1. Recycling Fee Coefficients (Утильсбор)
The Recycling Fee is calculated from a base rate of 50 MRP (196,600 ₸):
- ≤ 1,000 cc: 1.5 coefficient (294,900 ₸)
- 1,001 to 2,000 cc: 3.5 coefficient (688,100 ₸)
- 2,001 to 3,000 cc: 5.0 coefficient (983,000 ₸)
- > 3,000 cc: 11.5 coefficient (2,260,900 ₸)
- Electric Vehicles (EV): 0 coefficient (0 ₸ exempt)
2. Prohibitive Older Vehicle Penalties
To stop the influx of aging polluting cars, Article 553 of the Tax Code imposes a 500 MRP primary registration fee (1,966,000 ₸ in 2025) on any imported car older than 3 years.
In contrast, brand new cars under 2 years old pay only 0.25 MRP (983 ₸).
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Recycling & Utilization Fee (Утилизационный сбор / Утильсбор) in Kazakhstan? ▼
The Recycling Fee is a statutory environmental levy mandated on all motor vehicles imported or manufactured in Kazakhstan before primary registration. It is calculated by multiplying a statutory Base Rate of 50 MRP (196,600 KZT in 2025) by an engine displacement coefficient (ranging from 1.5 for <=1.0L up to 11.5 for >3.0L). Fully electric vehicles (EVs) have a zero coefficient and pay 0 KZT util fee!
How does vehicle age affect the Primary Registration Tax (Сбор за первичную регистрацию)? ▼
Under Article 553 of the Tax Code, primary registration tax is steeply progressive based on vehicle age: (1) Brand new cars under 2 years old: 0.25 MRP (983 KZT), (2) Cars between 2 and 3 years old: 50 MRP (196,600 KZT), and (3) Cars older than 3 years: 500 MRP (1,966,000 KZT!). This protects the domestic market from obsolete vehicle imports.
How is the annual Vehicle Transport Tax (Налог на транспортные средства) calculated? ▼
Under Article 492 of the Tax Code, annual vehicle tax is levied by engine cubic centimeters (cc): e.g., 1,501–2,000 cc costs 3 MRP + 7 KZT per cc over 1,500 cc; 2,501–3,000 cc costs 9 MRP + 15 KZT per cc over 2,500 cc; and engines over 4,000 cc cost 117 MRP + 130 KZT per cc.
Are Electric Vehicles (EVs) exempt from taxes in Kazakhstan? ▼
Yes, battery electric vehicles (BEVs) receive massive statutory incentives: (1) Zero Recycling Fee (Утильсбор = 0 KZT), (2) Exemption from annual Vehicle Transport Tax, and (3) 0% customs import duty under specific EAEU quota allocations.
When and where are vehicle registration taxes paid? ▼
Recycling fees are paid online to Zhasyl Damu (АО 'Жасыл Даму') prior to vehicle registration. Primary registration fees and state duties for license plates (2.8 MRP) and technical passports (1.25 MRP) are paid at Specialized Public Service Centers (СпецЦОН) or through banking apps (Kaspi.kz / eGov).
