivity Incentivisation Tax' plan) and AI governance; an amendment he co-lodged to the January 2026 Government Work Plan (P.2025/143 Amdt 4) was lost, and no food-security workstream appears in the agreed 2026–2029 GWP. The food-security promise remains entirely at the manifesto stage with no traceable progress in States records or Guernsey press coverage.

    No recorded vote - delivery verdictIn progresshigh confidence

    Deputy Goy has not delivered the originally named 'Fair Share Tax' as a standalone measure, but has actively advanced its core objectives through a rebranded and expanded proposal called the 'Productivity Incentivisation Tax' (PIT), which includes a 'fair contribution levy' targeting high-net-worth individuals in high-value properties who pay disproportionately low income tax. As of May–June 2026, the Guernsey Press reported he was publicly promoting the PIT package as an alternative to P&R's fiscal package (including GST), and he was seeking public feedback before putting it to the States. On 16 July 2026, the Fair Contribution Levy - one of five amendments he had tabled to the States' Tax Reform debate (P.2026/49) - was discarded without debate, along with three other PIT amendments, by a procedural vote of 18-17; a separate, unrelated amendment of his was debated and defeated 30 votes to seven. No committee investigation or further formal process to develop the levy was mandated by the States.

      Motion put to the States: To insert an additional proposition as follows: “To direct the inclusion within the scope of the further longer term work on the future development of Guernsey’s tax system (envisaged in Appendix 3 of the Tax Review Sub-committee’s report) the development and examination of proposals for a single common tax rate framework, founded upon the principles of strengthening the Bailiwick’s international competitiveness, supporting sustainable economic growth and maintaining a tax system that continues to provide a strong foundation for Guernsey’s long-term economic model.”.

      Directing examination of a single common tax rate framework could encompass elements of a fair share approach to taxing the wealthy, but is too indirect a connection to the specific Fair Share Tax promise.

      Increasing the standard charge for HNWI residents from £40k to £50k moves toward making high-net-worth individuals pay more tax, partially aligned with the Fair Share Tax promise targeting this group.

    “Establish Guernsey Trade Offices overseas independent of UK. Diversify direct imports beyond EU/UK.”

    No recorded vote - delivery verdictNot yet testedhigh confidence

    As of July 2026, no evidence was found of any States proposition, committee policy letter, or Government Work Plan workstream directed at establishing independent Guernsey trade offices overseas or formally diversifying direct imports beyond EU/UK. Deputy Goy publicly advocated for welcoming eastern investment in January 2026 (Guernsey Press, 19 Jan 2026) and his personal website continues to list trade sovereignty as a priority, but these amount to informal advocacy only. The States' 2026–2029 Government Work Plan, agreed in January 2026, identifies five 'super priorities' centred on tax reform, housing, health and harbour infrastructure, with no mention of independent overseas trade offices or import diversification from non-EU/UK sources.

    No recorded vote - delivery verdictNot yet testedhigh confidence

    As of July 2026, Guernsey Airport's runway remained at 1,463 metres with no extension or EMAS installation underway; the previous States had left any runway decision to the States' Trading Supervisory Board tied to the next scheduled resurfacing (estimated 5–10 years away), and no new proposition, policy letter, or committee inquiry specifically linked to Deputy Goy's cargo/logistics agenda was found in the record since he took office in July 2025. Goy's own campaign website continued to list the airport's inability to handle cargo planes as an outstanding problem, and no evidence surfaced of him tabling a requête, amendment, or written question on the runway or logistics-hub issue. New passenger routes were added in 2025–26 (British Airways Heathrow from April 2026, Loganair Norwich), but these are commercially driven and unrelated to Goy's specific cargo/runway/logistics promise.

    No evidence was found of Deputy Goy initiating or advancing any proposal relating to tidal energy investment or increasing Guernsey's strategic energy reserve since taking office in July 2025. His parliamentary activity through July 2026 has been focused almost exclusively on taxation and fiscal alternatives to GST. The States-approved 2023 Electricity Strategy already assessed tidal energy and excluded it from recommended pathways on the grounds it was not yet commercially viable, and no new tidal-specific policy letter or energy reserve proposal has been attributed to Goy in any authoritative Guernsey source.

    No proposition, amendment, committee inquiry, or policy letter by Deputy Goy relating to opting out of US/UK sanctions or requiring States debate on foreign policy decisions was found in parliamentary records or press coverage between July 2025 and July 2026. Guernsey's sanctions framework continued to automatically implement UK sanctions — including new regulations enacted in 2025 — with no challenge from Goy or any other deputy. Goy's recorded parliamentary activity focused entirely on fiscal and tax matters, with no public indication that sanctions or foreign policy governance had been advanced.
