SEOUL: A total of 60 staff of the Fiji Revenue and Customs Authority will get to hear of the Korean experience in dealing with taxation matters over the next two days.
This is thanks to a team from Korea who are in Fiji to conduct a two-day seminar to help FRCA officers become well versed with international taxation issues.
The OECD Korean Policy Centre is conducting the workshop in Suva and Fiji is the first country in the region to participate in it.
FRCA chief executive officer Jitoko Tikolevu encouraged participants to learn all they can from the specialists.
“Our economies and tax base may differ in sizes but our issues and the principles of taxation are the same. I urge all the FRCA participants to make use of this valuable opportunity that the Korean government has offered to us.” Tikolevu added that as a small developing nation Fiji relies on bigger nations such as Korea to build capacity.
