Questions
- What tax rate do I put on an invoice in Maldives?
- The standard rate is 8%, but whether it applies to your sale depends on what you sell, who you sell to and whether you are registered. The invoice tool starts at 8% and lets you change it.
- Are there reduced rates or exemptions in Maldives?
- Many countries have lower rates or exemptions for some goods and services, and thresholds below which a business does not have to charge the tax. This page gives the standard rate only. Check the source above or ask the local tax authority.
