Living There

In Jamaica, a tax rate of 25% is levied on the statutory income of an individual. This means that the taxable income is equal to total income less deductions.

Residents are entitled to a tax-free amount of JMD169,104 (US$2,543). Likewise, there is a JMD45,000 (US$677) allowance granted to taxpayers of old age (65 years old and above). An allowance of JMD45,000 (US$677) is given to taxpayers earning pension income.
