Unpaid Taxes Worth MVR 7.7 Billion Could Derail State Finances, Warns Finance Ministry

The Ministry of Finance warned that MVR 7.7 billion in unpaid taxes and resort land rent arrears as of June 2023 could force the state to take on additional debt if compliance keeps declining. About two-thirds of the outstanding amount is resort rents, and the ministry said bills are being drafted to amend the Tax Administration Act of 2010.
