Minimum retail prices for tobacco products have changed since August 1, 2026
The Department of State Revenue for Kostanay region reports that starting from August 1, 2026, new minimum retail prices for certain types of tobacco products have been established in Kazakhstan.
The minimum cost of 20 cigarettes with or without a filter, cigarettes, cigarillos, as well as products with heated tobacco is 1,060 tenge. The specified price will be valid until December 31, 2026 inclusive.
Previously, from January 1 to July 31, 2026, the minimum retail price was 970 tenge.
The next increase is planned from January 1, 2027. Starting from the specified date, the minimum retail price for the listed tobacco products will be 1,120 tenge per 20 pieces.
The State Revenue Department draws the attention of business entities engaged in the sale of tobacco products to the need to comply with the established minimum retail prices.
The increase in minimum prices is part of the state tax and pricing policy in the sphere of tobacco turnover. The measure is aimed at reducing the consumption of tobacco products, increasing budget revenues and reducing the share of shadow turnover.
