How to obtain a permit for placement of advertisements on the streets

Payment for Outdoor Advertising Placement

Outdoor (visual) advertising placement is subject to payment in cases provided for by the tax legislation of the Republic of Kazakhstan.

The amount payable depends on the advertising location, the characteristics of the advertising structure, and other conditions established by current tax legislation.

Payment Procedure

1. Determine the location of the outdoor advertising and the characteristics of the advertising structure.

2. Check the applicable payment rate in accordance with the current Tax Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan.

3. Calculate the amount payable for the relevant period.

4. Pay the fee for the first month of advertising placement before submitting the notification.

5. Attach proof of payment to the notification.

6. Make subsequent payments in accordance with the procedures and deadlines established by tax legislation.

The fee for outdoor advertising placement and the fee for the public service of approving an advertising structure within a road right-of-way are two different concepts.

The public service for obtaining approval is provided free of charge. However, this does not in itself exempt the applicant from paying the outdoor advertising placement fee where such payment is required by law.
