Fiji Taxation

Study options for Fiji Taxation

Members in Fiji may study AF439 ‘Advanced Taxation Contemporary Issues’, a local taxation subject offered by the University of the South Pacific and receive recognition of that study in the CPA Program.

CPA Australia and the University of the South Pacific have a long-standing relationship that ensures they are expertly placed to deliver this local taxation solution for members in Fiji.

The subject content will undergo regular review to ensure it meets CPA Australia's stringent expectations.

When to choose Fiji Taxation

If you have not satisfied CPA Australia's tax competency requirement, you are advised in My CPA Program to complete taxation study, (Australia Taxation) as a requirement to become a CPA.

However, if you're based in Fiji and intend to pursue a career in Fiji, it may be more appropriate to complete local taxation study with the University of the South Pacific.

1. Enrol with the University of the South Pacific by contacting the SAFE-PG office email:[email protected].
