Taxation in Fiji

Tax Rates

Individuals and companies are liable for normal tax which is payable on "chargeable income" i.e. Income less expenses and personal allowances. With effect from 1 January 2005, Fiji income tax rates on the chargeable income of resident and non-resident individuals and companies range from 15% to 31%. Further details on Fiji's tax system can be obtained from the Fiji Inland Revenue and Customs Authority (FIRCA).

Customs Duties

Customs duties are levied on goods entering Fiji. The rates vary from 3% to 27 % depending on the nature of goods e.g. luxury and semi-luxury items such as motor vehicles, electrical appliances, and liquor attract the highest duty of 27%. In addition to the duties, all goods are charged a value added tax (VAT) of 12.5 %.
