Business Support: Taxes Reduced and Certain Licenses Abolished

President Sadyr Japarov has signed a new law concerning changes in taxation and social insurance. This was reported by the Tax Service.

As it became known, the law was adopted to support both individuals and legal entities and is part of the implementation of the Decree issued on December 5, 2025, regarding measures to support the economy.

According to the new legislation, the following measures are proposed:

exemption from value-added tax for equipment and materials necessary in the jewelry industry;

cancellation of the vehicle sales tax until 2029;

write-off of tax debts arising from re-export;

reduction of the income tax rate to 1% for workers in the sewing and textile sectors, as well as a decrease in insurance contributions;

establishment of an insurance contribution rate at 6% for tenants;

elimination of licensing for the retail sale of alcoholic beverages.

In addition, the law introduces stricter liability measures for certain offenses. In particular, fines for illegal movement of goods across the border of the Eurasian Economic Union are increased, and in the case of repeated violations, confiscation is provided for.

The Tax Service emphasized that these measures are aimed at reducing the tax burden, stimulating business activity, and legalizing the economy.
