The issue of mega stars paying tax dues for the cash strapped Fiji Inland Revenue and Customs Authority also known as F.I.R.C.A is claiming their pound of flesh in a dramatic fashion. Taking into account, all of UB40's success albums, they can easily buy out the entire Fiji Government in cash.

Prepare for the party of your life, UB40 tells fans
By AVINESH GOPAL
Members of the UB40 yesterday called on their fans to have a good time and party like they have never done before. The renowned British reggae group arrived in the country yesterday afternoon on a chartered Air New Zealand flight from Tonga. Nadi International Airport workers and some fans got the opportunity to see the group members in person before they were whisked away to Pacific harbor where they spent the night.
Lead vocalist Ali Campbell, dreadlock vocalist Astro Oswald and other group members were cheered as they walked out of the arrival concourse.
Mr Campbell said he was happy to be in Fiji and assured fans he would sing UB40's old hits "You should have a good time and party like you have never partied before", he said. The group's first concert will be at the FMF Dome in Suva tonight and the second in Lautoka on Sunday. Tickets for the concerts are selling fast. Preparations for the open air concert in Lautoka are well under worganizerssers said.
Empty containers have been put around the ground to prevent people from crashing their way into the venue. This happened during a Lucky Dube concert in Nadi where hundreds pushed down the fence and got into Prince Charles Park. Security for the concerts is expected to be tight.
