INDIVIDUAL TAXATION
INCOME TAX
Nonresident foreigners are taxed on their Fiji-sourced income. Married couples are assessed and taxed jointly. However, the wife can elect separate taxation with regard to her personal income (employment income, inheritance, own savings, and assets acquired from her own savings).
Rental Income
Rental income earned by nonresidents is taxed in Fiji. The taxable income is gross rent less income-generating expenses. Allowable deductions in calculation of taxable income are land rent (if any), local authority rates, property insurance, depreciation, repairs and maintenance. The depreciation rate for buildings is generally 1.25% per annum. The income tax rates for nonresidents are as follows:
INCOME TAX |

| 8,840 - 10,000 (US$6,367) | 25% on band over US$5,630 |
| 10,001 - 20,000 (US$12,738) | 30% on band over US$6,367 |

CORPORATE TAXATION
INCOME TAX
Nonresident companies earning income from renting out property are subject to a flat corporate tax rate of 31%. Income-generating expenses are all deductible in computing for the taxable income.
