In 1985, the government of Jamaica embarked on a comprehensive tax reformed system. This reform included changes in the personal income tax, the company tax, and indirect taxes. The reforms of the personal income tax were particularly profound. A complicated, narrowly-based individual income tax levied under tax code was replaced by a broadly-based single-rate tax in 1986. Before the reform, the highest marginal tax rate of 60 per cent was reached at the relatively low tax base of less than three times per capita GDP.

     In 1985, the government of Jamaica embarked on a comprehensive tax reformed system. This reform included changes in the personal income tax, the company tax, and indirect taxes. The reforms of the personal income tax were particularly profound. A complicated, narrowly-based individual income tax levied under tax code was replaced by a broadly-based single-rate tax in 1986. Before the reform, the highest marginal tax rate of 60 per cent was reached at the relatively low tax base of less than three times per capita GDP. The provisions of the employees were complicated, with no standard deduction and sixteen separate credits. In addition, employers could grant nontaxable allowances to reform. The resulting tax system was difficult and costly to administer and (to contain) important disincentives; evasion and avoidance all but negated the progressivity of the statutory rate structure.

     Under the progressive statutory rate, the complex rate structure was replaced with a single rate of 33 1/3 percent; the 16 tax credits were replaced with a standard deduction equal to two times per capita GDP; most non-taxable allowances were incorporated into the annual income level; and interest income was included in the tax base. The major changes in the tax law introduced in 1985 remain unchanged making the present-day tax system stable and conducive to the economic development.
