Background
On February 13, 2026, Senior Minister Sun Sokheng, Secretary of State of the Ministry of Public Works and Transport (MPWT), led a meeting to assess the progress of revising the inter-ministerial prakas on the collection of non-tax revenue from public services and penalties administered by MPWT. This amendment process involves the General Department of Waterway Transport, Maritime Transport, and Port Construction Services, ensuring regulatory alignment with Ministry of Economy and Finance standards under Prakas No. 145.
Scope of Application
The revision specifically targets the portfolio of non-tax revenue collection related to public services provided by the General Departments under MPWT, including waterways, maritime transport, and port construction. The adjustments apply to the frameworks governing service charges and penalties within these domains.
Key Provisions or Decisions
The meeting reviewed and discussed updates and additions to the public service fee schedules managed by the relevant General Departments. There was an emphasis on a detailed validation of each service item to ensure the draft schedules and penalty mechanisms are legally sound, justified, and conform to the technical format requirements of Prakas No. 145 issued by the Ministry of Economy and Finance.
Implications for Investors, Businesses, or Compliance
The finalized amendments will impact stakeholders who interact with MPWT’s public service fee structure, requiring compliance with updated non-tax revenue collection procedures. Streamlining and legal compliance in fee collection and penalty enforcement will provide clearer operational guidance for regulated entities and support government revenue administration.
