Following an assessment of the work being carried out at the Stamp Duty and Transfer Tax Office, located at 111 Harbour Street, Kingston, Tax Administration Jamaica (TAJ) wishes to advise the public that that Office will remain closed on Friday February 1, 2019.

1. All payments are to be made at Cashier 1, located on the ground floor of the Kingston Revenue Service Centre (KRSC), 1 – 3 King Street.

2. All authentication i.e. barcoding, sealing and delivery of the documents will be conducted on the ground floor of the KRSC, 1- 3 King Street.

3. Cross Stamping will be conducted from the 4th Floor Conference Room, KRSC, 1 – 3 King
Street.

4. Express documents e.g. Ministers license, court documents, powers of attorney, deed poll etc., will be processed at the Taxpayer Registration Centre (TRC), Shops 26 and 27 Kingston Mall.

5. Normal and Property Assessment at the TRC Office, Shops 26 and 27, Kingston Mall
