Tax Clearance Certificate (TCC) Fiji | Registered Tax Agent, Nadi

Tax clearance

When you need a TCC

A tax compliance certificate shows FRCS that your returns are filed and your tax is paid. You will usually be asked for one when:

Tendering for work

Government and many private contracts ask for a current TCC before they will pay or award work.

Applying for finance

Banks and lenders often ask for a TCC with a loan or refinance application.

Permits and immigration

Investor, work and other permit applications can need proof that your tax is up to date.

Sending money overseas

Paying overseas suppliers, sending sale proceeds or remitting funds offshore needs tax clearance for the payment.

Selling or transferring property

Property sales and estate transfers often need tax matters settled before they can go through.

Licences and registrations

Some licences and renewals ask for evidence that you are tax compliant.

Common questions

What is a tax clearance certificate (TCC) in Fiji?

A TCC, also called a tax compliance certificate, is issued by FRCS to confirm that your tax returns are filed and your tax is paid. Banks, government agencies, immigration and contract owners often ask for one.

When do I need a TCC?

Most often for tenders and contracts, loan or refinance applications, investor and work permits, sending money overseas, property sales and estate transfers, and some licence renewals.

Why would FRCS refuse my TCC?

The most common reasons are unfiled returns (including nil years), VAT, PAYE or FNPF months not lodged, tax or penalties still owing, payments not allocated to your account, an old business that was never deregistered, or an open FRCS query or audit.

How long does it take to get a TCC?

If your FRCS account is up to date, it is mainly FRCS processing time. If returns or payments are missing, those must be fixed first. We review your account and give you a realistic timeline before we start.

Can I still get a TCC if I have overdue returns or penalties?

Yes. We lodge the missing returns, apply for penalty remission and arrange payment of anything owed, then apply for the TCC and follow it up with FRCS until it is issued.

How much does a TCC cost?

Our fee starts from $500 + VAT for the TCC application and follow-up, and from $500 per clearance for an overseas payment. Missing personal returns start from $400 per year and penalty remission is quoted. We confirm the final fee in writing before we start.
