Changes have been made to the transport tax rates for light-duty trucks, including gazelles. This was reported in the State Revenue Committee of the Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Kazakhstan.
Previously, the owners of cargo gazelles paid the tax as passenger cars, that is, depending on the engine volume.
Additions have been made to the Tax Code, according to which, for trucks such as gazelles, the amount of tax depends on the carrying capacity.
This change made it possible to reduce the amount of tax by an average of 30-50%. So, for example, for owners of cargo vans with an engine capacity from 2,500 to 3,000 cubic cm and a load capacity of up to 1.5 tons, the amount of tax will decrease on average from 26-30 thousand tenge to 14.6 thousand tenge in 2021.
This change has been put into effect since January 1, 2021. Therefore, the vehicle tax for 2021 for such cars will be calculated at a reduced rate.
