Individual Income Taxes on a Person’s Earnings

Non-resident individuals are only obligated to pay income taxes on the earnings they generate while physically present in the country when it comes to income taxes in Jamaica. Residents and incorporated individuals are required to pay income taxes on their worldwide profits, whereas residents and incorporated individuals are only required to pay income taxes on the earnings they generate while physically present in the country. It is generally accepted that when income is generated from foreign sources, non-Jamaicans are exempt from paying tax on such income until that revenue is transferred back to the nation of origin. Workers in Jamaica who are not residents of the country are subject to taxation on both compensation for services rendered within and in relation to the country (with limited exclusions) and income earned within the country, regardless of where they are domiciled in the world. Workers in Jamaica who are not residents of the country are subject to taxation on compensation for services rendered within and in relation to the country (with limited exclusions).

The following are the personal income tax rates:

Personal income tax is levied at a 25% rate on chargeable income (which cannot exceed JMD 6 million per year) less a tax-free threshold of JMD 500,000 per year (where applicable). In the case of chargeable income in excess of JMD 6 million per year, the amount is subject to income tax at a 30% rate. Individuals who are tax residents of Jamaica are entitled to a tax-free income threshold of JMD 1.5 million per year.

Local income taxes are levied.

Individuals are subjected to taxation at the national level. At the local level, there is no separate imposition of income tax.

    Came to the company by Google search for a trucking accountant. They turned out to be a very competent and experienced firm. I really liked the online aspect where you can do the entire transaction without ever stepping foot in the office. I just app scanned all my tax forms and set them in. They will ask for anything you don't send if needed and it was all done in a few days. I also paid via online payments. It's convenient being a truck driver as I'm not around much. The quality of service is great and they caught all the details of trucking and I claimed things other accountants have missed. For sure I'll be recommending them to others and coming back next year.
