Government to reverse 17 percent TGST on foreign tour operators
The Maldives government will reverse amendments to the GST Act that required foreign tour operators to pay a 17 percent Tourism Goods and Services Tax, restoring the previous arrangement. Minister of Tourism and Civil Aviation Mohamed Ameen said Parliament was expected to pass the bill within one to two weeks, while MIRA would retain authority to determine fair market prices.

Playing the Chagos card out of pure desperation
An opinion column argues that the Muizzu administration has dropped its earlier, loudly-made campaign promises to reclaim the Chagos waters and bring those responsible for the original handover to justice. It says the president publicly reversed his stance on the state television programme Nation Chat on PSM, and that a presidential commission has now been created to punish individuals over the original sea transaction.

Penal Code amendments withdrawn
A government-sponsored bill amending the Penal Code to criminalize genocide and treason, submitted by South Maafannu MP Abdulla Rifau, has been withdrawn from parliament after appearing on and being removed from the agenda for sittings over two days. Attorney General Ahmed Usham said the amendment was proposed because criminalizing such acts is mandated by the Genocide Convention, which the Maldives signed 42 years ago, and that the failure to legislate weakens the country's legal arguments in International Court of Justice intervention cases.
