The National Housing Trust (NHT) has extended its Employer Arrears Amnesty Programme from April 1 to May 31, 2025.
Prime Minister, Dr Andrew Holness, gave details at the opening of Expo Jamaica 2025 at the National Indoor Sports Centre in St Andrew on April 3.
“This extension provides employers in the micro, small and medium enterprise business sector and charitable organisations with a valuable window to regularise their accounts and benefit from the waiver of penalties and interests on arrears,” he informed.
He said under the extension, qualifying employers are offered a 100 per cent waiver on interests and this will go to arrears up to March 31, 2025.
The amnesty was originally scheduled to conclude on March 31, 2025.
The Employer Arrears Amnesty Programme was implemented on June 11, 2024 and targets charitable institutions registered with the Ministry of Finance and the Public Service and businesses with up to 50 employees and turnover of less than $425 million.
