The Maldives Inland Revenue Authority (MIRA) collected USD 210 million in December 2025, according to official statistics.
This value is a 30.7 percent increase compared to the USD 160.8 million collected during the same period in 2024.
MIRA said the increase is attributed to higher revenue from tourism sector GST and Green Tax, increased resort rental income as well as a 12.8 percent increase in tourist arrivals.
The revenue was 17.4 percent higher than the estimated amount, mainly due to TGST and resort rentals. Revenue from land sales, land transfer fees, and corporate social responsibility fees also contributed to the increase, MIRA said.
