Fiji’s ongoing fuel supply concerns could place added pressure on government revenue, with the Fiji Revenue and Customs Service closely monitoring the situation.

Chief Executive, Udit Singh, says the issue is not unique to Fiji, noting that many countries are facing similar challenges.

Singh says the focus at this stage is on maintaining essential operations, with government and agencies working together to determine minimum business requirements during the disruption.

He adds that organisations, including FRCS, are reviewing their business continuity plans regularly as uncertainty continues.

Singh expressed hope that the situation will stabilise soon.

While no specific changes to taxation have been outlined, the ongoing fuel shortage is expected to remain a key factor influencing economic activity in the near term.

Meanwhile, fuel prices will surge nationwide from today, with all divisions recording sharp increases driven by global oil market pressures.
