- MIRA has introduced a simplified four-step online GST registration process for overseas suppliers to the Maldives.
- The fully digital procedure includes email verification, business details submission, document upload, and final review before submission.
- The initiative is part of MIRA's #GulhigenMIRA campaign to boost compliance, accessibility, and modernize revenue administration.
The Maldives Inland Revenue Authority (MIRA) has highlighted a simplified four-step online registration procedure for foreign businesses operating as overseas suppliers to comply with Goods and Services Tax (GST) requirements.
In a public announcement shared via its official social media channels on Sunday, the tax authority outlined the digital process, which allows non-resident vendors to complete their tax registration entirely online without physical documentation.
The streamlined application framework requires businesses to complete four distinct stages:
- Email Verification: Applicants must verify their contact address through a One-Time Password (OTP) system to secure the initial account creation.
- Business Details Submission: Applicants must submit comprehensive data regarding their business enterprise and details of their supply operations within the Maldives.
- Document Upload: Applicants must upload necessary supporting documentation directly onto the tax portal.
- Final Review and Submission: Applicants must perform a final check of the supplied information before formally submitting the application for official processing.
The initiative falls under MIRA’s broader digital engagement campaign, #GulhigenMIRA, which aims to enhance compliance, improve accessibility, and modernize revenue administration for both domestic and international trading partners.
International businesses providing goods or services to the Maldivian market can access the portal via MIRA’s official online platform.
