President Dr Mohamed Muizzu has nominated three candidates for consideration by the People’s Majlis to fill the vacant post of Deputy Commissioner General of Taxation at the Maldives Inland Revenue Authority (MIRA).
The nominees, all of whom currently hold senior positions at MIRA, are Ahmed Shafneez of Bageechaage, S. Hulhudhoo; Ahmed Mausoam of V. Miyares; and Mariyam Jaidha of Kandugasdhoshuge, K. Diffushi.
Under the Tax Administration Act, the Commissioner General and Deputy Commissioner General of Taxation are appointed by the President following an open application process and require approval from the People’s Majlis.
The President’s Office opened applications for the deputy commissioner post on 10 August, following the appointment of former Deputy Commissioner General Fathimath Ameeza as Commissioner General of Taxation on 19 July.
The three nominations have been referred to the Majlis Economic Affairs Committee for consideration.
The committee is expected to assess the nominees, including through interviews and scoring, before a final vote is held in the full chamber to determine whether to approve an appointment.
