In 2025, taxes and insurance contributions collected amounted to 391.8 billion soms
The head of the State Tax Service, Almambet Shykmamatov, noted that compared to 2024, revenues increased by almost 90 billion soms, which corresponds to a growth of 129.6%. In particular, tax revenues rose by 80.2 billion soms, while insurance contributions increased by 9.3 billion.
According to Almambet Shykmamatov, 2024 was an important stage in transitioning to a new tax policy and rethinking the role of the state in the economy.
A transformation occurred from traditional fiscal administration, based on pressure and manual control, to more modern methods that include a service approach, digitalization, and trust.
At the meeting, the results of tax collection, revenues from excise duties on alcoholic products, and measures to combat the illegal turnover of excise goods were also discussed.
Participants of the board were presented with a new information system for tax analysis called "Salyk Kүzөt," aimed at improving tax administration and creating a more transparent economy, as well as reducing tax risks and the influence of the human factor.
Adylbek Kasymaliev positively assessed the work of the State Tax Service in the past year, emphasizing the successful implementation of plans, tax reforms, and the introduction of new digital services for automating processes and reducing administrative barriers.
According to him, the exceeding of planned indicators for tax collection in 2025 indicates an increase in the efficiency of tax administration and the exit of businesses from the shadow economy. He also emphasized the need to continue working in this direction using digital solutions.
The head of the Tax Service noted that such significant growth in state budget revenues was achieved without increasing tax rates, reflecting the conscious policy of the state.
In 2025, a large-scale program was also implemented to reduce the tax burden and expand tax benefits for key sectors of the economy.
Almambet Shykmamatov added that an important result of the reforms was the abandonment of excessive inspections and pressure on businesses, simplification of reporting, and the cancellation of a number of control measures.
Emphasis was placed on digitalization and tax reform, which allowed for a reduction in corruption risks, a decrease in the shadow turnover, and an increase in tax discipline. These changes contributed to the synchronous growth of the economy and tax revenues, confirming the effectiveness of the chosen course.
In conclusion, the chairman of the State Tax Service outlined the priority areas for 2026, including enhancing staff competencies, transitioning to risk-oriented analytics in tax administration, developing a service model, improving the efficiency of tax debt collection, and modernizing digital services.
The strategic goal is to consolidate reforms and create an open, technological, and professional tax service of a new type.
