Hamdhulla started his taxation career at the Department of Inland Revenue (DIR) in 2002 and later joined the Maldives Inland Revenue Authority (MIRA). During his time at DIR, Hamdhulla was mainly involved in auditing of commercial banks that were subject to the Bank Profit Tax – the only direct tax then imposed in the Maldives. Upon inception of the MIRA and the introduction of Business Profit Tax, Hamdhulla was transferred to the objections and appeals unit where he was responsible for reviewing audits and assessments issued by the MIRA auditors, following objections made by taxpayers.

Hamdhulla is a Fellow of the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA).
