Message from the Chief Executive Officer

mWelcome to the official website of the Ministry of Revenue and Customs.

Our Ministry is committed to administering Tonga’s tax and customs laws with fairness, integrity and professionalism. Protecting government revenue while delivering efficient services to the public remains at the heart of our mandate.

We are currently advancing a comprehensive digital transformation programme to modernize our operations. This includes the strengthening of the Electronic Sales Register System (ESRS) and significant ICT infrastructure upgrades to enhance system reliability, security and efficiency.

These initiatives are designed to improve voluntary compliance, streamline processes, strengthen risk management and provide better services to taxpayers and traders.

We recognize that transformation requires collaboration. We therefore value the continued partnership of our stakeholders and the commitment of our staff as we implement reforms that will shape a more transparent and technologically advanced revenue administration.

We remain dedicated to serving Tonga with excellence and integrity.

 

Mr. Michael Cokanasiga

Chief Executive Officer
