The Inland Revenue Division (IRD) is a division within the Ministry of Finance and Treasury, first established in 1965. Our mandate is to administer tax legislation and collect revenue on behalf of the Solomon Islands Government, ensuring that individuals and businesses pay their fair share of taxes under the law. The revenue we collect is used to fund essential public services that help improve the lives of Solomon Islanders—like healthcare, education, law and order, and infrastructure. We also oversee the registration and licensing of motor vehicles in accordance with the Road Transportation Act and Regulations.

IRD is led by a Commissioner and supported by an executive team—represented by two Deputy Commissioners, four Assistant Deputy Commissioners, and a Senior Legal Advisor.

IRD's full establishment is 230 positions, with 130 employees currently in place. Staffing levels are expected to grow progressively to reach full capacity by 2027. While most of our staff are based in the Head Office in Honiara, we also have employees at two satellite offices in Gizo and Auki, with plans to open a third office in Noro. Having staff in both our Head Office and our satellite offices enables us to extend our services to where they are needed most, increasing convenience for you, the taxpayer.
