Tin Sokhavuth



Following the announcement on Sunday, made by The Cambodia Daily newspaper to close its business due to the fact that they are unable to pay the debt of more than $6 million as tax duty to the Cambodian government, Kung Vibol, Director of the General Department of Taxation, in the same day, said that in any case, the newspaper must pay tax, and the person who is in charge of the newspaper won't be allowed to get out of Cambodia.

"If he/she is unable to pay the debt as tax duty to our government, all the newspaper's assets will be confiscated according to the Cambodian Law on Taxation," said Mr. Vibol.

According to Mr. Vibol, since more than ten years, the Cambodia Daily does not have any intention to pay tax at all. As a result, the newspaper owes more than $6 million to the Cambodian government.
