FRCS LAUNCHES PUBLIC DASHBOARD FOR THE VAT MONITORING SYSTEM (VMS)
The Fiji Revenue and Customs Service (FRCS), in partnership with Data Tech International (DTI), today announced the launch of a new public dashboard for the VAT Monitoring System (VMS). The platform offers citizens and businesses a clear, daily-updated view of Fiji’s fiscalization progress and introduces tools for direct public participation in VAT compliance.
The dashboard, accessible through the FRCS VMS portal, displays indicators refreshed daily, including the number of fiscalized taxpayers and business locations, activated secure elements, recorded sales, invoice volumes, and receipt verifications. Users may filter data by administrative area to understand local trends, while integrated tools allow the public to verify invoices, report when fiscal invoices are not issued, and flag suspicious receipts.
“This launch is both a transparency milestone and a practical step toward fair competition,” said FRCS Chief Executive Officer Mr. Udit Singh. “By expanding VMS coverage to new sectors and opening access to real-time indicators, the public can see progress, understand expectations, and play an active role by verifying receipts. It sends a clear message that the rules apply equally and that honest businesses will not be undercut by non-compliance.”
DTI Chief Executive Officer Mr. Goran Todorov emphasized the system’s accessibility. “DTI is proud to support FRCS with a tested, reliable, and mobile-friendly dashboard designed for every Fijian. By combining daily data, local drill-downs, and easy reporting tools, we strengthen trust in the tax system and support FRCS’s modernization efforts.”
The initiative coincides with FRCS’s phased expansion of VAT monitoring to business sectors previously outside scope, reinforcing a level playing field and ensuring all taxpayers meet their obligations.
What the public can do on the VMS portal:
• Verify whether an invoice is valid (with or without a QR code).
• Report non-issuance of a fiscal invoice.
• Flag suspicious invoices for further review.
• Explore daily VMS metrics and trends, including views by province or area.
FRCS is urging businesses to maintain compliance and encouraging citizens to make use of the portal. “Transparency protects compliant taxpayers, informs smart enforcement, and builds public confidence that the system is fair,” Mr. Singh added.
