Xinhua, Yangon :
Myanmar Arts and Crafts Association (MACA) has urged the government to set up a handicrafts center or build a handicrafts village to boost the country’s handicrafts market to be able to penetrate the European and U.S. markets, the official Global New Light of Myanmar reported Monday.
At a recent meeting between Vice President U Myint Swe and businessmen, MACA also called on the government to lift or waive tax imposed on small-scale businessmen as the handicrafts market has been cooling with the burden of taxation rising.
MACA requested the government to grant a temporary tax exemption or tax waiver before the market recovers.
