Cambodia-Singapore Double Tax Deal Effective

Singapore's tax agency has announced that the territory's new double tax avoidance agreement with Cambodia entered into force on December 29, 2017, capping cross-border withholding taxes on trade and investment.
Double tax agreements typically assign taxing rights to two territories to ensure that the same cross-border income is not subject to tax twice.
The agreement provides that withholding tax on interest from dividends, interest, royalties, and technical fees will generally be subject to a maximum tax rate of 10 percent in the payer's state.
The agreement was signed on May 20, 2016, in Singapore. Following its entry into force on December 29, 2017, the agreement became effective in both states from January 1, 2018.
