Fijian Government Offers Tax Incentives to Boost Sports Initiatives, Bids for 2031 Pacific Games and National Rugby League Membership

The government of Fiji is introducing substantial tax benefits to foster the growth of two vital sports ventures. Donations exceeding $10,000, aiming to assist Fiji’s bid to host the 2031 Pacific Games, will qualify for a 200% tax deduction. In the same vein, any contributions upwards of $250,000 towards supporting Fiji’s attempt to join the National Rugby League (NRL) will also be eligible for a 200% tax deduction. Additionally, if the NRL bid proves successful, the relevant organization will reap a 13-year tax break and duty waivers akin to those provided to the Fijian Drua.
