The process for registering for a Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) with the Fiji Revenue and Customs Service (FRCS) involves several key steps. First, individuals or non-individual entities must sign up through the FRCS Taxpayer Online Service (TPOS) portal, where they provide necessary details such as the organization's name, a user ID, and contact information. Once the registration is complete, the applicant receives a confirmation email with a temporary password. They must log in within 7 days to change the temporary password to a secure one. After the first login, applicants can apply for a TIN by selecting the “Get a TIN” option on the portal and providing the required details specific to their entity type (e.g., individual, company, or trust). Once the application is submitted, FRCS reviews it, and if approved, the TIN is issued and sent via email. The process is free, and the typical processing time is 3-5 working days.
