Tax disputes in the arbitration court

The new Tax Code of the Kyrgyz Republic came into force on January 1, 2022.

One of the main changes was the enshrinement of norms relating to the provision of the possibility to consider tax disputes in the arbitration court.

The relevant articles of the Tax Code on this issue will come into force on January 1, 2023. The Regulations of the International Court of Arbitration under the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of the Kyrgyz Republic and other acts will be finalized during the year.

These changes have been discussed for a long time and now, the decision has been made.

We believe that consideration of tax disputes in arbitration courts will provide an opportunity for independent, prompt and impartial decision-making on tax disputes.

In addition, the parties may choose specifically specialist arbitrators dealing with tax disputes as arbitrators.
