Comparison of Excise Tax in ASEAN Countries

 

Cambodia




Excise tax of the Kingdom of Cambodia is referred to as “specific tax,” which describes tax that is collected from goods and services, including those that are produced within the country and those that are imported from abroad. As tax is collected from alcohol, tobacco, automobiles and oil products, excise tax collection in the Kingdom of Cambodia is undertaken in a similar manner to that of Thailand. At the same time, however, tax is collected from goods, such as tires and parts and spare parts for automobile production, which are not subject to excise tax in Thailand.

Excise Tax Collection Agencies

There are two state agencies that have the authority to collect excise tax in the Kingdom of Cambodia, namely the General Department of Custom and Excise of Cambodia (GDCE), who has the authority to collect tax from imported goods, and the General Department of Taxation (GDT), who has the authority to collect tax from goods and services that are produced in the country only.
