Saturday Operations Suspended at Portmore Tax Office

Tax Administration Jamaica (TAJ) wishes to advise the public that it will suspend Saturday operations at its Portmore Tax Office beginning on Saturday April 4, 2020 until further notice.

This means that effective April 4, 2020 Saturday operations at the Portmore Tax Office will cease until further notice. However, Portmore and all other Tax Offices and Stamp Office the locations will continue weekday operations in keeping with the tax authority’s changed operations hours from 8:30am - 2:00pm.

TAJ took the decision recently to change its operating hours in light of a recent islandwide curfew declaration. During this period customers of our tax offices in the corporate area and the larger offices outside of Kingston and St. Andrew are asked to take note that these offices now open at 8:30 am and not the usual 8:00 am.

Similarly, all TAJ business offices, including the Corporate Office, will now close at 3:00pm. All operation changes will remain in effect until further advised, in keeping with Government of Jamaica (GOJ) posture on fighting COVID-19.

TAJ continues to appeal to customers, to cooperate with the instructions of security at our locations to form an orderly line and maintain the recommended social distance of at least 3 feet. Continued failure to comply may result in TAJ having to take additional steps to ensure the safety of waiting customers.
