In 2014, the Myanmar parliament first started announcing tax rate changes through the Union Tax Law 2014 and with promises to do the same on an annual basis, similar to other more established jurisdictions. They have followed through in 2015 and published the Union Tax Law 2015 on 6 April 2015 which is effective from 1 April 2015, at the start of the new fiscal year.

We are glad to highlight some of the key changes which we think will be of interest to potential foreign investors as well as Myanmar businesses.
