The Ministry of Economy of Kyrgyzstan proposes to reduce tax rates for the gambling industry in order to attract investors in this area. So far, only one application has been submitted to open a casino. According to a law passed last year, gambling establishments have the right to open and operate legally. However, there is not much enthusiasm for this business among investors in Kyrgyzstan. Government representatives believe that the reason is high taxes, but some experts argue that this is not the case.

A draft resolution to reduce tax rates for casinos was presented for public discussion March 24. The head of the Ministry of Ecology Daniyar Amangeldiev noted that the initiative involves the creation of favorable conditions for investors. He also added that if the establishment will work successfully, the tax rates can be gradually increased.

According to the official, gambling is an additional opportunity for tourism development and it is necessary to use them. It is worth noting that for the citizens of the country itself the entrance to the casinos is prohibited. Since the law was passed, it is necessary to create conditions for investors, and during the negotiations with them, there was an opinion that the tax rates are too high. They would be satisfactory if all citizens could visit gambling establishments. Because of such restrictions, there was a proposal to increase taxes in stages. The Cabinet of Ministers will independently set these rates depending on current conditions.
