How to Pay Your Taxes as a Remote Worker in Jamaica | ft. Colette Guthrie (Ep. 26)

If you're earning money from a foreign employer and living in Jamaica, you have a tax obligation - and it's yours to manage, not your employer's. 

In this episode, I sit down with Colette Guthrie, a tax professional at PriceWaterhouseCoopers Jamaica, to break down exactly what Jamaican remote workers need to know about paying their taxes correctly.

We cover:

• How tax residency works and why it means you're taxed on your worldwide income
• The four statutory deductions every self-employed remote worker must account for
• How to set up your account with Tax Administration Jamaica (TAJ) and file as self-employed
• Deductible business expenses — including your internet and phone
• The biggest mistakes people make when filing (and how to avoid them)
