Tax Administration Jamaica (TAJ) is issuing a final reminder to business operators that consumption taxes for the month of November are due next Friday, December 29.
These taxes are GCT, SCT, TCT and GART. The reminder is in keeping with the requirement for these taxpayers to make their monthly consumption tax returns and payments on the last working day of the month, after the end of the taxable period.
TAJ warned that consumption taxes filed and paid after the last working day of the month will be considered late and the necessary penalties and interest charges will be applied. Business persons are reminded that they have a suite of online payment options at their fingertips, which includes the TAJ Direct Funds Transfer process for business-related tax payments.
These are in addition to customers being able to make payments via the tax authority’s website, www.jamaicatax.gov.jm, using a credit card, or other banking card with credit card features, or using the Scotiabank’s electronic funds transfer portal via TAJ’s website.
Consumption tax filers still have the option of making their payments at any of the 28 tax offices islandwide. All business persons registered to collect GCT are reminded that they MUST file their GCT returns online via TAJ’s online portal at www.jamaicatax.gov.jm.
