Comptroller of the Inland Revenue Department (IRD) Kelvin Pompey said that as the September 30, 2025 deadline approaches for the payment of the many different types of taxes, their records are showing that property tax non-compliance is at an all time high. “This year, we are particularly concerned about the low level of compliance…low and decreasing levels of compliance with regard to property taxes,” Pompey told SEARCHLIGHT on Thursday, September, 18, 2025. He stated that as a result, the IRD is going to apply the necessary systems and measures to enforce property tax payments, while they continue to work with persons who may have outstanding amounts. “And, so we want to encourage persons to take the opportunity to assess whether or not they’ve been paying their property taxes, and to do so today.”Pompey said also that another method the IRD will be using is going to employers of property tax evaders to get amounts deduced from their pay packets.
