Challenges in Resource Mobilization

Tax Revenue are stagnant in percentage of GDP Inadequate taxpayer services State Owned Economic Organizations Revenue are declining. Some ministries are underspending Need to educate oversighting agencies to reform consequences for

sound administration low levels of staff capability Weak of coordination and standardization of data interchange

across various government systems Insufficient resources for reform activities Balancing between higher need of resources for MSDP and Debt

Sustainability

Options for Improving Resources Mobilization• Expend tax base 

• Rationalize Tax Incentives –estimate costs, consolidate in one legislation, move to cost based and target by sector  Consolidated list of incentives not available now. Legislative and administrative change needed toconsolidate provision of incentives and ensure role of Revenue Forecasting Team  in estimating costs. Rationalizing tax incentives could help to increase Myanmar’s CIT tax productivity 

• Enhance compliance focus – by focusing on  risk based audits. The audits and  compliance is focus on tax return filings at offices that are not currently under self ‐ assessment.

But More budget needed for enhanced compliance and audit capacity  is a critical constraint.    

The revenue gains from this change are also difficult to quantify. 

• Reduce Tax exemptions  ‐ It may require legislative changes (Tax law need to amend)Reducing exemptions of commercial tax and specific good tax will improve tax productivity.

• Furthermore tax payment system need to be able to use electronic system such as mobile payment system.

• Tax administration need to be more effective.

• Other revenue also need to identify whether it is tax or non tax. Because it is more easy to manage tax revenue then non taxrevenue.

• SEEs need to review and increased transparency and discussion on the sources and uses of these funds would enhance effective management.

• Set up Medium term Strategic Planning 

• Set up framework for Monitoring and Evaluation System

Future Plan for effective Resource Mobilization

• Tax  Administration and Procedures  Law ( by 1 April 2019) 

• Amendment of  Income Tax Law 

• VAT (Post 2021)

• System of Self‐Assessment Outcome by 2022

• Risk based compliance improvement strategies for improving filing, payment, reporting etc. 

• Enhance and develop to cover all taxpayers and all tax types

• Streamlined processes and procedures

• New processes using by technology 

• Enhance capacity for expenditure forecasting and planning at line ministries; 

• Establishment of  Projects Bank

• Enhance automation of manual data management processes (starting with budget submission and then monitoring and evaluation)
