Tax Administration Jamaica (TAJ) is urging the public to exercise caution when conducting business online and to remain vigilant against fraudulent schemes designed to obtain personal information or payments through illegitimate channels.

TAJ says it was moved to issue the advisory following a recent scam attempt involving a fake website falsely claiming to facilitate the payment of traffic ticket fines, as well as another effort to mislead customers during the Income Tax filing period.

It is emphasising that its official website is jamaicatax.gov.jm and is urging customers to ensure they are accessing that address directly when conducting any online transaction with the organisation.
