Tourism Tax Lifts Maldives State Revenue to 19.1 Billion Rufiyaa in 2026
The Maldives Ministry of Finance reported that total revenue and grants reached 19.1 billion rufiyaa through 4 June 2026, a 10.1 percent rise over the same period in 2025, driven by the Tourism Goods and Services Tax. Expenditure totalled 19.2 billion rufiyaa, with subsidies nearly doubling due to higher global oil prices linked to the Middle East conflict.
