Taxes in Kyrgyzstan
A simple system with a flat 10% personal income tax and moderate VAT. Here is who pays what in Kyrgyzstan.
Kyrgyzstan is one of the few countries with a flat personal income tax and a modest VAT rate. Below are the main rates and rules for individuals and companies.
Who is a tax resident
A person is a tax resident of Kyrgyzstan if they reside in the country for 183 days or more during any 12-month period ending in the tax year.
Kyrgyz citizens who are tax residents are taxed on their worldwide income. Non-resident citizens and foreign nationals are taxed only on income received from sources in Kyrgyzstan. If your home country has a double tax treaty with Kyrgyzstan, your residency status may qualify for additional protection under that treaty.
