Kazakhstan authorises the Finance Minister to sign its first income tax treaty with Egypt. 

Kazakhstan issued Decree No. 382 on 28 May 2025, authorising Finance Minister Madi Takiyev to sign an income tax treaty with Egypt.

This will be the first tax treaty between the two countries.

The change updates Decree No. 333 from April 2024 by appointing a different person to sign the treaty on behalf of Kazakhstan. Negotiations for the treaty began in 2016 and were completed in 2019.

Earlier, Kazakhstan’s Ministry of Finance opened a public consultation on changes to a draft resolution authorising the signing of an income tax treaty with Egypt on 16 May 2025.

It must still be signed and ratified before it can take effect.
