Portmore Tax Office Saturday Closures during December

Tax Administration Jamaica (TAJ) is advising the public, that Tax Offices will not be opened on Saturday December 31, 2002 which is customary for the last Saturday of the month, as it observes the holiday weekends.

Persons are reminded that they can still do business online www.jamaicatax.gov.jm with several transactions, to include payment for Driver’s Licence renewal, Fitness Certificate, Traffic Ticket, business-related taxes and deductions and Property Tax using a valid credit card or any other banking card with credit card features, as well as electronically querying Property Tax liabilities.

Customers may also avail themselves of a range of other online payments options, including to make several business payments via the TAJ Direct Funds Transfer service, via the National Commercial Bank, as NCB customers are able to use their online banking platform by adding TAJ as a Payee. 

Additionally, TAJ also offers its expanded Direct Funds Transfer (DFT) payment channel which includes Stamp Duty and Transfer Tax as a payment type as well as its Scotia Bank account as a beneficiary account. This means that in addition to the ability to make payments for Payroll Deductions, Income Tax, Consumption Taxes, Trade and Business Licences, as well as several other business-related taxes, customers now also have the ability to make Stamp Duty and Transfer Tax payments using the convenient DFT option.
