Terms & Conditions for Retail / Wholesale Trading

Since 2013, Luther's team of more than 45 Myanmar and international lawyers, accountants and tax advisors has been advising local and international clients on all relevant legal, regulatory, compliance and tax aspects. Having established foreign-owned trading companies both within and outside of the Thilawa Special Economic Zone, Luther will give an update on the Ministry of Commerce's new Terms & Conditions for Retail / Wholesale Trading (Notification 25/2018 dated 9 May 2018).
