Tax arrears will be written off after the law comes into force

The State Tax Service reminds taxpayers that the write-off of tax arrears provided for by the decree of the President of the Kyrgyz Republic dated 8 January 2025 will become possible after the relevant law comes into force. This was reported by the State Tax Service of the Kyrgyz Republic.

According to the draft law, the following types of arrears are subject to write-off:

tax arrears accrued for tax periods prior to 1 January 2022;

arrears on property tax on vehicles for periods prior to 1 January 2025 (provided that there is no court order for collection).

To date, the bill has been adopted by the Jogorku Kenesh and is in the process of being sent to the President of the Kyrgyz Republic for signature.

Once the law comes into force, the Tax Service will provide additional information to citizens via its official website www.sti.gov.kg, the media and social networks.

The measure to write off tax arrears is being implemented as part of the strategic objectives set out in the decrees of the President of the Kyrgyz Republic with a view to supporting entrepreneurship and economic recovery.

In accordance with the new tax legislation, the Tax Service will send notices of land tax assessments, as well as residential buildings and premises, to taxpayers no later than 30 calendar days before the tax payment deadline, i.e. by 1 August.

Taxpayers can also calculate and pay property tax themselves through their electronic taxpayer account or use the electronic calculator on the Tax Service's official website — https://sti.gov.kg/.
