- Kazakhstan has introduced the “Google Tax” in 2022, which imposes VAT on foreign companies providing digital services or e-commerce to individuals in the country.
- Companies subject to the Google Tax are required to register under the scheme and pay VAT at a rate of 12% on their transactions with Kazakhstani residents.
- Foreign companies must submit a confirmation letter to the State Revenue Committee (SRC) and make VAT payments in Kazakhstani Tenge. Opening a local bank account may be necessary for companies without access to the local currency.
- VAT IT Compliance can provide guidance and support for companies navigating the Google Tax regulations and ensure compliance with the new requirements.
