High-Tech Park (HTP) residency in Kyrgyzstan — 0% tax for IT companies
Registration in the High-Tech Park of Kyrgyzstan: 0% corporate income tax, VAT and sales tax for IT companies and service exporters. Turnkey from 10 business days.
Short answer: the High-Tech Park (HTP) of Kyrgyzstan is a special regime where IT companies pay 0% corporate income tax, 0% VAT and 0% sales tax, contributing only 1% of revenue to the HTP fund. A foreign company can become a resident through a Kyrgyz legal entity. We register the company and obtain residency turnkey in 10–15 business days.
What HTP residency gives you
- 0% corporate income tax;
- 0% VAT and sales tax;
- 1% of revenue — contribution to the HTP directorate;
- simplified currency control and legal export of services to the US, EU and worldwide;
- ability to receive foreign-currency payments to a Kyrgyz account.
Who it suits
Software developers, IT studios, SaaS, digital agencies, and any company exporting IT services. Ideal for relocating an IT business from Russia or Kazakhstan: the team can work from anywhere while the entity and taxes stay in Kyrgyzstan.
How we obtain residency
- We register your LLC in Kyrgyzstan (if you don’t have one) — 3–7 days.
- We prepare the HTP directorate package: activity description, website, portfolio.
- We accompany the application review — usually 5–10 business days.
- We set up reporting: quarterly declaration and the 1% contribution.
Pricing
Company + HTP residency turnkey — from $1,400. Monthly accounting for an HTP resident — from $160/month.
FAQ
Is the Kyrgyz HTP the same as Astana Hub in Kazakhstan?
Similar regimes, but the Kyrgyz HTP rate is lower: 1% of revenue, and no requirement to have an office or reside in Kyrgyzstan, unlike Astana Hub’s physical-presence conditions.
Can I become an HTP resident without registering an LLC?
No. Only a legal entity or an IE registered in Kyrgyzstan can become an HTP resident. We handle both.
Do US and EU clients accept HTP residents?
Yes. Kyrgyzstan is not on sanctions lists; contracts and payments from US and EU customers go through normally. We help with standard English-language contracts.
