Clint O’Connell (Partner, Cambodia Deputy Managing Director and Head of Cambodia Tax Practice), Vajiravann Chamnan (Tax Director), and Faosiyas Loh (Deputy Tax Manager) discuss the practical implementation issues for self-assessment taxpayers arising from the VAT E-Commerce regulations which took effect from 1 April 2022.
In 2021 we saw a number of regulations passed in Cambodia with respect to VAT and E-Commerce transactions involving non-resident e-commerce providers. These regulations impact not only non-resident e-commerce providers but also those self-assessment taxpayers in Cambodia who transact with them. The VAT e-commerce regime came into effect from 1 April 2022, which means that for a number of self-assessment taxpayers in Cambodia their compliance obligations will start from the 25th of May 2022 (which is the e-filing due date for declarations and payments for transactions that occurred in April).
In this video, our experts go through the main points of the VAT e-commerce regulations that impact self-assessment taxpayers in Cambodia.
Topics covered:
- What is an e-commerce product, service or activity?
- What is the VAT reverse charge and how does it work?
- How do I declare and pay VAT under the reverse charge mechanism
- What is the difference between a B2B and B2C transaction?
- If I pay VAT is WHT still applicable?
- What are the penalties for non-compliance?
- Exemptions (small taxpayers and non-taxable supplies)
- E-Commerce VAT Overview by Clint O’Connell (25 minutes)
