      Drawing on deep industry knowledge and extensive experience across key sectors, our seasoned professionals are well positioned to support clients in addressing a wide range of tax challenges. From direct tax (i.e. income tax) and indirect taxes (such as VAT and FBT) to specialized tax concerns such as transfer pricing, the team provides tailored solutions that help businesses manage both expansion into Fiji and the ongoing demands of existing operations.

      Our comprehensive tax services include:  

      • Corporate & Personal Income Tax – review, preparation, and compliance   

      • Indirect Tax Services – VAT, FBT, PAYE, PT, and other obligations 

      • Capital Gains Tax – advisory and compliance support 

      • Tax Due Diligence – risk assessment and mitigation strategies for transactions 

      • Market Entry & Transactions – guidance on corporate restructuring, mergers, and acquisitions 

      Payroll services

      Payroll can be complicated and getting it right requires the right expertise and resources. Fiji’s regulatory landscape is changing and navigating these changes can be challenging. Not understanding these changes can pose significant risk and costs to businesses. 

      At KPMG Fiji we provide comprehensive payroll outsourcing services which are tailored to help businesses achieve accurate, compliant and confidential payroll. KPMG also assists businesses by providing advice on payroll and payroll related topics. 

      We can help you to manage your payroll and tax compliance requirements so that you can focus on growing your business. 

      Our end-to-end payroll process outsourcing and tax compliance include:

      • administration of the payroll process

      • trust account services to facilitate remittance of funds to employees, statutory bodies and other third parties, including payments offshore

      • preparation and filing of payroll tax compliance obligations including payroll tax, Fiji National Provident Fund contributions, training levy and others

      • payroll reporting to meet business needs 

      • salary calculations and models including those based on foreign currencies and assisting with shadow payroll for Fiji tax compliance

      Transfer pricing services

      In today’s global economy, transfer pricing is a critical component of tax planning for multinational businesses. As tax authorities worldwide tighten regulations and increase scrutiny, having a robust transfer pricing strategy is more important than ever. It plays a central role in addressing Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (BEPS) and the Pillar One and Pillar Two initiatives. Fiji is no different, and the increased focus on related party cross border trade and transactions means it is important to get this right at the outset.

       

      How KPMG can help:

      Transfer Pricing Policy Development

      Create and implement pricing strategies that align with your business model and meet regulatory expectations.

      Documentation & Compliance

      Prepare comprehensive documentation to support your transfer pricing positions and reduce the risk of penalties.

      Audit Support & Dispute Resolution

      Respond confidently to inquiries from tax authorities with expert guidance and representation.

      Global Coordination

      Leverage our international network to ensure consistency and compliance across all jurisdictions.

      Why it matters:

      Governments are responding to globalisation by:

      • Strengthening transfer pricing legislation

      • Requiring more detailed documentation

      • Imposing stricter penalties for non-compliance 

      KPMG helps you stay ahead of these changes, reduce risk, and maintain tax efficiency across your global operations.

      Transaction services – buy and sell side assistance

      Businesses face increasing pressure to deliver results for stakeholders. At KPMG Fiji, we approach opportunities like investors, considering how buying, selling, partnering, funding, or restructuring can add and preserve value. Today’s deals require integrating business strategy, acquisition plans, divestments, fund raising, and restructuring with the entire business, sector, and global economy in mind. 

      With access to our global firm expertise and resources, combined with our in-depth knowledge of the Fiji tax and regulatory framework and experience in assisting with successful divestment and acquisition transactions in Fiji, KPMG Fiji can provide sell side and buy side assistance.

      Restructuring assistance

      Restructuring to achieve a simple effective business structure and to support estate planning purposes is becoming ever more relevant in today’s complex regulatory and commercial environment. KPMG Fiji understands that corporate and family business models once suited to operational and strategic ambitions evolve over time and may require a review and update to align with future business strategies and succession objectives. 

      KPMG Fiji can assist clients by:

      • sitting down with business owners to unpack ideas – thinking about things like family succession plans; investment ambitions and business strategies;

      • reviewing existing business and ownership structures to identify inefficiencies, risks, and misalignment with future objectives; 

      • highlighting tax rules that apply to restructuring transactions and advising on practical restructure options that comply with Fiji’s tax and regulatory requirements;

      • providing end to end support from planning through to implementation and completion;

      • providing assistance with the restructure process, including coordination with other advisers and liaising with relevant authorities, to ensure the restructure is implemented efficiently and achieves the intended outcomes.
