Jamaica statutory deductions explained

Every Jamaican employee’s payslip carries four standard statutory deductions: PAYE (income tax), NIS (National Insurance Scheme), NHT (National Housing Trust), and Education Tax. Employers deduct these from each pay and pay them to TAJ by the 14th of the following month.
