BISHKEK, Kyrgyzstan, February 8. Kyrgyzstan
implemented a large-scale policy aimed at reducing the tax burden
and expanding tax incentives for priority sectors of the economy in
2025, Trend reports
via the State Tax Service of Kyrgyzstan.
This was announced by Chairman of the State Tax Service of
Kyrgyzstan Almambet Shykmamatov on February 6, 2026, during a board
meeting reviewing the agency’s results for 2025.
According to him, key areas of focus included agriculture and
processing, the IT industry, renewable energy sources, and the
garment and jewelry industries, as well as socially significant
sectors, including the development of sports.
Shykmamatov also highlighted that small and medium-sized
enterprises maintained the option to select the most appropriate
tax regime—general taxation, the unified tax, or the patent
system.
Simultaneously, he noted that this strategy enables business
owners to synchronize their tax responsibilities with the true
magnitude of their operations while also allowing the government to
establish a robust and growing tax foundation.
The chief of the service highlighted that tax rates in
Kyrgyzstan are positioned among the lowest in the post-Soviet
region, which serves as a tactical edge for the nation in drawing
investment and fostering human capital development.
