The Kyrgyz government has approved tax exemptions for imported goods for the state institution "Kyrgyz Culture Service," which operates under the Ministry of Culture, Information, and Youth Policy. The decision, formalized by a decree signed by cabinet chairman Adylbek Kasymaliev, aims to ease the financial burden on the cultural service.

The institution has been added to the government's list of importers eligible for exemptions from value-added tax and sales tax on certain categories of goods. This move is an amendment to a previous government resolution, number 709, dated November 22, 2024.

The decree was signed on July 31, 2026, and is set to become effective ten days later. The measure is expected to facilitate the acquisition of necessary materials and resources for the "Kyrgyz Culture Service" to carry out its cultural and youth-related initiatives.
