Annotto Bay Tax Office Closure

Tax Administration Jamaica (TAJ) wishes to advise persons that the Annotto Bay Tax Office will be closed with immediate effect from today Thursday, May 7 – Thursday May 21, 2020. This as the Ministry of Health and Wellness has imposed a fourteen (14) day quarantine on several communities in the parish of St. Mary, to include the town of Annotto Bay. 

The quarantine measure forms part of the Government’s response strategies to the Covid19 pandemic in Jamaica, and the number of confirmed cases in several communities in the parish.

The closure of the Annotto Bay Tax Office means that taxpayers, outside of the quarantined communities, will now have to visit the Port Maria Tax Office or any Tax Office convenient to them to conduct their usual tax transactions.

TAJ is reminding customers that several services may be accessed online at www.jamaicatax.gov.jm, such as paying Property Tax, Motor Vehicle Certificate of Fitness Fees and Traffic Ticket. Additionally, application for Tax Compliance Certificate will only be accepted online.

Tax Administration Jamaica regrets the inconvenience caused by the closure of the Annotto Bay Tax Office as it supports the Government of Jamaica’s continued efforts to slow and contain the spread of COVID-19 and safeguard the safety and health of staff and the general public.

For further information persons may call the Tax Administration Customer Care Centre at 888-Tax-Help (888-829-4357) or visit the website www.jamaicatax.gov.jm.
