Fiji visitors are taking advantage of Fiji's new VAT refund System.
Under the scheme visitors to Fiji spending more than FJ$500.00 in one day in selected tourism outlets in Suva and Nadi are entitled to claim a 12 per cent refund from the country's customs authorities on departure. The system is very simple to use. To qualify a tourist must spend FJ$500 or more on the same day at any one of the 42 designated outlets and take the goods out of Fiji within two months from date of purchase. Special desks are set up in both pre and post check-in areas in Nadi International Airport and on board all cruise ships entering Suva Harbour and other Fijian ports.
