Kyrgyzstan to Introduce Mandatory QR Code Tax Payments
Beginning July 1, 2025, all taxes and insurance contributions in Kyrgyzstan must be paid exclusively using a unique payment code or QR code. The change was announced by the press service of the State Tax Service (GNS) of the Kyrgyz Republic.
The new system will apply to taxes, non-tax revenues, and mandatory insurance contributions. Taxpayers will be able to generate a QR code through their account on the State Tax Service website or via a dedicated mobile application. Alternatively, QR codes can be obtained at Business Service Centers or local tax offices.
Mirlan Rakhmanov, Deputy Chairman of the State Tax Service, emphasized that the shift to QR code payments is designed to enhance transparency and streamline the payment process.
“Payment via QR code enables real-time crediting of funds to the state budget, eliminates manual entry errors at banks, accelerates service delivery, and reduces the need for queuing,” Rakhmanov stated.
Banking sector representatives who attended consultations with tax officials expressed readiness to support the transition. The State Tax Service confirmed that banks are technically equipped to implement the new system without disruptions.
The announcement comes as part of a broader package of reforms aimed at modernizing tax administration. The agency reported that it has intensified analytical efforts to combat tax evasion, particularly schemes involving the artificial fragmentation of businesses to qualify for tax benefits intended for small enterprises.
“The State Tax Service possesses the digital tools necessary to monitor economic activity, including through data-sharing arrangements with other government agencies,” the statement added.
