The Finance and Revenue Ministry
expects to collect over kyats 2,000 billion in tax revenue for this
2012-2013 fiscal year, kyats 500 billion more than pervious year.
"It doesn’t mean that tax payers are
trying to evade taxes anymore. It happens because tax system has been
changed and new system is flexible," an official form the Internal
Revenue Department said and noted that mind set of staff at the
department has also changed.
The department has collected average of kyats 180 billion of tax annually in the past six years.
Last year, the department published
country's top 100 commercial taxpayer's book that effectively makes some
giant companies not to evade taxes and pay more for this year, the
official said.
“Several giant firms avoided tax by
tripping the investment law or tax relief. For sure, they run businesses
illegally as long as they don't get caught,” said a retired tax
official.
Billions of tax revenue will be
collected in the future if the tax payers are willing pay the taxes
without filing loss or dodging taxes for the country to rebuild new
economy.
