Suva electronics firm probed over $20m tax fraud

A prominent electronics company in Suva is under investigation for alleged tax fraud amounting to more than $20 million.

The company is under joint investigation by the Fiji Revenue and Customs Service (FRCS) and the Fiji Police Force.

It is believed the company owner was evading tax payment since 2019. It is also believed that the company owner has left the country.

In 2024, FRCS chief executive officer Udit Singh said the customs authority believes it was owed an estimated $1 billion in taxes, through tax evasion.

Last year, Mr Singh told a local media that majority of the cases involved local businesses, with some of them having foreign business connections.
