According to the adopted law, all entities in the garment and textile industry will pay insurance contributions according to a single formula over the next four years — 12% of 40% of the average monthly salary, regardless of the form of ownership and size of the business. This means that insurance payments will be calculated not on the basis of the employee's full salary, but only on a portion of it, which significantly reduces the burden on employers.
From January 1, 2026, with an average monthly salary of 44,070 KGS, the insurance contribution per employee will be 2,115.5 KGS. In addition, income tax is levied at a rate of 1% of the average monthly salary, or 440.7 KGS. This forms a total burden of 2,556.2 KGS per employee per month.
The tax service notes that the introduction of a fixed formula for insurance contributions until 2030 gives the industry long-term cost predictability. This is especially important for export-oriented garment manufacturing and companies working with international orders.
The law was signed by Sadyr Zhaparov on December 31, 2025, as part of a package of measures to support the economy and entrepreneurship.
