Taxing authority and tax law<br />

Taxing authority: General Department of Taxation (GDT).<br />

Relevant regulations and rulings<br />

Article 18 of the Cambodia Law on Taxation (LOT), Allocation of income and deductions among taxpayers: In the case of two or more<br />

enterprises, whether incorporated or organized, in or outside of the Kingdom of Cambodia may distribute gross income, deductions,<br />

or other benefits among such enterprises and their owners in order to prevent the avoidance or evasion of taxes or to clearly reflect the<br />

income of such enterprises, or their owners.<br />

For the purpose of this Article, two or more enterprises are under common ownership, if a person owns 20% or more in value or equity<br />

interests of each enterprise.<br />

Cambodia has not concluded any double tax agreements as of January <strong>2014</strong>.<br />

Audit risk/<strong>transfer</strong> <strong>pricing</strong> scrutiny<br />

There is no specific <strong>transfer</strong> <strong>pricing</strong> rule in Cambodia. Under the LOT, the tax regulations provide the tax authority with wide powers to<br />

reallocate income and expenditure between taxpayers having 20% or more common ownership. Transactions between related parties<br />

may be subject to redetermination by the Cambodian tax authority for the purpose of preventing tax avoidance. Therefore, in order to<br />

avoid the tax risk, companies should ensure that all related party transactions are conducted within the arm’s length principle.<br />
