SEMINAR INVITATION:

LEASING PROPERTY IN MYANMAR

As many organisations seem to be renting office space and warehouses now in Mandalay and other earthquake-affected areas, and we are often also contacted to deal with issues concerning the lease of factories and land, we would like to share our insights and cordially invite our readers and anybody else to attend our upcoming seminar on leasing property in Myanmar.

Proposed agenda:

∎ Important clauses in lease agreements

∎ Lease agreements submitted to the Myanmar Investment Commission and their subsequent amendments

∎ Restrictions on foreigners renting immovable property

∎ The Urban Rent Control Act 1960

∎ Zoning and land use restrictions; heritage buildings

∎ Commercial tax (important!), income tax of the landlord, municipal property tax

∎ Providing for deductions from the salary in labour contracts and employment manuals

∎ Stamp duty, and what may happen at most if it is not paid

∎ Registration of lease agreements, and what may happen if a lease agreement is not registered

∎ Long Q&A session

Date and time: Thursday, 12th June 2025, 2:30pm – 4:00pm
