 Effective January 1, 2026, the new Tax Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan (Law of the Republic of Kazakhstan No. 214-VIII dated July 18, 2025) entered into force, comprehensively reforming the country's tax system. The new legislation introduces significant changes across various areas of taxation, including the taxation of non-residents.           New Withholding Tax Rates on Non-Residents' Income. Beginning in 2026, new withholding tax rates apply to certain types of income derived by non-residents. In addition, a progressive personal income tax (PIT) scale has been introduced for specific categories of income.           Pursuant to Article 682 of the new Tax Code, dividends paid to an individual who directly or indirectly owns at least 25 percent of the capital of a resident legal entity are subject to the following tax rates: 5% on the portion of dividends not exceeding 230,000 Monthly Calculation Indices (MCI); 15% on the portion exceeding this threshold.          A 10% tax rate applies to: interest on loans and credits; income from debt securities; and winnings from gambling and betting activities.         Introduction of a Progressive Personal Income Tax ScaleUnder Articles 692 and 693 of the Tax Code, a progressive PIT scale has been introduced for: employment income of non-resident employees; and income of foreign citizens and stateless persons seconded by a non-resident legal entity that is not registered as a taxpayer in the Republic of Kazakhstan.         The applicable rates are: 10% on income up to 8,500 MCI; 15% on the portion exceeding 8,500 MCI.          Accordingly, the progressive tax rates apply exclusively to the employment income of the above categories of non-resident individuals. Income Taxed at Existing Rates Certain categories of non-resident income continue to be taxed under the existing rules.           Income received by non-resident individuals under civil law contracts (service agreements), as well as other non-employment income of non-residents, remains subject to a 20% withholding tax without the application of tax deductions.The following types of income continue to be taxed at 15%: dividends (except where the new progressive rules apply); capital gains; interest income; and royalties.  Abolition of Certain Dividend Tax Exemptions. Under the previous version of the Tax Code, Article 646 provided tax relief for dividend income where specific conditions were met, including the requirement that shares or participating interests had been held for more than three years. Effective January 1, 2026, these tax incentives have been abolished. Consequently, the preferential tax treatment previously available for qualifying dividend income is no longer applicable.New Taxation Rules for Non-Resident Labour ImmigrantsThe 2026 Tax Code also introduces significant changes to the taxation of income earned by non-resident labour immigrants.The taxable income of a non-resident labour immigrant consists of:a minimum taxable income equal to 40 Monthly Calculation Indices (MCI) for each month during which work is performed or services are rendered; andthe amount by which the income payable under the employment contract exceeds the minimum taxable income for the relevant period, where such excess exists.The taxable excess is calculated as follows:income received for work performed or services rendered during each month of the relevant period;less the minimum taxable income for the same period;less an additional deduction equal to 14 Monthly Calculation Indices (MCI) for each month during which work is performed or services are rendered.Payment of Personal Income Tax. Personal income tax calculated on the minimum taxable income must be paid before obtaining or extending the labour immigrant's permit, at the place of residence (stay) of the non-resident labour immigrant.Personal income tax calculated on the taxable excess must be paid no later than ten calendar days after the deadline for filing the Declaration of Income and Property for the relevant tax period.Filing of the Tax Return.

Today, Akim of the region Murat Ergeshbayev met with the Consul General of Hungary in the Republic of Kazakhstan, Szoke Szabolcs. The meeting discussed issues of further development of trade, economic, and investment cooperation.The Akim of the region noted that Kazakhstan and Hungary are united by historical and cultural ties and partnership relations based on mutual trust, and that regular meetings of the heads of state have given impetus to strengthening bilateral cooperation.–I thank you for the interest shown in our region. We are connected not only by official documents but also by common historical and cultural roots and traditions.Important steps are also being taken in the direction of investment cooperation. The company «UBM Group» is actively working in a number of regions of the country. The company is moving to the second stage of the project and plans to build two more feed mills. Since the issue of locating these two plants is currently being discussed, we propose building one of them in the Kyzylorda region. Because agriculture is the basis of the regional economy, – said the head of the region.It should be noted that more than 90 percent of rice and table salt production in the republic falls to the share of the Kyzylorda region. In recent years, livestock and poultry farming, as well as milk production, have been intensively developing, and the demand for compound feed has been steadily growing.Today, a large-scale project is being implemented with the participation of the company «Harvest Agro». This will allow producing 150 thousand tons of corn and 40 thousand tons of soybeans per year and will contribute to reducing the cost of compound feed production.More than 1.3 million head of livestock are registered in the region. And considering the potential of the neighboring Turkestan, Aktobe, and Ulytau regions, it exceeds 12 million.The geographically advantageous location of the region, developed transport and logistics infrastructure, the presence of a special economic zone and six industrial zones with established engineering infrastructure allow for the effective implementation of investment projects.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/kyzylorda/press/news/details/1258359?lang=ru
