Business persons are being encouraged to use the online option which facilitates the filing and payment of all major tax types, including Income Tax, Minimum Business Tax, Payroll Taxes, Property Tax and General Consumption Tax. Customers can log on to the Tax Portal at www.jamaicatax.gov.jm from the convenience of their home or office, at any time, to pay the various taxes and fees using a KeyCard, MasterCard or Visa credit card.
