Fiji Revenue and Customs Services has extended the due date for the mandatory Tax Identification Number requirement for mobile wallet accounts to 31st January 2026.
FRCS says that a valid TIN is required to open and maintain mobile wallet accounts.
According to the 2025–2026 National Budget Promulgation, all customers must update their details with their e-wallet service providers.
FRCS adds that customers who use e-wallets for business transactions must maintain a separate account exclusively for business use. They are also urged to ensure these accounts are correctly registered with a valid TIN and used solely for business purposes.
Under the new provisions of the Tax Administration Act, non-compliance may attract a fine of $25,000 or imprisonment for up to 10 years.
FRCS says it will continue to work with all licensed e-wallet service providers to ensure the smooth rollout of these requirements.
