On June 8, 2008 most of villagers from Mai Maw in Man Tong Township, Shan State who cultivate the rice named Tan Yoie has been forced to pay tax for their cattle farm as a result of give support to the people who suffer from the Cyclone Nargit and Myit Aung was ordered by USDA’s leader to take responsibility in order to ask for the money from the villagers 26000 Kyat for one acre.

According to the tax of the cattle farm, there are about 130 acres of land in Mai Maw village and all of those farms are already owned by the villagers. But in this year, when regulate has come out for the cattle farm who cultivate the kind of Tan Yoie rice all of villagers are so hard to believe why they have to pay for it because they had never been paid that tax before.

One of the villager said, there are no logical reason on their tax that they have to pay tax 26000 Kyat for each acre. Most of farmers don’t agree to pay that tax and we also don’t money to pay for it. The authority said that the tax money must be full getting at the end of June because the money from those cattle farm have to be transferred to the people who has suffered from the place of Cyclone Nargit. Therefore, if the money is not full yet within this June we will be punished to pay double of tax.   

As the result of the order to pay tax 26000 Kyat for each acre of the Tan Yoie rice cultivation the authority will acquire about 109,000,0 Kyat from the farmers in the village of Mai Maw for the people who suffer from the Cyclone Nargiet.
