Second quarter tax payments due June 17

Tax Administration Jamaica (TAJ) is reminding business persons that the following taxes are due on June 15, 2019, however, because the 15th falls on the weekend, the due date is adjusted to Monday June 17, 2019:

·        Estimated Income Tax (2nd  quarter)

·        Self Employed Statutory Payments (2nd quarter)

Business persons are being encouraged to use our online payment option as the TAJ’s online service accommodates the filing and payment of all major tax types, including Income Tax, Property Tax, General Consumption Tax and Payroll Taxes. Persons may log on to the Tax Portal at www.jamaicatax.gov.jm from the convenience of their home or office and at any time, to pay the taxes now due, using a valid credit card.

Persons with a Bank of Nova Scotia (BNS) Account, may also opt to use the Automated Direct Deposit facility available on the TAJ Website, using the Automatic Clearing House (ACH).  This option allows users to make payment from their bank account directly to TAJ's bank account up to a maximum of $99,999,999.00

In addition to the online options, persons are being reminded that tax payments may be made at any of the 29 Tax Offices.

Persons are therefore encouraged to honour their tax obligations by making these payments on or before June 17 to avoid additional interest and penalties.
