Myanmar: MP proposes reduction of liquor tax
Excise taxes on foreign liquor should be reduced from the current level of 60 pc to balance between deterring illegal imports and boosting tax revenues, U Bo Bo Oo, Pyithu Hluttaw MP from Sanchaung township told Parliament last week.
“The special commodity tax should be reduced to prevent illegal trading and control the sale of fake brands in the market,” he said.
U Bo Bo Oo said that at the current level, taxes on liquor amount to more than K15000 per liter, which is prohibitively high and deters traders from officially importing foreign liquors. – Translated
