Government to Increase Import Levies on Cigarettes, Beedies
The Mohamed Muizzu administration has decided to raise the import duty on cigarettes and beedies from MVR 3 to MVR 8 to discourage smoking. President Muizzu outlined several measures he would seek to implement, including raising the ad valorem rate by 50 percent, strengthening enforcement against smoking in public places and launching a large-scale anti-tobacco campaign; Attorney General Ahmed Usham said the related legal amendments would be submitted for parliamentary consideration this week.
