  • Taxation Type
    Citizenship-based
A citizen of a country practicing CITIZENSHIP-BASED taxation generally pays taxes on their WORLDWIDE income, regardless of where they reside. The only way to get rid of a tax residency status in such a country is by renouncing citizenship.

Myanmar citizens who move abroad continue to be taxed on their worldwide income. In this case, foreign income is taxed at a reduced flat rate, while salaries are not taxed at all.
