The General Department of Taxation (GDT) has urged all property owners in Phnom Penh to get their documents ready for the upcoming property tax registration and information update campaign which will start on 12 February.

According to the official letter issued by GDT, officers will go to the field to collect data, survey, take photos, and talk to the property owners about their property status. Officers will check whether the property has been registered or not. All data will be arranged and stored in the data management system of the GDT for future usage in taxation process.

Officers will also provide the necessary information and regulations related to the property taxation process to all owners and also facilitate them to register their property in case they have yet to register.

For those who have already registered their property with GDT, they have to prepare tax payment receipt and/or property tax payment card. However, for those who have yet to register they have to prepare National ID card or Birth Certificate, or Passport (for foreigner), Family Book, or Residential Letter.

For those who have never paid property tax before, the officers will analyse if the owners intentionally avoided paying or they did not get the information related to tax payment. Depending on the duration of non-payment, terms and conditions will be applied case by case as to whether there will be a punishment fee or not.

There is no specific period for this campaign mentioned in the letter. However, according to the GDT call centre, the officers will continue the campaign until all the properties in Phnom Penh have been registered.
