President Dr Mohamed Muizzu has appointed two members to the Tax Appeal Tribunal in line with the Tax Administration Act.
Ibrahim Afeef has been appointed as a member of the Tribunal, while Shaufa Ibrahim has been appointed as the member representing the legal field. Both will serve for the remainder of the current term, which is set to expire on 28 November.
The appointments were made after Parliament’s review and approval. During the parliamentary debate, several Members of Parliament raised concerns about the timing of the appointments, noting that the current term of the Tribunal is nearing its end. Some MPs proposed amending the law to prevent such appointments if the Tribunal’s quorum can still be maintained.
According to existing regulations, when a position on the Tax Appeal Tribunal becomes vacant, a new member must be appointed within 60 days.
