Tax offices to close early on election day
TAX Administration Jamaica (TAJ) said in a statement Thursday that all tax offices will close to the public at 12:00 pm on Monday, day of the local government elections.
“Business locations, however, will close at 1:00 pm. The closures are to facilitate TAJ personnel exercising their right to vote,” TAJ said.
Said the statement: “Persons may opt to avoid a tax office visit entirely by conducting several transactions online at www.jamaicatax.gov.jm, to include payment for driver’s licence renewal, fitness certificate, traffic ticket, business-related taxes and deductions and property tax, as well as electronically querying property tax liabilities.
Additionally, it said taxpayers may make use of the Saturday operating hours this weekend, February 24, 2024 at select locations, namely: St Andrew, Portmore, Savanna-la-Mar, St Ann’s Bay, and Montego Bay tax offices. Regular business hours will resume on Tuesday, February 27.
