The substantial restructuring at the Fiji Revenue and Customs Service last year was done as a result of COVID-19 and due to some significant drop in revenue and the board and management at that time felt they needed to play their role in reducing its costs and expenses to the government.
The CEO of FRCS, Mark Dixon stated this while making submissions to the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Economic Affairs on their Annual Report for 2017 and 2018.
He says this restructure was not part of the planning in the 2017 and 2018 strategic work.
Dixon says his role going forward is to make sure they are fit for purpose.
He also reveals FRCS will not be able to compete with the private sector regarding salaries.
