Import duty = Customs duty x Import tax rate
Special tax = (customs duty + import tax) x Special tax rate
VAT = (customs duty + import tax) x 10% (for general goods not subject to special tax)

Example: Company A imports 20 cases of beer with a customs value of 4 million riels. What is the total amount of taxes and duties to be paid?
A: The import of beer is subject to import tax at the rate of 35%, special tax 25% and value added tax 10%. The calculation of taxes and duties is as follows:
Import tax = 4,000,000 x 35% = 1,400,000 Riels
Special tax = (4,000,000 + 1,400,000) x 25% = 1,350,000 Riel
Value Added Tax = (4,000,000 + 1,400,000 + 1,350,000) x 10% = 675,000 Riel
Therefore, the total amount of taxes and duties to be paid = 1,400,000 + 1,350,000 + 675,000 = 3,425,000 riels.
