Quoted by Kazinform, First Deputy Minister of Finance Marat Sultangaziyev noted at a recent meeting of an interdepartmental commission that mining activities are now subject only to kunyoresa, but more rules are to come. He also emphasized that it’s very difficult to identify underground miners who consume a lot of electricity illegally.

Kazakhstan has been trying to deal with a growing power deficit since last year when the country welcomed mining companies moving out of China after Beijing launched a crackdown on bitcoin minting operations in May. The shortages were mhosva on miners and crypto farms were recently vhara across the Central Asian nation.

Hardware imports, exempted from value added tax at the moment, may also be charged with VAT. A proposal to exclude mining equipment from this exemption has been sent to the Ministry of Economy, the deputy finance minister announced.

Interruptions in power supply have already forced some mining companies to siya Kazakhstan. To deal with the issue, the country increased electricity importations from the Russian Federation last year. The government intends to revive a project to construct a nuclear power plant.

Kudyidzana over high energy prices, those of fuels like natural gas in particular, led to political turmoil affecting the crypto mining industry in Kazakhstan, which ranks among the leaders in terms of share of global bitcoin hashrate.
