Pursuant to the Sixth Amendment to the Maldives Tourism Act, tourist resorts, tourist hotels and tourist vessels are required to collect Green Tax at the rate of US$ 6 per day per person from tourists staying at the establishment from 1 November 2015 onwards.

The policies and procedures related to the imposition of Green Tax are set out in the Green Tax Regulation, which is available on our website.

Therefore, you are required to collect Green Tax from tourists from 1 November 2015 onwards and remit the tax to MIRA in accordance with the Maldives Tourism Act and the Green Tax Regulation.

Green Tax awareness sessions are now being conducted by MIRA. You may register for a session through our website (http://www.mira.gov.mv/Training.aspx), or request us to visit your establishment to deliver information sessions.
