Tax Administra­tion Jamaica: Changing the way we do business!

I implore everyone; make road safety a part of your daily lives, reduce cell phone use on the road, wear safety gears while riding a motor cycle, use your seat belt, be alert and practice defensive driving. Walk, ride, drive with care. Be your brother’s keeper; think not only of yourself but of others the life you save might just be your own. - Mikael Phillips - Opposition Spokesman on Transport and Mining
