The sum is earmarked in the 2023/24 Estimates of Expenditure, tabled in the House of Representatives on Tuesday.
Tax Administration Jamaica (TAJ) will spearhead the project's execution between January 2023 and March 2025.
Programmed activities for fiscal year 2023/24 include construction of the new tax office building and supporting areas and installations, comprising a parking lot, guardhouse, generator room, air-conditioning units, fire-prevention system, and netball court, along with the procurement of furniture.
An estimated $77 million in additional funding has been earmarked to continue work in 2024/25.
The project is being financed by the Government of Jamaica.
