Buff Bay tax office to permanently close

Tax Administration Jamaica (TAJ) is reporting that it will close the Buff Bay Tax Office in Portland as of September 3, 2018, because the quality of the building has become compromised.

The TAJ says further repairs to the building are no longer viable and it has to ensure the safety of staff and customers.

The agency says staff will be redeployed to the Port Antonio and Annotto Bay Tax Offices to complement those teams in providing service to the public.

As a result of the impending closure, taxpayers are being asked to collect their motor vehicle titles, driver’s licences and taxpayer registration number (TRN) Cards by Thursday, August 30, 2018, as there will be no further distribution from the Buff Bay Tax Office after this date.

Persons will now be required to collect their documents from the Port Antonio Tax Office commencing Monday, September 3, 2018.
