Kazakhstan Offers Crypto Tax Amnesty with Three-Year Exemption
Kazakhstan has introduced a three-year tax exemption for eligible crypto transactions as part of its efforts to move more digital assets onto licensed domestic platforms.
The voluntary disclosure program, signed by President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev on July 7, allows individuals to receive a personal income tax exemption from 2026 through 2028 if they declare their crypto holdings and transfer them to licensed platforms in Kazakhstan by the end of 2026.
The tax relief applies only to assets that are not linked to fraud, money laundering or other illegal activity. The program gives holders until December 31, 2026, to complete the disclosure and transfer process.
Kazakhstan had about one million crypto wallets as of March 2026, but only around 257,000 users were registered with authorized local exchanges, leaving a gap between overall wallet activity and participation in regulated platforms. The voluntary disclosure program is designed to address that gap by providing a tax incentive for holders to move assets into the domestic regulated market.
