  • Kyrgyzstan's State Tax Service is simplifying tax administration by consolidating documents for certain goods.
  • Starting September 1, electronic waybills (ETTN) will be canceled for excisable goods, with information integrated into the new Electronic Invoice (ESF 2.0) system.
  • The ESF 2.0 system will initially operate in pilot mode for specific goods, including petroleum products and certain household appliances, before a full rollout.

Kyrgyzstan's State Tax Service is streamlining tax processes for businesses by introducing a unified digital document system. Beginning September 1, the mandatory electronic waybill (ETTN) will be abolished for businesses dealing with excisable goods, such as fuel, alcohol, and tobacco. All necessary transaction data will instead be captured within the new Electronic Invoice (ESF 2.0) system.

The State Tax Service continues to work on simplifying tax administration and improving digital services for business.

The ESF 2.0 system is set to launch in a pilot phase, initially covering oil and petroleum products, along with goods listed by the Eurasian Economic Commission, like refrigerators and washing machines. For tobacco, alcohol, and coal products, the system will also operate in a pilot mode. This consolidated approach aims to simplify compliance for entrepreneurs engaged in the trade of excisable goods.

The "Salyk Service" State Enterprise is currently refining the ESF 2.0 module and has invited business representatives to participate in its testing. This pilot project offers a direct channel for entrepreneurs to provide feedback and recommendations for improving the system before its official widespread implementation. The current ESF format remains mandatory until the new system is fully launched.

All necessary information will be reflected in the new ESF 2.0, which will become a single document for processing operations for entrepreneurs engaged in the trade of excisable goods.

Participation in the pilot phase allows businesses to influence the development of a digital system tailored to their needs. The State Tax Service emphasizes that proposals and observations from participants are being considered by developers for integration into the final version. Following the pilot, an official launch date for the updated system will be announced for all businesses, excluding those exempt from using invoices.

Entrepreneurs can directly influence the development of the new system during the pilot project phase.
