Fiji Tax Revenue
Tax revenue as % of GDP GC.TAX.TOTL.GD.ZS
Fiji's tax revenue was 17.37% in 2025, ranked 58th globally. This represents a 15.4% decrease from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 1990–2025.
Overview
Fiji's tax revenue stood at 17.37% in 2025, a decline of +3.17% from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 17.37% by 2025. Fiji ranked 58th globally.
Fiji’s tax revenue as a share of gross domestic product has been on a downward trajectory over the past three decades, falling from 22.76 percent in 1990 to a record low of 16.42 percent in 2021, before modestly rebounding to 17.37 percent in 2025, placing the nation 58th in the global ranking. The all‑time peak of 24.87 percent was recorded in 2015, a year that coincided with strong export growth and fiscal consolidation, while the trough in 2021 reflected the combined impact of pandemic‑related spending and a decline in commodity prices. Fiji’s current level is comparable to peers such as Latvia (17.24 percent) and Papua New Guinea (17.04 percent), suggesting similar fiscal capacity constraints in small island economies. Continued diversification of the tax base, coupled with reforms to broaden compliance, will be crucial if Fiji is to sustain the modest recovery and move the revenue share above the 2025 figure.
