FRCS Officially Opens New Ba Office, Marking a Milestone in Service Excellence

The Fiji Revenue and Customs Service (FRCS) was honoured to have the Minister for Finance, Commerce and Business Development, Hon. Esrom Immanuel, formally open its new Ba office located at FIFA Building, Level 1 (above Bank of South Pacific), Lot 1 & 2 Ganga Singh Street, Ba.

Hon. Immanuel described the opening as a significant milestone that underscores FRCS’s ongoing commitment to service excellence and national development.

“This evening’s opening is more than a physical upgrade. It represents the remarkable progress that FRCS has achieved in recent years. FRCS continues to modernise its systems, strengthen leadership capability, and enhance compliance frameworks, all with the goal of serving taxpayers more efficiently and fairly. These improvements reflect FRCS’s vision of becoming a transparent, responsive, and performance driven organisation,” the Hon. Minister stated.

He further highlighted that FRCS’s progress is also demonstrated on the global stage through Fiji’s recent removal from the European Union list of non-cooperative jurisdictions for tax purposes (EU Blacklist). This achievement followed extensive reforms led by FRCS in tax transparency, governance, and international compliance.

“I wish to acknowledge and thank the Fiji Revenue and Customs Service for the considerable work undertaken to reach this milestone. It required sustained technical expertise, discipline, and commitment over the past three years. This achievement is a strong endorsement of the organisation’s professionalism and integrity, and it reinforces global confidence in Fiji’s tax system. It shows that FRCS is not only enhancing service delivery at the community level, as seen here in Ba today, but also meeting the highest international standards,” he added.

FRCS Board Director, Mr. Jitoko Tikolevu, reaffirmed FRCS’s commitment to being a customer centric and service driven organisation, noting that this principle lies at the core of every strategic initiative.

Mr. Tikolevu emphasised that the new Ba office represents an investment in FRCS customers, staff, and the nation, reflecting the organisation’s dedication to delivering efficient, transparent, and high quality services to the people of Fiji.

FRCS Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Udit Singh, expressed gratitude to stakeholders, the business community, and the people of Ba and surrounding areas for their trust and continued partnership.

“The new Ba office is here to serve you better and to support economic growth and development within the region. This opening is not just about a new facility. It reflects teamwork, partnership, and a shared commitment to strengthening service to our nation,” he said.
