Your privacy

The Barbados Revenue Authority is committed to ensuring that your privacy is protected.

Any personal information you provide to us will be kept for as long as necessary to achieve the purpose we collected it for. If your personal information becomes part of your Barbados Revenue Authority tax records, we will retain the information in accordance with our policy on retention of records.

To protect against identity theft and to protect your privacy online the BRA recommends the following precautions:

• Use strong passwords that have:
  • at least eight characters.
  • a mixture of numbers, letters and symbols.
  • both upper and lower cases.
• Have a different password for each website you use.
• Never share your passwords with anyone - even someone you trust might accidentally give away your password.
• Never write your passwords down.
• Before you enter your password check that the website address begins with "https" (the "s" stands for secure).
• When accessing important accounts like TAMIS or your bank, always type the address into the address bar yourself and check it before you press enter. This will guard against you clicking a fake link that may redirect you to a malicious website.
