Fiji Transfer Pricing Documentation Requirements
Fiji requires transfer pricing documentation supporting related-party pricing, produced within 14 days of a request. A fixed penalty of FJD 100,000 applies where documentation is not available when the tax authority requests it, and local benchmarking is accepted.

Scope of the documentation obligation
A taxpayer with related-party transactions must hold transfer pricing documentation, prepared by the due date for lodgment and produced within 14 days of a request. There is no separate transfer pricing return to file in Fiji, and the documentation is not lodged with the return but must be available when requested. There is no Country-by-Country reporting obligation in the regime as captured.
Distinctive features of the Fijian regime
The defining feature of the Fijian regime is the fixed FJD 100,000 penalty for not having documentation, which is typically triggered where the documentation is not provided or available when the tax authority requests it, so the consequence attaches to the absence of documentation rather than to the outcome of an adjustment. Rather than formal safe harbours, the rules provide acceptable ranges to the revenue service. Local benchmarking is available, which is relatively unusual for a small economy where local data is often scarce.
Benchmarking and comparables
Local benchmarking can be used for benchmarking requirements in Fiji. Multi-year analysis, in practice over five years, is common. There is no need to conduct a fresh benchmarking search every year, and financial updates are acceptable. There is no statute of limitations specific to transfer pricing; the general rules apply, allowing amendment at any time in cases of fraud, wilful neglect, or serious omission, and otherwise within the standard period.
