Tax Administration Jamaica (TAJ) is advising the public that a number of its tax offices in western Jamaica are currently offering limited services during reduced operating hours on weekdays.

This comes in the aftermath of Hurricane Melissa where operations across several locations in western Jamaica have been disrupted. The locations offering limited services include the Montego Bay Revenue Service Centre, Falmouth Tax Office, Jackson Town Tax Office, Darliston Tax Office and the Lucea Tax Office. The Montego Bay Revenue Service Centre remains open from 8:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., providing all regular services except same-day Driver’s Licence processing. 

Meanwhile, the Falmouth, Jackson Town, Darliston, and Lucea Tax Offices are operating from 8:30 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. These offices are currently able to issue previously processed documents only, including Driver’s Licences, Motor Vehicle Registration Plates, Motor Vehicle Titles, Taxpayer Registration Number (TRN) Cards Support for TAJ eServices, including Electronic Motor Vehicle Registration (eMVRC), is also available at these locations. 

Customers accessing eServices must bring their own digital devices with internet connectivity. TAJ teams are actively working to restore full services at all western Jamaica tax offices as soon as possible. 

In the meantime, taxpayers are encouraged to utilize the wide range of services available via the online platform at www.jamaicatax.gov.jm, including tax payments and motor vehicle transactions. TAJ thanks the public for their patience and understanding during this recovery period.
