Early Closure of Tax Offices

Tax Administration Jamaica (TAJ) wishes to advise its customers that due to the impact of industrial action within the National Water Commission (NWC), several Tax Offices and business locations have been closed to the public as of 12 noon today.

The closed locations are:

• Annotto Bay
• Linstead
• Savanna-la-mar
• Old Harbour
• St. Ann’s Bay
• Morant Bay
• TAJ business location (6th Floor Office Centre Building)

Persons are reminded that several services are available online via TAJ’s website at www.jamaicatax.gov.jm, instead of having to visit a Tax Office to do so. These include the payment of Property Tax, Motor Vehicle Certificate of Fitness Fee, and Driver’s Licence Renewal fee payment, Traffic Ticket Fines, Business-Related Taxes and Fees.
Additionally, persons may query their Property Tax liability; initiate an application for a Taxpayer Registration Number (TRN) or apply for Tax Compliance Certificate (TCC).

TAJ will continue to monitor the developing situation at the NWC, and will update the public on any further changes to the Tax Authority’s operations.

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.
