The tax administrator believes it should continue to look at streamlining and simplifying our tax administration.
In his response to the comments by the Fiji Law Society president Wylie Clarke that “Fiji’s taxation system is not fit for purpose and is overly complex and unequal”, Fiji Revenue and Customs Service CEO Mark Dixon said he agreed with the statement.
Mr Dixon said it was important to ensure they did not have too many tax types and to have only a few tax types that were needed, mainly VAT, corporate income tax and personal income tax.
“Wherever possible we make sure that we simplify those tax types as much as we can.”
