The Barbados Revenue Authority (BRA)
is advising all pensioners who receive a contributory pension to register in
the new Tax Administration Management Information System (TAMIS) by March 31,
2019. However, pensioners who receive a non-contributory pension are not
required to register in TAMIS.
This is the word from
BRA Communications Officer, Erica Lazare, who revealed that many contributory
pensioners are yet to register in the new tax system to receive their new Tax
Identification Number (TIN).
“Having done our
checks, we have realized that although some contributory pensioners have already
registered online in TAMIS either by themselves or with the help of a family
member, there are many who are yet to register.
“This new TIN is
important because they will not be able to file their returns come April
without it,” she asserted.
Ms. Lazare added that
contributory pensioners who receive income over $40,000 a year, from whatever
source, whether locally or internationally, will be required to file Personal
Income Tax returns in TAMIS when filing season begins in April 2019.
She is also reminding
contributory pensioners that they require the following items to register in
TAMIS: an email address, national registration number and a contact number.
Contributory pensioners may register online at the TAMIS website, or receive assistance at one of the BRA’s four customer service locations at the Holetown Public Centre, Holetown; Warrens Tower II, Warrens; Treasury Building, Bridgetown and Weymouth Corporate Centre, Roebuck Street.
