Israel and Kazakhstan have signed an income tax treaty after more than a decade of negotiations, aiming to reduce tax burdens on businesses and investors, provide greater tax certainty and strengthen bilateral economic ties.
Israel and Kazakhstan signed an income tax treaty on 2 November 2026, following more than a decade of negotiations, according to a release by Israel’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
The agreement was signed during the tenth meeting of the Israel-Kazakhstan Joint Economic Commission. It aims to reduce the tax burden on businesses and investors, provide greater tax
certainty and encourage bilateral trade and investment.
The signing followed Kazakhstan’s authorisation under Government Decree No. 957 of 28 October 2026, which empowered the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Artificial Intelligence and Digital Development to sign the treaty.
Kazakhstan’s Ministry of Finance first opened a public consultation on a draft government resolution authorising the treaty’s signing in 2023. It launched a further public consultation on 10 July 2026, with submissions due by 27 July 2026.
The treaty will enter into force after the two countries exchange their instruments of ratification.
