The Consumption Tax Order 2013, Gazette 23 FN 2013, and the Minerva Special Management Area Order collectively outline Tonga’s fiscal and fisheries governance decisions made in 2013 and earlier, establishing tax exemptions and zero‑rated consumption tax for key fisheries‑related imports (such as fishing vessels, engines, gear, VMS units, aquaculture equipment, fuel, and observer tools), formally publishing these decisions through the Government Gazette, and designating the North and South Minerva Reefs (Teleki Tokelau and Teleki Tonga) as Special Management Areas reserved exclusively for Tongan local fishing vessels under controlled licensing for conservation, management, and sovereign resource protection.
