Tax Administration Jamaica
Tax Administration Jamaica (TAJ) proudly operates as the country’s premiere revenue collecting agency. In keeping with our mission, our primary goal is to foster voluntary compliance, collect the revenue due in an equitable and efficient manner, contribute to a competitive business environment and facilitate economic growth and development.
Through excellent service by our highly skilled staff, and in capitalising on the strengths of the organisation, our primary focus, as we strive to accomplish the broad goals and objectives set out by the Ministry of Finance and Planning and in general the people of Jamaica is one that embodies the mantra, “Working together to serve you Even better”.
In an effort to stay focused and committed, the management and staff of TAJ is devoted to its mandate. We have reached an important juncture in the history of the Administration, giving birth to a more efficient and unified organisation – lending relevance to the reform process as “we change the way we do business”. The operations of the former Inland Revenue Department (IRD), Taxpayer Audit and Assessment (TAAD) and the Tax Administration Services Departments (TASD) are now consolidated to form a single Tax Administration Jamaica.
This consolidation will undoubtedly impact positively on the efficiency and effectiveness in the Administration. TAJ’s enduring spirit has been driven by the pursuance of further excellence, especially as we now operate as a single TAJ.
