Online payment for property tax
published: Sunday | April 9, 2006

THE TAX administration directorate last year introduced an ePayment portal or virtual collectorate to offer taxpayers the ease and comfort of paying a select set of taxes online (at anytime from home or office) by visiting the website www. jamaicatax-online.gov.jm

During this period, persons are reminded that they may use the convenience of the online payment facility to pay their property tax, which became due April 1, 2006.

In addition to property tax, other taxes and fees that can be paid online are traffic tickets; consumption taxes (GCT and SCT); betting tax; hotel tax; other fees (e.g. JSC exam fees, employment agency fees and petrol filling station A/B/C).

To pay online, persons need a valid MasterCard, Visa or Key Card, an email address and a taxpayer registration number (TRN).

To use the ePayment tax facility for the first time, persons must create a username and password. The simple easy to follow, five-step, user-friendly process makes online payments convenient and allows for a more efficient, less costly use of time.

FIVE EASY STEPS

1Enter username and password, create log in and user profile if you are using the ePayment service for the first time.

2Select the tax type you wish to pay, such as property tax, traffic ticket, general consumption tax, special consumption tax, betting tax or hotel licences, then confirm tax details.

3Add to the tax total.

4At the end of the transaction, either select another tax, or pay the taxes using your credit card.

5View and print or write the transaction reference number for your records.

The virtual collectorate is part of the public sector modernisation programme to enhance government services in Jamaica through the use of information communication technologies, and was developed in partnership with the Ministry of Commerce, Science and Technology as part of an eGovernment project.


For further information, contact the toll-free service
1-888-TaxHelp (1-888-829-4357) or any of the 28 collectorates islandwide.
