Do you know that registering a business is essential, particularly for creating a distinctive identity for the business?
On June 15, 2020, the Royal Government of Cambodia has officially launched the Online Business Registration Platform Phase 1 known as the Single Portal, which allows users to submit only one application for business registration at the Ministry of Commerce (MoC), tax registration at the General Department of Taxation (GDT) of the Ministry of Economy and Finance (MEF), the declaration of enterprise-establishment opening at the Ministry of Labour and Vocational Training (MLVT) and the recently-added registration of enterprises/establishments at the National Social Security Fund (NSSF).
Before the official launch of the Single Portal, some business owners have not completed their business registration process as the business is only registered at the Ministry of Commerce but have not been registered at the General Department of Taxation or vice versa. Now, new functions have been added to the Single Portal to allow for the completion of the registration for both types of companies/enterprises that registered at the Ministry of Commerce or the General Department of Taxation before June 15, 2020.
