๐Ÿ‡ซ๐Ÿ‡ฏ Fiji โ€” Municipal & Town Council Taxes

Fiji's municipalities (including Suva City Council) levy rates on property, trade licences, and local service fees. Fiji's economy relies on tourism (60%+ of GDP), sugar exports, and remittances. COVID-19 devastated Fiji's economy in 2020โ€“21. A new government elected in 2022 has implemented fiscal reforms including raising VAT. Fiji has one of the Pacific's most developed tax systems and is positioning itself as a climate-vulnerable small island developing state seeking climate finance.

๐Ÿ‡ฒ๐Ÿ‡พ Malaysia โ€” State & Local Authority Taxes

Malaysia's 13 states and 3 federal territories have limited independent taxing powers. States levy quit rent (cukai tanah) on land, assessment rates (cukai pintu/taksiran) on property through local councils, and royalties on natural resources. Petroleum royalties are a major state revenue in Sabah, Sarawak, and Terengganu. Local councils (majlis perbandaran) levy property assessment at 6%โ€“12% of estimated annual rental value. No state income taxes exist โ€” this is federal.
