No more TRN cards … TAJ switching to letters

Tax Administration Jamaica says it is removing the financial costs of printing Taxpayers Registration Number or TRN cards, and will instead advise taxpayers of their allotted numbers via letter.

The switch will save the tax collectorate a “significant” sum, director of communications Meris Haughton, told Sunday Business, but did not have the precise estimates available.

She, however, conceded that paper may not be as convenient as the laminated cards for persons, and that they will have to be more careful with the far more fragile letters. Tax Administration is also considering whether to issue plastic sleeves to hold the letters, she said, to assist with their preservation.
