A Collection Centre of Maldives Inland Revenue Authority (MIRA) has been opened at Manadhoo in Noonu Atoll during a special ceremony held yesterday evening at the island. It was inaugurated by President of Noonu Atoll Council, Mr. Ali Zarif.
MIRA has stated that all the services provided in the Authority’s Male’ Branch will be offered to taxpayers at the Manadhoo Collection Centre including business registration with the Authority, collection of all types of taxes and other monies payable to the Authority and acceptance of financial statements. Apart from this, the staff at the Collection Centre will always be available to guide persons inquiring regarding tax related matters.
The establishment of this Collection Centre will not only benefit the residents of Manadhoo but also all other residents of the atoll marking this as a step-forward for MIRA in reaching their goal of providing ease of access to their services specifically in the islands. In this regard, Maldives Inland Revenue Authority operates 17 offices in 16 atolls, presently.
Monthly Revenue Collection by the Authority for the period of September 2020 was published just yesterday, recording a decrement of -30.9% in comparison to the period of September 2019; owing to the economic impacts of the coronavirus outbreak in the Maldives. MIRA collected a total of MVR 843.04 million as revenue for this period.
