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.
Mining in Kazakhstan. At the beginning of May, the Minister of Digital Development of Kazakhstan Bagdat Musin introduced changes to the rules for informing about mining activities. Individuals who plan to engage in cryptocurrency mining now need to notify the ministry and provide it with detailed data.
In the first quarter of 2022, Kazakhstan's budget increased by 652 million tenge ($1,52 million) thanks to companies that are engaged in mining cryptocurrencies in the country.
