Fiji
Fiji has no structured e-invoicing exchange in the sources reviewed; instead, the Fiji Revenue and Customs Service (FRCS) requires covered businesses to issue a signed fiscal invoice for every sale through an accredited electronic fiscal device connected to its VAT Monitoring System (VMS).

Invoicing and electronic documents
VAT Monitoring System (VMS)
FRCS's electronic system under the Tax Administration (Electronic Fiscal Device) Regulations 2017. It authenticates each taxpayer's sales data controller, receives fiscal data for every transaction and lets taxpayers and customers check that an invoice was reported. It is a fiscal-receipt system, not a network for exchanging invoices between businesses, and it has no link to Peppol.

Electronic fiscal device (EFD)
One sales data controller (SDC) and at least one point-of-sale (POS) system. FRCS provides a Virtual SDC (V-SDC) that needs an internet connection; External SDCs (E-SDC) come from third-party vendors. Each POS and E-SDC must be accredited by FRCS, which publishes the accredited products.

Peppol
No Peppol Authority for Fiji is listed, and the FRCS sources reviewed don't mention Peppol. OpenPeppol acts as the authority where there is no national one.

Fiji's digital invoicing requirement is a fiscal-receipt regime. Each sale goes through an accredited POS and a sales data controller, which signs the fiscal invoice and reports it to FRCS. Business-to-business and business-to-government sales are included: the seller records the buyer's TIN on the fiscal invoice. Check which phase and gazetted date apply to the business, and use only POS and E-SDC products on FRCS's accredited list.
The sources reviewed describe no structured e-invoice exchange and no Peppol arrangement. A Peppol invoice sent to a Fijian buyer doesn't replace the fiscal invoice the seller's EFD must issue. The deadlines in the 2025 Gazette notice and the FRCS FAQ have changed before, so confirm them with FRCS.

No e-invoicing obligation found in the sources reviewedThe FRCS VMS pages, VAT Guide and EFD Regulations describe fiscal invoices issued at the point of sale and reported to FRCS. They set no requirement to exchange structured electronic invoices between businesses or with government.

Mandatory for specified groups of businessesA taxpayer must operate an EFD for each business and issue a fiscal invoice for every transaction, even if the customer refuses it. The SDC signs each invoice and transmits the fiscal data to FRCS. For business-to-business and business-to-government sales, the seller must ask for the customer's TIN and enter it in the POS, and the customer must provide it. Each group of businesses must comply by the date the Minister sets in the Gazette; missing it is an offence with fines scaled by turnover.

Prescribed by regulation 12Each fiscal invoice shows the receipt and transaction type, payment method, cashier, each item with unit price and quantity, the taxes and rates applied, the total, the business's name and TIN and premises, the customer's TIN if the customer is a taxpayer, the date and time, a sequential serial number, the EFD's digital certificate serial number and its digital signature. Training and pro-forma receipts must be marked "THIS IS NOT A FISCAL INVOICE".
