Mobile Device Registration Fees to Fund SCNS Special Account

Kyrgyzstan's government has expanded the list of funds that state agencies and budget-funded institutions can manage in special accounts under the Unified Treasury Account system. These amendments, made to a May 31, 2025, Cabinet Resolution, aim to streamline financial management for various government bodies.

Among the newly included funds are fees collected for registering mobile devices in the state communications equipment identification system. The State Committee for National Security (SCNS) has been designated as the recipient of these mobile registration fees. Additionally, the SCNS will also manage funds generated from paid services offered through the Unified External Migration Records System.

The Ministry of Transport and Communications and its affiliated agencies will see significant changes. Their special accounts can now receive payments for public road usage by vehicles carrying special or indivisible cargo, fees for weighing vehicles and measuring their dimensions, and compensation for road damage caused by heavy and oversized vehicles. Land lease payments within road right-of-way and roadside zones will also be included. These revenues will be categorized as income for the respective transport agencies.

Further amendments address water users, incorporating payments of at least 20 percent of revenue from agricultural products grown using water-saving irrigation systems. The resolution also permits the transfer of funds from subordinate institutions of the Ministry of Transport and Communications to the ministry's central office. The new regulations are set to take effect in 10 days.
