The Maldives Inland Revenue Authority (MIRA) has named 25 taxpayers who each owe more than MVR 1 million in General Sector Goods and Services Tax (GST). Together, their unpaid taxes exceed MVR 25 million, although the list gives no individual balances.
The arrears relate to the fourth quarter of 2024 and taxable periods from December 2024 to the end of June 2026. MIRA published the list under its policy for disclosing the names of taxpayers who fail to file returns or pay their taxes.
In a statement on 10 November, MIRA said it had contacted all 25 taxpayers by phone before publishing their names. It informed them of the penalties for non-payment and the enforcement action they could face, and also notified them by SMS.
MIRA said it would continue to use measures under its enforcement policy to recover unpaid taxes. It urged taxpayers with outstanding returns to file them and those with unpaid balances to settle them promptly.
