A plan has been approved to provide fiscal measures to support entrepreneurship. The Information Support Department of the Cabinet of Ministers of Kyrgyzstan reported.
«Today, many entrepreneurs are forced to suspend their activities. This once again proves how vulnerable we are during global crises. The crisis has affected the whole world, and the current situation is also negatively affecting our economy. I urge employers who still have financial opportunities to show solidarity and social responsibility by ensuring a minimum income level for their employees during the quarantine period. At such a time, we should all come together,» the Prime Minister Mukhammedkaly Abylgaziev said.
The Government will provide maximum assistance to business, individual entrepreneurs and citizens through financial and tax incentives after resumption of business activity.
As part of the plan to provide fiscal measures to support entrepreneurship, it was decided:
- To provide deferrals and installments for the payment of tax debts and social security debts arising from the introduction of the emergency situation regime and the state of emergency from March 22;
- Not to apply tax sanctions and penalties for late payment of tax obligations until July 1;
- To recommend local governments to provide a deferral of payments for rent of municipal property for three months from April 1;
