The outstanding performance by track and field athletes at the recently concluded Olympic Games is the latest demonstration of the indomitable spirit of the Jamaican people, according to Leighton Beckles, communication officer at Tax Administration Jamaica (TAJ).Beckles says this can-do spirit, as well as our ability to "tun our hand and mek fashion" has been a hallmark of Jamaicans in various fields of pursuit since Independence in 1962. At the organisational level, the revenue official reports that TAJ has invested heavily in technological infrastructure to provide a customer-centric service."More specifically, for the Diaspora, we have gone even further to allow persons from anywhere in the world to pay their property taxes and meet their obligations here at home," Beckles tells Impacting Jamaica host Byron Buckley.However, Beckles worries that the Jamaican cultural identity is being gradually eroded by Westernised influences. In addition, he has issued a call to arms for Jamaicans to arrest the rising level of crime and violence. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
