UPDATE: Murder-suicide forces week-long closure of downtown Kingston tax office

KINGSTON, Jamaica – The Tax Administration Jamaica (TAJ) office in downtown Kingston has been closed for a week following this morning’s murder/ suicide at the establishment.

TAJ said in an advisory today that services at the Taxpayer Registration Card Distribution Centre (Shops 26 & 27 Kingston Mall) are expected to resume by July 25.

“Today’s early closure is as a result of a shooting incident that took place at that office this morning,” TAJ said.

The Government agency said it is now in the process of providing counselling for staff in the aftermath of the “traumatic” event.

In the meantime, people are advised to visit the King Street Revenue Service Centre or any other tax office to conduct their usual TRN transactions.
