The Tax Administration Jamaica (TAJ) says it will stop accepting and issuing cheques by March 2028, in compliance with new procedures being implemented by the Bank of Jamaica and commercial banks.
The phased withdrawal will begin on September 1, 2026, when TAJ stops accepting cheques from government entities and manager’s cheques valued at $1 million or more.
In a statement today, the TAJ said the acceptance threshold will then be reduced in phases, before cheque acceptance is eliminated entirely by March 2028.
