DownloadOverall Score
2020
Myanmar does not score well compared to the average score of countries in its region, income group, or the global average. Myanmar would benefit from making significant improvements to its cigarette tax system.
Component Score
2020
Myanmar scores in the mid-range in the tax share component, but scores poorly in cigarette price, affordability change, and tax structure. Myanmar would benefit from increasing cigarette prices, reducing cigarette affordability, increasing tax share of price, and improving tax structure.
Scores Over Time
Myanmar's overall scores decreased before increasing slightly from 2014 to 2020. In that time, the tax structure became less effective, while the tax share of price fluctuated.
