With the March 15 Income Tax due date just days away, Tax Administration Jamaica (TAJ) is urging taxpayers to begin preparations to file their income tax returns early and online to avoid the usual last minute rush.

All companies, organisations, self-employed persons, as well as employed persons with additional sources of income, are reminded to file their Annual Income Tax Return for the year 2018 and to declare their Estimated Income and Tax Payable for the year 2019 on or before the March 15 due date. Taxpayers, including professionals and self-employed persons such as entertainers, doctors, lawyers, landlords, shopkeepers, barbers, hairdressers, taxi/bus operators and others are encouraged to register to file and pay online via the TAJ’s upgraded tax portal at www.jamaicatax.gov.jm.
