The outgoing President of the Jamaica Civil Service Association, JCSA, O’Neil Grant is demanding a swift increase to the income tax threshold. He insists this is the only way the middle-income earner will be able to survive the tax burden noting despite increases many in the public sector are being hampered by income tax.
He says unfortunately the compensation restructuring was not a percentage increase otherwise they would have taken a different approach. Grant highlights concerns that members shared while bemoaning the massive income tax deductions, adding to workers’ dissonance. Watch the report:
