Tax and compliance

Resident treatment: the Kazakhstan Tax Code states resident individuals are taxed on income from Kazakhstan and from sources outside Kazakhstan; tax residency includes physical presence of 183 or more calendar days in any consecutive 12-month period. Non-resident treatment: non-residents are taxed on Kazakhstan-source income. Assumptions: effective PIT uses the general individual income-tax rate of 10% for labor income; employee social contribution aggregates mandatory pension contributions (10%) and employee compulsory health-insurance deductions (2%). Confidence: medium (official legal and government pages were used, but legal translation and contribution caps require interpretation).

Computed baselines (USD/month): poor=512.1, average=747.0, comfortable=720.1. Source-date: TheLivingCost country page retrieved 2026-02-27 (page does not expose a clear dataset update timestamp). monthly_coworking_usd is null because TheLivingCost does not publish a country-level coworking benchmark and no official national statistical series was located. Confidence: medium (consistent secondary dataset, limited methodology transparency).
