Cyprus and Kyrgyzstan signed an income tax treaty on 8 June 2026 to eliminate double taxation, strengthen trade and investment ties, and replace the 1982 Soviet-era tax arrangement, with entry into force contingent on the exchange of ratification instruments.
The Cyprus Ministry of Finance announced that Cyprus and Kyrgyzstan signed an income tax treaty on 8 June 2026.
The agreement is expected to strengthen economic, trade and investment relations between the two countries by enhancing the tax framework, reducing administrative and tax burdens, and preventing tax evasion and avoidance.
It also includes provisions on the exchange of tax information and mutual administrative procedures for resolving tax disputes.
The treaty will enter into force following the exchange of ratification instruments and, once effective, will replace the 1982 tax treaty between Cyprus and the former Soviet Union, which generally remains applicable to relations between Cyprus and Kyrgyzstan.
