Phnom Penh (FN), Mar. 31 – Cambodian prime minister Hun Sen said he is satisfied with the tax revenue this year, speaking on Thursday.

"Yesterday (Mar 30) was considered as the happiest day of my life. It was the day that Cambodia breaks her own record in tax revenue, with the amount of USD 236 million in one day. Tax chief Kong Vibol told me that today’s revenue is estimated to be over USD 100 million. As a result, we received around USD 1.2 billion in the first quarter of 2022,” the premier underlined.

Premier Hun Sen said Cambodia has spent bounty to fight against COVID19. However, in 2022, the government receives higher revenue due to the reopening of socio-economic activities.

In 2021, the General Department of Taxation collected tax revenue of USD 2,781 million, equivalent to 124% of the annual plan.
