Over 200 participants representing a diverse range of finance and accounting firms from across the country were in attendance.

Cambodia has recently taken a giant stride forward in its series of new tax reforms with the introduction of Transfer Pricing regulations last month.

With transfer pricing regulations now firmly in place, all enterprises in Cambodia engaging in cross-border, or domestic trade, must now ensure that they correctly price and accurately record all their transactions with related parties.

As with most issues surrounding taxation – a balance often needs to be struck between achieving cost effective compliance and the imperative of preparing a robust defense in anticipation of future tax audits.

The breakfast seminar aimed to offer those less familiar with the subject a clear and concise overview of the new transfer pricing regime, and how it will apply in practice to you and your business.

Our tax and transfer pricing specialists first introduced the realm of transfer pricing and outline how the new regulations will affect your business in Cambodia. This included some case studies and insights gained from many years of practical experience with transfer pricing in Vietnam, China and Indonesia. We then discussed the steps that you must now take to ensure compliance with the new regime, especially in terms of future tax audits. Forewarned is forearmed!

This is an opportunity not to be missed by anyone doing business in Cambodia.
