We take pride in being a reputable and credible organisation that always complies with the governmental guidelines, rules, regulations in the area of tax assessment, labour laws and environmental rules.

Grand Royal Group International Co., Ltd (GRG) was listed as one of the top 5 biggest tax payers for 2018- 2019 assessment year. We recognize that the government of Myanmar needs to grow their tax revenue which is one of the country’s primary source of income and this in turn affects the economic growth of the country. The tax revenue collected will impact our peoples’ lives and the future of the country’s infrastructural development. The importance of giving back to society through the proper payment of taxes is a key foundation of our company’s creed.
GRG is also listed as
1. top 3 in Specific Goods Tax,
2. top 4 in Income Tax and
3. Top 5 in Commercial Tax segments as mentioned by the local government.

U Aung Moe Kyaw, Co-Chairman of Grand Royal Group stated “The payment of proper tax to the government is one of the most important part of corporate responsibility that we take very seriously. Moreover, I notice that some international beverages companies and most local alcohol companies were listed as top 10 SGT tax payers for this year. I believe that our Specific Goods Tax and their system are the most suitable and reliable and which is a key thing to attract future FDI/ investments. An example of attracting foreign investment can be seen by the success of companies like Grand Royal Group and Seagram which has attracted international companies like Thai Bev to invest here. Therefore, I believe that new foreign investment will happen very soon in our Myanmar market due to the attractiveness of our current Taxation system, which is in the correct direction.” The local industry players in Myanmar has over the year improved in their product deliveries to the point that we have received international recognition and praise. With this improvement the quality of local products are now on par with many international imports thus strengthening our product based in the international scene. Therefore, GRG wants to see a “Level Playing Field” for all investors under the same umbrella where all products are legal and properly taxed.
Specific Goods Tax has various tiering system and it mostly covers all kind of alcohol products which are manufactured and traded in Myanmar. When we combine all tiers in the Specific Goods Tax, the grey market will become widen their scope and outreach and it is unfair for the investors and local players in Myanmar. “The situation in the country is such that there is a large portion of the potential revenue being lost by various businesses that circumvent the current tax laws and create potential issues with poor quality products in the market. This “Grey-market” is not only a revenue loss for the government, but also a potential danger to unwary customers who purchase products that are counterfeit or illegally brought in without proper FDA clearance.” Said Mr Sanjay Gupta, CEO of GRG.
GRG has always maintained a high level of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) which we believe will contribute to sustainable development by delivering economic, social and environmental benefits to all stakeholders.
