Pay your taxes or you can’t fly out of Jamaica, ‘The Government’ tells Elephant Man! Their is a list of 50 persons who cant leave until.....

The Jamaican government has a hit list of 50 prominent tax evaders, and somehwere on that list is flambouyant, colour-colour hair deejay, Oneil ‘Elephant Man’ Bryan.

The dancehall artiste was scheduled to leave the island on Wednesday but was turned back at the airport by oficials who picked up his name on the Top 50.

Since then, the artiste has resolved his outstanding tax obligations and left the island on Thursday to join the rest of his entourage for a tour of Europe.

In a press release, his management stated that Elephant Man held discussions with local tax authorities on Thursday morning which cleared the way for the subsequent lifting of the travel ban placed on him by immigration officials at the island’s ports.

One source close to the deejay revealed that between 2000 and 2005, Elephant Man’s tax returns totalled more than $5 million. However, the source could not confirm how much was owing at this time, and whether or not he had made payments since 2005.

Elephant Man who is booked to perform at venues in Switzerland, France, Germany and Holland should return to Jamaica in mid-April.
