Cambodia’s General Department of Taxation (GDT) and the EU have launched talks on a project to modernise tax administration.

GDT Director-General Kong Vibol and EU Ambassador Igor Driesmans co-chaired a meeting in Phnom Penh on the Cambodia–EU Taxation Twinning Project.

The project supports Cambodia’s Public Financial Management Reform Program, Phase IV, through technical cooperation and institutional capacity building.

GDT said the work will use peer-to-peer exchanges with EU administrations, including France’s public finance directorate and Finland’s Institute of Public Management.

Vibol said GDT is streamlining tax management through digital upgrades and staff development to improve accountability and service quality.
