The State Tax Service of the Kyrgyz Republic reports a significant reduction in the unified tax rate for entrepreneurs conducting their activities outside the country. According to the new rules, the tax rate has been lowered from 1% to 0.1%, which is a tenfold reduction.
These changes were made possible by the KR Law "On Amendments to Certain Legislative Acts of the Kyrgyz Republic in the Field of Taxation, Social Insurance, and Non-Tax Revenues," which came into effect on December 31, 2025. It is important to note that starting from January 1, 2026, entities that previously could use the general tax regime will now be required to pay only the unified tax.
To take advantage of the new preferential rate of 0.1%, entrepreneurs working abroad must submit the appropriate application to the tax authorities at their place of registration by February 1, 2026. Regardless of the submission date, taxation will be applied retroactively, starting from January 1 of the current year.
The measures taken aim to ensure more transparent and equal taxation conditions, as well as to significantly simplify the process of tax payment administration. The tax service emphasizes that such a sharp reduction in the tax burden should contribute to the development of international entrepreneurial activities and stimulate the export of services, which, in turn, will enhance the competitiveness of Kyrgyz businesses in international markets.
