Fiji Times Saturday 19 August 2017 FIVE traders have been charged and are expected to appear in court for non-compliance with tax and Customs laws.
Fiji Revenue and Customs Service (FRCS) chief executive officer Visvanath Das said these traders were part of the 20 traders that were investigated by FRCS.

“A similar exercise is underway in the Western and Northern divisions.” Read more…
