Foreign teachers are proposed to be exempt from taxes and payments in Kyrgyzstan

A draft law initiated by Deputy Altynbek Kudayberdiev has been published on the website of the Jogorku Kenesh, which proposes to exempt foreign citizens working in schools and universities in Kyrgyzstan from taxes.

As part of this initiative, the deputy emphasizes the following measures:

exemption of foreign teachers' incomes from income tax;
cancellation of mandatory insurance contributions;
creation of legal conditions for obtaining a temporary residence permit;
exemption from VAT on the import of modern educational equipment;
provision of tax preferences to educational institutions, regardless of their ownership structure.

Kudayberdiev notes that foreign specialists typically work under short-term contracts and do not acquire pension rights in Kyrgyzstan, which makes mandatory contributions unnecessary. The proposed measures will help reduce administrative barriers and simplify the employment process for foreign teachers.
