Contents of the document. The exact amount of tax will be determined depending on the cost of energy consumed during a certain period. Tariffs start from 1 tenge per kWh if a miner paid 25 tenge or more per kWh, and could be as high as 10 tenge if the electricity fee was in the 5-10 tenge range.
Mining farms using electricity generated from renewable resources will pay the lowest tax rate — 1 tenge per kWh, regardless of the rate.
