New Departure Tax: US$35 - Printable Version +- Jamericans (https://jamericans.net/yellowboard) +-- Forum: Jamaicaholics (https://jamericans.net/yellowboard/forumdisplay.php?fid=1) +--- Forum: Message Board (https://jamericans.net/yellowboard/forumdisplay.php?fid=3) +--- Thread: New Departure Tax: US$35 (/showthread.php?tid=101419)

New Departure Tax: US$35 - Passion4Diving - 05-15-2016 The increase to the departure to US$35 is planned to take effect on June 1, 2016. The current Government also stated that any future increases in the Jamaican departure tax will be stated in US dollars. For those wondering, the current departure tax is JA$1800 put into place in 1999 under huge objections from the tourist industry as being too high (was equivalent to US$20 at the time). The Government did not state if other currencies would be accepted for those who must physically pay the departure tax. For most visitors, the departure tax is included in the airfare pricing, but not for all visitors such as those using charter airlines (like Thomson from the UK). Fortunately, the arrival tax of US$20 did not increase. RE: New Departure Tax: US$35 - CardBoardBox - 05-16-2016 We are only talking about 2 weeks until June 1, but the Saturday 5/14 recap story implied sooner. As you wrote, the US airlines collect the tax (vs pay at the counter), so maybe prepaid tickets might not be affected 5/14-6/1/2016. Quote: However, to fill a $12.5 billion deficit in income tax revenue, Shaw increased taxes on cigarettes, petrol and departure tax, effective Friday. http://www.jamaicaobserver.com/latestnews/Weekly-Round-up---Income-tax-threshold-moves-to--1-5m-Hotel-building-collapses--Rihanna-starts-scholarship I forgot about the arrival tax. One airline site let me display the list of fees of my ticket, and it was as long as your arm. I've had a ticket which spanned a tax/fee increase and never got hit with a bill. Since the airlines do the collecting, they probably have an arrangement in these cases.
