The Maldives Inland Revenue Authority (MIRA) was established in August 2010, to administer the modern tax system which was introduced to the Maldives in 2011. During the initial years, MIRA’s main focus was on the successful implementation of the newly introduced taxes, namely the Tourism Goods and Services Tax, Business Profit Tax, and the Goods and Services Tax. During this period MIRA has also managed to establish a credible organisation and lay down a strong organisational setup.
The first strategic plan of MIRA was published in 2015. It outlined the strategic priorities of MIRA between 2015 and 2019 under six programs. The first strategic plan period wrapped up with MIRA having successfully achieved the majority of the objectives highlighted in the plan. The second strategic plan of MIRA was published in 2020, with a revised version being published in 2022, as MIRA reprioritised it's strategic initiatives following the COVID-19 pandemic.
As MIRA approaches 15 years of service excellence, it launches its third strategic plan to drive continued growth and adaptability. It is only fitting that MIRA starts this journey towards such a milestone by significantly revamping MIRA's strategic goals for the next 4 years while also re-positioning the organization as a facilitator. The major highlight for the new strategic plan for the next 4 years is the use of Objectives and Key Results (OKR) in monitoring strategic objectives which improves performance, drives change, and creates better alignment through constant adaption, tracking and re-evaluation.
The inclusive approach used to collect team member views and insight contributed significantly towards the plan’s enhancement and sense of ownership towards the plan. With trust built into the plan and ensured accountability, this plan will guide MIRA’s transformation from being perceived as an “enforcer” to a “facilitator.” It will help actualize the spirit of “Gulhigen MIRA” and our core purpose: to help Maldivians enrich their lives by contributing to a fair and just tax system.
