ASHGABAT, Turkmenistan, January 1. The
convention between Turkmenistan and Japan on the avoidance of
double taxation entered into force on January 1, 2026,
Trend reports.
Under the convention, the rules governing income taxation will
apply to taxable years commencing on January 1, 2026, as well as to
taxes imposed outside a taxable-year framework from the same date.
Provisions regarding the exchange of tax information and assistance
in tax collection have been in effect since November 27, 2025.
The double taxation treaty is expected to enhance the investment
climate, lower fiscal barriers for businesses, and provide greater
legal certainty for companies operating between Turkmenistan and

and transportation.
