The Kazakh government announced a progressive personal income tax (PIT) scale under the new Tax Code, effective 2027. Higher rates will apply only to citizens with very high incomes, Lada.kz reported.
New Tax Threshold
The government has set a 'red line' salary threshold above which a higher PIT rate will apply. The exact amount and rate have not been disclosed yet, but officials said the measure targets top earners. The progressive scale is part of the broader Tax Code overhaul aimed at increasing budget revenues.
Implementation Timeline
The new Tax Code is scheduled to take effect on January 1, 2027. The government plans to finalize the threshold and rates by mid-2026. The Ministry of National Economy is drafting the accompanying regulations.
What's Next
The government is expected to publish the specific income thresholds and rates in the coming months. It remains unclear how the progressive scale will affect high-income professionals and businesses.
