INDIVIDUAL TAXATION

Nonresident individuals are taxed only on their Cambodian-sourced income.

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.
