Personal Income Tax in Cambodia
Cambodian residents (taxpayers domiciled for at least 182 days per year in the Kingdom) are subject to a progressive tax rate up to 20% on their worldwide salary. Non-residents are subject to a 20% flat rate.
Additionally, a Fringe Benefit Tax (FBT) of 20% applies if any of the staff is receiving any fringe benefits or benefits that do not apply to the rest of the staff.
How does Personal Income Tax work in Cambodia?
Cambodia imposes PIT on both residents and non-residents. Residents are people who live in Cambodia for a period or periods which total more than 182 days per tax year. Non-residents are individuals who have stayed in Cambodia for less than 182 days in a tax year.
Residents are taxed on their worldwide salary income, which includes salary from both foreign and domestic sources. Non-residents are only taxed on income earned in Cambodia.
Taxable income in Cambodia is categorised into two groups, salary and fringe benefits.
Salary
Salary is all types of remuneration and benefits received by an employee.
This includes:
- Salary and wages
- Redundancy payments
- Bonuses
- Overtime

Fringe benefits
Fringe benefits are subject to tax on fringe benefits.
Fringe benefits include:
- Private use of motor vehicles
- Meals and accommodation
- Travel expenses
- Low-interest loans
