Reviewer's notes: what is still open on this profile
- Business income and its shared basic-relief allocation require a separate assessment; ordinary gross property rent is separately taxed at 10%.
Each figure is the tax on one more unit of a very large amount of that income, with every layer the engine models: surtaxes and uncapped social contributions included. It is the top marginal rate, not the average rate you pay on all your income.
What is the top income tax rate in Myanmar?

Does Myanmar tax foreign income?

Does Myanmar have a wealth tax?

When do you become tax resident in Myanmar?
The Myanmar day test (183 days of residence in the financial income year for foreign individuals): Foreign individuals: at least 183 days residing there in the April-to-March income year; legal count needs confirmation. Confirm foreigner status and the legal number of days residing, including partial travel dates. A count below 183 does not prove nonresidence from an incomplete travel record. Myanmar citizens, tax treaties and certificate applications need separate review.
Residence decides whether Myanmar taxes you on these rates. See the Myanmar day-count test and count your own days.
