For comparison, during the same period last year, revenues amounted to 678.8 million KGS. Thus, tax revenues from foreign digital services have almost doubled, or increased by 594 million KGS.
The category of taxable services includes services provided by major global platforms: Google, Apple, Meta, Amazon, Netflix, TikTok, cloud storage services, advertising platforms, streaming services, and other companies providing electronic services to users in Kyrgyzstan.
