Share

The first increase of $100,000 in the income tax threshold announced by the Government last month takes effect today.

During her contribution to the 2025/2026 budget debate in Parliament on March 11, Finance Minister Fayval Williams said the threshold will gradually increase from $1.7 million to $2 million.

She said the threshold will be increased in three tranches, the first being $1.8 million.

While many Jamaicans welcomed this news, some tax experts warned that the new measure could result in challenges.
