Maung
Daw, Arakan
Deputy
Head of the
Department
of Finance and Revenue Maung Daw, U
Khin Moe Lwin,
is collecting arbitrary tax from Rohingya Businessmen, fishery owners
and shop-owners.
The
Government
of Myanmar rules that 10% income tax should be paid by the
businessmen,
traders, shop-owners
and others. However, the deputy head is forcing Rohingyas to pay 12%
income tax which is against the rule of central government.
Moreover,
order from the central government of Myanmar only is only to collect
income tax for this year. Despite the income tax amnesty by the
central
goverment
for 2012 due
to the violence and economic instability, U Khin
Moe Lwin,
is forcibly collecting income tax from Rohingyas for both 2012 and
2013 on top of the 2% extra tax charge on 10% regular
income
tax.
Rohingya
fishery
owners have to pay Kyat 10,000 (Kyat 5,000 for 2012 and Kyat 5,000
for 2013) per acre
of
fishery. Some of Rohingyas who were forced to pay a hiked income tax
for two years are:
1-
Dr Kamal (from Quarter 2, Maung Daw)
2-
U Maung Nak (from Quarter 2, Maung Daw)
3-
U Shwe Maung (from Quarter 2, Maung Daw)
4-
U Yasein (Fayzi village, Maung Daw)
U
Khin Moe Lwin, the
deputy head,
does not issue any receipt after collecting tax for the year of 2012.

On
29th
September 2013, Hlun Htein (Security Force) stopped Laila daughter of
Dil Mohammed hails from the village of Feram Furu (Pyin Phyu) while
she was passing by the camp in the village. Then, the security force
snatched her purse and robbed the money (i.e. Kyat 150,000) in it.
Laila
is a mother of three children and her husband was forced out of the
country by the authority. Therefore,
she has been facing crises in her daily lives. So, she sold her land
to a villager to solve her crises temporarily. But on her way back,
all the money she got by selling her land was looted by the inhumane
and savage security force.
