Kyrgyzstan Exempts Textile, E-commerce Sellers from Single Tax Until End of 2026

Entrepreneurs in Kyrgyzstan engaged in clothing and textile production, as well as those selling goods via e-commerce platforms in EAEU member states, will benefit from a tax exemption. From August 1 to December 31, 2026, these businesses will be excused from paying the single tax and filing related reports.

The State Tax Service announced that only entrepreneurs and companies officially registered with Kyrgyz tax authorities are eligible. For sellers operating on e-commerce platforms, a crucial requirement is to provide confirmation from the platform that they are registered using their Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN).

It is important to note that this exemption specifically targets the single tax and its associated reporting. All other tax obligations continue to apply. This includes the mandatory calculation, withholding, and transfer of income tax and social security contributions for employees by employers. Organizations are also still required to pay state social security contributions as usual.

These legislative changes have been submitted to the Ministry of Economy and Commerce for further processing and implementation. The measure aims to support specific sectors of the economy by easing their tax burden during the specified period.
