Tax Registration & Compliance – SGH CORE

Simplify Your Business Taxes with SGH Core

At SGH Core, we make tax registration and compliance easy for entrepreneurs, companies, and freelancers. Whether you’re a Jamaican resident or living overseas, our team ensures your business is properly registered with all the required Jamaican tax authorities — so you can focus on growth, not paperwork.

What We Handle

We manage the full process of business tax registration and setup, including:

✅ Taxpayer Registration Number (TRN)
Every business and business owner in Jamaica must have a TRN. It’s your official tax ID used for business transactions, bank account setup, and government filings.

For non-residents, this is similar to a Tax Identification Number (TIN) or Social Security Number (SSN).
SGH Core assists both locals and foreigners in obtaining a TRN through the Tax Administration Jamaica (TAJ).

✅ National Insurance Scheme (NIS)
The NIS is Jamaica’s social security program that provides benefits like pensions, maternity, and disability support.

Every employer and employee must register.
SGH Core handles NIS registration for both company owners and their staff to ensure compliance.

✅ National Housing Trust (NHT)
The NHT helps employees access affordable housing loans.

Companies are required to register with NHT and make monthly contributions.
SGH Core ensures your company is set up correctly and contributions are calculated properly.

✅ General Consumption Tax (GCT)
GCT is Jamaica’s version of VAT (Value Added Tax), charged on most goods and services at 15%.

Businesses earning over JMD $10 million per year must register for GCT.
SGH Core helps determine if your business qualifies and manages your application and monthly filing setup.

✅ Income Tax Registration
All registered businesses — whether sole traders, partnerships, or companies — must file income tax returns annually.

We help you register with TAJ for income tax and ensure you understand your filing obligations.
SGH Core provides support for both new and existing businesses to stay tax-compliant year-round.

PAYE Filing

PAYE (Pay As You Earn) is a system where employers deduct income tax, NIS, NHT, and Education Tax from employees’ salaries and pay it directly to the Tax Administration Jamaica (TAJ). It ensures employees’ taxes are paid monthly and businesses stay compliant with national tax laws.

TAX FORMS EXPLAINED

S01 Form – Employer’s Monthly Statutory Remittance

Used by employers to report and pay monthly deductions for employees, such as PAYE, NIS, NHT, and Education Tax.
Due by the 14th of each month.

S02 Form – Annual Employer Declaration

This summarizes the total statutory deductions (PAYE, NIS, NHT, etc.) made for the entire year. It must be submitted at the end of each financial year to confirm all payments and filings are accurate.

IT02 Form – Corporate Income Tax Return

Used by companies (Limited Liability, Incorporated, etc.) to declare annual income, expenses, and taxes due.
💡 Includes financial statements and tax computations.
Due three months after the company’s financial year-end.

IT07 Form – Employer’s Annual Return

Due by March 31 each year.

IT03 Form – Self-Employed/Individual Income Tax Return

Used by self-employed individuals, freelancers, or sole traders to report personal business income, expenses, and taxes owed.
Due March 15 each year.

S04 Form – Employer’s Cessation Form

Submitted when an employer stops employing staff or closes the business. It notifies TAJ that no more statutory deductions will be filed.

S04A Form – Employee Termination Form

Used to report when an employee leaves a company — through resignation, dismissal, or retirement — ensuring all final deductions and payments are cleared.
