Tax Administration Jamaica (TAJ) will open the doors of its Kingston Revenue Service Centre at 1-3 King Street downtown Kingston this Saturday, March 15, only.

The opening time is 9:00 am-2:00 pm TJA says the Saturday operation at the location is primarily to support Income Tax filers making the necessary preparations by hosting a Special Taxpayer Assistance Programme (STAP) session ahead of the March 17 deadline. 

The Portmore Tax Office, which operates standardly on Saturday, will continue its usual Saturday business hours (9:00 am-2:00 pm). While TAJ continues to support its Income Tax filers this Saturday, taxpayers will also be able to do regular weekday business with the exception of audit services. 

This includes access to taxpayer services, including same day driver’s licence processing, motor vehicle registration and other motor vehicle transactions. Persons may also apply for a Taxpayer Registration Number (TRN), and make tax and fee payments, as the Tax Authority continues to provide additional access to its services.

This tax season, taxpayers are reminded of the Special Arrears Settlement Programme which will waive/remit Interest, Penalty and Surcharge accrued once outstanding principal taxes are paid by March 31, 2025. Income Tax filers have an opportunity to reduce their debt stock, and may access information at the STAP session this Saturday, online at www.jamaicatax.gov.jm or via the toll free line 888.829.4357.

Persons may access even more convenience and opt to avoid a Tax Office visit entirely by conducting several transactions online 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.
