Assumptions

• · Model represents a resident national/foreigner on employment income, the most common scenario.

• · Standard deduction of 20% of income is applied, capped at MMK 10 million.

• · Social security contribution base is capped at MMK 9,000 per month (MMK 108,000 annually) for employees; the 2% employee rate applies to the lesser of gross salary or this cap.
• · Social security contributions are deductible from income before tax calculation.
• · Tax-free threshold of MMK 4.8 million applies; income below this is not taxed.
• · Capital gains tax (10%) and rental income tax (10%) are not modeled as they apply to non-employment income outside the scope of a salary comparison.
• · Charitable donations and life insurance deductions are optional and not modeled in the default case.
• · Non-resident foreigner status and non-resident national foreign income rules are excluded; resident employee model is used.
• · No subnational income taxes exist in Myanmar.
