🚨TAX ALERT: Major Adjustments to Customs Duties & Petroleum VAT in Cambodia
The Royal Government of Cambodia has introduced sweeping tax and tariff relief measures to mitigate rising global fuel costs and support local enterprises.
Key statutory highlights from our latest legal breakdown include:
⚡️Green Energy & Storage: Customs import duty has been officially dropped to 0% for solar panels, EV charging hardware, solar inverters/controllers (9 tariff lines), and deep-cycle batteries.
⛽️Petroleum VAT Relief: Domestic supplies of regular gasoline and diesel are now subject to a reduced 4% VAT rate (down from standard 10%).
🏛 State-Borne VAT: The State will absorb the VAT burden for petroleum and LPG. Businesses must stop charging consumers VAT, and Tax Invoices must strictly carry the statutory stamp: “VAT is the State's Burden.”
📦 Import Duty Reductions: Substantial duty drops (down to 7% or 0%) on imported computers, laboratory hardware, live poultry, and specific commercial goods.
⚠️ Urgent Compliance Note for Businesses: Ensure your accounting software, POS systems, and corporate invoicing templates are updated immediately to reflect these new schedules and avoid customs processing delays!
