TAJ says systems ready for traffic ticket amnesty

KINGSTON, Jamaica — Tax Administration Jamaica (TAJ) says its systems have been updated to allow motorists to pay for outstanding traffic tickets, dating back to September 2010.

The recently announced traffic ticket amnesty began today as the Government seeks to recover $2.8 billion owed by delinquent motorists for outstanding tickets. It will end on October 31.

The amnesty will also allow motorists to pay outstanding traffic tickets without attracting demerit points; giving them the opportunity to begin with a clean slate before the new Road Traffic Act is implemented.

TAJ, in an advisory today, said these payments may be made online at www.jamaicatax.gov.jm, using any valid internationally accepted credit card, provided that the traffic ticket number is reflected.

Additionally, persons may visit any tax office island wide to make payments by presenting their traffic ticket or by providing the ticket number for easy processing.

During the amnesty period, TAJ said it will open on some Saturdays, starting August 12, at several tax offices from 10:00 am — 4:00 pm.

These offices include:

 • St Andrew

• Montego Bay

 • Mandeville

• Savanna-la-mar

 • Spanish

• May Pen

 • St Ann’s Bay

• Portmore

TAJ also said people will be able to conduct other transactions as they would during the week, these include: property tax payment, motor vehicle registration, driver’s licence renewal as well as the usual taxpayer service support.

However, compliance and audit services will not be available during Saturday operations.

People seeking information on the amnesty or to make queries on outstanding tickets are directed to contact the Jamaica Constabulary Force’s specially arranged Traffic Ticket Amnesty Call Centre at 948-0411 on Mondays to Fridays, 8:30am — 5:00pm.

Two new models in one week — how to test them on your own work before you switch
Anthropic shipped Claude Fable 5.1 on 1 September and OpenAI followed with GPT-6 Astra two days later. Both are described by their makers as the most capable models they have built. Neither claim tells you whether your month-end gets better. Here is a two-hour test that does, and a note on what each launch actually gives a business paying US$20 a month, which is less than the headlines suggest.
