Rates current for 2026

A new Tax Code has applied in Kazakhstan since 1 January 2026. The simplified declaration regime charges 4% of turnover (local authorities may lower or raise the rate by ±50%, so in practice 2–6% depending on the region), with an income limit of 600,000 MCI a year (≈KZT 2.6 billion at the 2026 MCI). The VAT threshold (KZT 43.25 million a year) does not apply to the simplified regime — those filing the simplified declaration are fully exempt from VAT regardless of turnover (imports of goods and services from non-residents aside).

Frequently asked questions

What are the limits for a sole proprietorship on the simplified regime in Kazakhstan in 2026?
A new Tax Code has applied in Kazakhstan since 1 January 2026, and the rules of the simplified regime have changed noticeably. The rate is now 4% of turnover (in some regions local authorities reduce it to 2–3%), and the annual income limit is 600,000 MCI, which is about KZT 2.6 billion a year. Note that this is an annual limit, not a half-yearly one as before, although reporting is still due every six months. One further detail: from 2026 businesses on the simplified regime in Kazakhstan pay no VAT at all and cannot register for VAT even with a large turnover (imports of goods and services from foreign suppliers aside). But once the KZT 2.6 billion limit is exceeded, the simplified status is lost immediately and you have 5 working days to move to the general regime.
Можно ли открыть компанию удалённо?
Да: в Армении (ИП и ООО под ключ по доверенности), Грузии и ряде фризон ОАЭ. В Казахстане и для Mainland ОАЭ нужно физическое присутствие хотя бы на ключевых этапах.
Где самый низкий налог?
В Грузии — ИП со статусом малого бизнеса платит 1% с оборота до 500 000 GEL (≈$188k) в год. В Армении на оборотном налоге — 1% с IT-сертификатом, 5% для обычных услуг. В ОАЭ — 0% подоходного и 9% корпоративного с порогом 375 000 AED.
Что выгоднее — ИП или ООО?
ИП проще и дешевле в обслуживании, подходит для одного человека и услуг. ООО нужно при работе с несколькими учредителями, найме сотрудников и желании защитить личные активы.
