  • Assessment of Greater Mekong Subregion Economic Corridors
    About the Assessment of Greater Mekong Subregion Economic Corridors The transformation of transport corridors into economic corridors has been at the center of the Greater Mekong Subregion (GMS) Economic Cooperation Program since 1998. The Asian Development Bank (ADB) conducted this Assessment to guide future investments and provide benchmarks for improving the GMS economic corridors. This Assessment reviews the state of the GMS economic corridors, focusing on transport infrastructure, particularly road transport, cross-border transport and trade, and economic potential. This assessment consists of six country reports and an integrative report initially presented in June 2018 at the GMS Subregional Transport Forum. About the Greater Mekong Subregion Economic Cooperation Program The GMS consists of Cambodia, the Lao People’s Democratic Republic, Myanmar, the People’s Republic of China (specifically Yunnan Province and Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region), Thailand, and Viet Nam. In 1992, with assistance from the Asian Development Bank and building on their shared histories and cultures, the six countries of the GMS launched the GMS Program, a program of subregional economic cooperation. The program’s nine priority sectors are agriculture, energy, environment, human resource development, investment, telecommunications, tourism, transport infrastructure, and transport and trade facilitation. About the Asian Development Bank ADB is committed to achieving a prosperous, inclusive, resilient, and sustainable Asia and the Pacific, while sustaining

  • Tax & Legal Services Newsletter
    Tax & Legal Services Newsletter Vol. September 2014 ๖ Proposal for 10-Year Corporate Income Tax Exemption for Special Economic Zones The Ministry of Finance is considering the granting of incentives in the form of a tax exemption to five special economic zones established by the National Council for Peace and Order. The affected zones are the Mae Sot district in Tak province, the Aranyaprathet district in Sa Kaeo province, the Khlong Yai district in Trat province, Mukdahan province and the Sadao district in Songkhla province. The incentives would be granted more favorable treatment than incentives in Zone 3 currently granted by the Thailand Board of Investment (e.g. a 8-year exemption from corporate income tax with 50% reduction for another 3- 5 years) in order to promote investment in the above zones. Studies of Negative Income Tax The Fiscal Policy Office of the Ministry of Finance has released a study of negative income tax. According to a proposal in the study, the government would provide assistance to low income individuals, i.e. individuals who earn income below THB 30,000 would receive a payment from the government in an amount equal to 20% of their annual income. The payment would decrease as income rises and cease once income exceeds THB 80,000. If the initiative is approved, the government would use information provided in the personal income tax return to determine whether an individual qualifies for the payment. Revenue Department Rulings Specific Business Tax Treatment of Intercompany Guarantee Company A, a major shareholder of Company B, shares a board of directors with Company B.

Mohammad Shafi, a local commander, told the United Nations Integrated Regional Information Network (IRIN) that a small skirmish between fighters loyal to ethnic Uzbek warlord General Abdul Rashid Dostum and that of his Tajik rival, Atta Mohammad, took place on Saturday (April 10) in Kod-i-Barq town, some 12 miles (20 kilometers) from the northern city of Mazar-i-Sharif in Balkh province. Following the incident which left several people wounded, schools and other public institutions were reportedly closed in Kod-i-Barq. Lutfullah Mashal, spokesman for the Afghan Interior Ministry, told IRIN that the situation in the provincial capital Maimana (also spelled Maymana) of Faryab province, which was overrun by Dostum’s troops last Tuesday (April 6), was calm and that some 500 troops from the Afghan National Army (ANA) were in control of Maimana. Manoel de Almedia e Silva, spokesman for the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) told a press briefing yesterday that the situation in Maimana and Faryab in general was calm with no reports of further unrest since last Thursday (April 8).
