The Annotto Bay tax office in St Mary and the Portmore tax office in St Catherine are to remain closed for today as the Tax Authority undertakes further assessment following yesterday’s 5.6 magnitude earthquake.

The authority says the move is out of an abundance of caution until structural engineers complete their work. 

It says frontline staff have been redirected to alternative locations to provide operational support.

The authority says persons may opt to visit another location or do business online at www.jamaicatax.gov.jm or via its mobile app.

All other tax offices were reopened for usual business this morning.
