In January 2021, the Ministry of Economy and Finance issued Prakas No. 010 on “the Local Manufacturers Obligation to place devices for measuring the volume of beer and non-alcoholic drinks”.
According to DFDL, "The purpose of Prakas 010 is to establish rules and procedures for managing the use of devices which measure the volume of beer, and/or non-alcoholic beverages that are produced locally. The rules and procedures concerning the devices on which beer and non-alcoholic beverages are measured are designed to strengthen the transparency and effective collection of tax revenues – in particular specific tax."
As a result, the producers in Cambodia need to install a volume measuring device, consisting of a volume measuring meter and liquid analyzer and field control box, at their factories in compliance with the installation technical standards as set out by the GDT.
This only applies to:
- Taxpayers who operate factories that produce beer and/or non-alcoholic beverages in Cambodia (“Producers”) and,
- Fall under the management of the Large Taxpayer Department of the General Department of Taxation (“GDT”).
