Kubanychbek Ysabekov, Deputy Chairman of the State Tax Service, spoke about the taxes paid by gold mining companies.
According to him, Kyrgyzstan profits not only from taxes but also from dividends and jobs. Kumtor paid over 10 billion soms in taxes in the first nine months of this year.
“Tax revenues are expected to reach approximately 15 billion soms until the end of the year. The same is true for Djerooy: approximately 8 billion soms were collected in the first nine months. It’s worth noting that taxes on precious metals increase depending on their value. And the price of gold is rising. Last week, it was announced that the price of gold reached $4,000 per ounce,” he said. (Kabar)
