INDIVIDUAL TAXATION

Residents are taxed on their worldwide income. An individual is considered a resident for tax purposes if he has stayed in the country for an aggregate of 182 days or more within a calendar year.

As a matter of practice, Cambodia´s tax administration can be divided into ´non-real regime´ taxpayers and ´real regime´ taxpayers (businesses) who are registered with the tax department and required to submit a monthly tax return.

However, most individuals are ´non-real regime´ taxpayers. Non-real regime taxpayers do not submit tax returns as there is no practical mechanism for their doing so (though tax on employment income is withheld by employers), and in practice do not pay income tax on rent.

INCOME TAX

Income earned by resident individuals is taxed at progressive rates. Taxable income is computed by deducting income-generating expenses from the gross income.
