People and business will be able to see a clear, daily updated view of Fiji’s fiscalisation progress and allow direct public participation in VAT compliance after the launch of a new public dashboard for the VAT Monitoring System.
The Fiji Revenue and Customs Service worked in partnership with Data Tech International.
FRCS says the dashboard, accessible through the FRCS VMS portal, displays indicators refreshed daily, including the number of fiscalised taxpayers and business locations, activated secure elements, recorded sales, invoice volumes, and receipt verifications.
They say users may filter data by administrative area to understand local trends, while integrated tools allow the public to verify invoices, report when fiscal invoices are not issued, and flag suspicious receipts.
FRCS CEO Udit Singh says this launch is both a transparency milestone and a practical step toward fair competition.
He says by expanding VMS coverage to new sectors and opening access to real-time indicators, the public can see progress, understand expectations, and play an active role by verifying receipts.
Singh says it sends a clear message that the rules apply equally and that honest businesses will not be undercut by non-compliance.
DTI Chief Executive Officer Goran Todorov emphasized the system’s accessibility.
He says DTI is proud to support FRCS with a tested, reliable, and mobile-friendly dashboard designed for every Fijian.
Todorov says by combining daily data, local drilldowns, and easy reporting tools, we strengthen trust in the tax system and support FRCS’s modernisation efforts.
FRCS adds the initiative coincides with their phased expansion of VAT monitoring to business sectors previously outside scope, reinforcing a level playing field and ensuring all taxpayers meet their obligations.
They say on the VMS portal people can verify whether an invoice is valid (with or without a QR code), report non-issuance of a fiscal invoice, flag suspicious invoices for further review and explore daily VMS metrics and trends, including views by province or area.
FRCS is again reminding businesses on the timelines of registration for Phase 3 as per Gazette Notice 61/2025, with the first set of business groups namely architecture, engineering, construction, real estate and service stations, whose registration deadline is 30th September 2025.
They say it is important that businesses comply with the Electronic Fiscal Device [EFD] Regulations 2017, and the public is encouraged to make use of the portal.
The CEO adds that transparency protects compliant taxpayers, informs smart enforcement, and builds public confidence that the tax system is fair.
