The deadline for digital registration of all companies, foreign companies and business name holders has been extended to 31st December 2020.

This has been done in light of the COVID-19 pandemic’s serious impact on businesses throughout the country. Attorney General and Minister for Economy, Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum says this extension does not mean Fijian businesses should delay their digital registration.

He says in fact, COVID-19’s severe economic impact has made the need for accessible and reliable company information more critical than ever.

Sayed-Khaiyum adds that digital registration lessens the time, cost and difficulty for companies and businesses to access financial services like loans, ensure compliance, conduct company searches, arrange for e-payments and tap into the advantages of a modern, digital Fijian economy.

The digital registration exercise required all existing entities registered prior to 14 June 2019 to digitally register.
