The Maldives Inland Revenue Authority (MIRA) collected MVR 2.2 billion in revenue during November, marking a 16.6 percent increase compared to the same month last year.  
According to MIRA, revenue last November stood at MVR 1.89 billion, while collections this year exceeded estimates by 6.7 percent.  
The increase was driven by higher receipts from tourism goods and services tax (TGST), green tax, airport taxes and fees, and rents from long-term agricultural islands. The rise in tourist arrivals in October also contributed to the growth.  
MIRA noted that green tax and airport departure fees doubled compared to November last year.

MVR 1.3 billion in GST (including TGST)  
MVR 191 million in green tax
