powers invested in him by the Crown Property (Vesting) Act, 1960.
In April 1991 the Ministry of Industry,
Production and Commerce declared the premises to be a Free Zone.
The company commenced operations on
April 1,1986 and in keeping with the Governments Tax Administration Reform Programme,
has then worked on the development and implementation of systems for various
Revenue Departments providing an on-going operating services to these systems
and training uses to operate and manage the systems. The initial capitalization
for the building construction, computers and technical assistance was provided
in the form of grants from E.E.C., U.S.A.I.D., World Bank, and Government
of Jamaica counterpart funding.
Since then, the annual recurrent costs
and capital requirements are submitted to the Ministry of Finance for review
