Saturday Operations Resume at Portmore Tax Office

             Saturday Operations Resume at Portmore Tax Office
Tax Administration Jamaica (TAJ) wishes to advise the public that it will resume Saturday operations at its Portmore Tax Office beginning on Saturday February 6, 2021.

This means that effective February 6, 2021 Saturday operations at the Portmore Tax Office will resume from 10:00 am – 4:00 pm, with the usual tax services that are offered on weekdays. However, passport services provided by the Passport, Citizenship and Immigration Agency (PICA) will not be facilitated during its Saturday operations, as TAJ makes the necessary accommodations to efficiently manage its service spaces during
the Covid19 pandemic.
 

TAJ took the decision to reinstate its Saturday operations, in anticipation of the expected increased demand for customer support and service during the usually busy tax season period.The Tax Authority continues to appeal to customers to cooperate with the instructions of security personnel at its locations, to form an orderly line and maintain the recommended social distance of at least 6 feet. The necessary Covid safety protocols have been implemented for the safety of its staff and clients. Failure to comply may result in TAJ having to take additional steps to ensure the safety of waiting customers.

Tax Administration Jamaica is reminding customers that several of its services can be accessed online at www.jamaicatax.gov.jm. These online services include all business related tax filing and payments, payment of certificate of fitness fee, property tax, traffic ticket as well as TCC application. Additionally, taxpayers have several other payment options at their fingertips, these include via TAJ’s tax portal using a credit card or any banking card with credit card features, the National Commercial Bank’s
online platform by adding TAJ as a payee, using the Bank of Nova Scotia’s automatic direct deposit via TAJ’s website, or via the new Direct Funds Transfer process.
