Cambodia Tax Update : VAT Update – Refund Process Updated

Nishant Choudhary Recently Quoted in Myanmar Times
DFDL, July 2018
Nishant Choudhary, DFDL Myanmar Deputy Managing Director was recently quoted in a Myanmar Times article on reforms taking place in the retail and wholesale sector.

Our expert was responding to the question: If the ministry issues an amendment to limit foreign investments and/or JVs, how will this affect potential inward FDI?
