Saturday operations for select tax offices
April 16, 2021
Tax Administration Jamaica (TAJ) says it will open select Tax Offices this Saturday April 17 and Saturday April 24, 2021, as it continues in its efforts to bring greater convenience to taxpayers considering the recent amendments to the Disaster Risk Management Orders.
The following Tax Offices will operate between the hours of 9:00 a.m – 1:00 p.m:
St Andrew
Mandeville
St Ann’s Bay
Montego Bay
Savanna-la-Mar
Old Harbour – (open only on April 24)
The Portmore Tax Office will also operate on both Saturdays with adjusted business hours (8:30 a.m-1:30 p.m).
Taxpayers will be able to conduct their usual weekday transactions, including processing motor vehicle documents, paying property taxes and traffic ticket fines, applying for a Taxpayer Registration Number (TRN) and dropping off documents for the renewal of their Driver’s Licence, as the Tax Authority continues to provide greater convenience to access its services.
However, TAJ says audit and compliance activities will not be available during the Saturday operation.
TAJ is also reminding persons that they may opt to avoid a Tax Office visit by conducting several transactions online, to include payment for Driver’s Licence renewal, Fitness Certificate and Property Tax, as well as electronically querying Property Tax liabilities.
"Customers may also avail themselves of a range of online payments options, including making tax payments via the National Commercial Bank, as customers are able to use their online banking platform by adding TAJ as a Payee. Additionally, payments can be made via the Tax Authority’s website www.jamaicatax.gov.jm using a credit card or other banking card with credit card features," a statement said.
Customers seeking further information can call the Tax Administration Customer Care Centre at 888-Tax-Help (888-829-4357) or visit the website www.jamaicatax.gov.jm.
