SMEs Compliance Pack and Tax Incentives | 5 September 2019 | Phnom Penh

DFDL Cambodia Hosts SMEs Compliance Pack and Tax Incentives Seminar

Last week, DFDL Cambodia organized a morning seminar for small and medium enterprises (“SMEs”) to discuss compliance issues and tax incentives in Cambodia.

Sokheng Say (DFDL Cambodia Partner and Head of the Regional Accounting and Advisory Practice) opened proceedings by introducing the speakers and various topics: incentives, regulations and opportunities on offer to SMEs doing business in Cambodia.

      

Lem Chansamrach (Cambodian Investors Corporation Plc. Managing Director) began his presentation by discussing Cambodia’s opportunities for SMEs: the rapid development of the financial sector and an ever-increasing ‘banked’ and savvy populace, increasing monthly consumption, technological advancements, robust tourism growth, and greater development of the business community in Cambodia.

        

Sophorne Kheang (DFDL Cambodia Corporate & Commercial Practice Senior Consultant) outlined the key legal regulations that SMEs need to be compliant with and the critical business licenses that they must secure.

Borapyn Py (DFDL Cambodia Tax Country Director) laid out the tax and customs incentives available to SMEs. He then discussed the simplified accounting format for small taxpayers and important tax updates especially for VAT, transfer pricing and audits.

Following this, an overview on labor issues and recent developments in this space was provided by Chesda Teng (DFDL Cambodia Corporate & Commercial Practice Senior Consultant) which included: the key governing authorities and their filing requirements, minimum wage rules, seniority payments and foreign employee obligations.

     

The event concluded with a lively and engaging panel discussion and interactive Q&A session. The 140+ participants learned a great deal about the prospects for SME activities in Cambodia and gave very favorable feedback on this event.
