[geovalin]

PM Hun Sen has said that he may order the destruction of around 5,000 duty-free vehicles that have refused to pay taxes ordered by the Royal Government. The PM made his statement whilst presiding over the closing ceremony of the 2021 work review meeting and the 2022 work direction of the Ministry of Interior on February 23, 2022 at the Sokha Hotel, Phnom Penh.

 

The PM stated that the Ministry of Economy and Finance estimates that are still more than 5,000 duty-free vehicles that have not been taxed. The PM warned, ‘Those who have not yet paid the tax, about 5,000 more cars, please come out to pay the tax, be careful, [because] one day I [might] order to burn the car, not too difficult. I call on those who have not yet paid their taxes to come out and pay their taxes.’

 

The General Department of Customs and Excise of Cambodia started to collect tax on duty-free vehicles from September 9, 2021, providing a 10% tax discount for vehicle owners who came to pay tax by the deadline of December 31. 2021. As the deadline has passed, car owners can still come to pay the tax, but they must pay 100%.
