Cambodia delays capital gains tax on real estate to 2027 while other asset taxes take effect in 2026.
Cambodia’s General Department of Taxation, part of the Ministry of Economy and Finance, issued Notification No. 041 on 2 January 2026, delaying the introduction of the capital gains tax (CGT) on sales or transfers of immovable property by one year,
It will now take effect from 1 January 2027.
The CGT will still apply to other asset types, including leases, investment properties, goodwill, intellectual property, and foreign currency, starting 1 January 2026.
The change follows a decision made by Prime Minister Hun Manet on 24 December 2025. The delay aims to give property owners and developers additional time, helping maintain the attractiveness of the real estate market for both domestic and international investors under current economic conditions.
