A trading function built around your business
Source from manufacturers, sell to regional customers or represent a supplier. A Kyrgyz company can perform a defined role within your international structure, supported by clear contracts, payment arrangements and accounting.
VM.Capital helps connect the commercial objective with implementation: who buys and sells, who handles delivery, where revenue is received and which obligations arise.
Explore All Business SolutionsFour operating scenarios
Group sourcing
Purchasing Company
The company contracts with suppliers and resells goods to group entities or other buyers. Its income comes from a trading margin; functions, costs and intra-group terms need to be supportable.
Sales in selected markets
Regional Seller
The company buys goods and sells to customers in its own name. It assumes agreed commercial obligations, collects revenue and pays suppliers. Profit depends on the margin and costs.
Developing a manufacturer’s sales
Distributor
Alongside resale, the company coordinates dealers, promotion and service in an agreed territory. Contracts define products, territory, obligations, warranties and trademark use.
Facilitating transactions
Intermediary
The company helps suppliers and buyers conclude or perform transactions and receives an agreed fee. Its contract determines whose name it acts in, whether it handles payments and whether it acquires the goods.
Three flows that must tell the same commercial story
Goods
Where goods move, who carries and imports them, and when risk and title transfer. The route must match the transaction terms.
Contracts
Identify the seller, buyer or intermediary. Align delivery, pricing, documents, liability, returns and dispute resolution.
Payments
Who pays whom, for what and in which currency. Contracts and supporting records must substantiate payments; the bank assesses service availability.
Will goods move through Kyrgyzstan or directly?
Goods entering Kyrgyzstan
Assess the customs procedure, goods status, import taxes and duties, documents, storage and onward sale. Product requirements depend on the category and destination market.
Goods staying outside Kyrgyzstan
The supplier ships directly to a buyer in another country while the Kyrgyz company performs a contractual trading function. Before launch, assess payment eligibility, tax treatment and evidence of delivery and title transfer.
Kyrgyz incorporation does not change the origin of goods. Intra-EAEU treatment depends on the goods’ status; import taxes, product requirements and applicable restrictions need separate assessment.
Assess the structure before the first contract
Tell us about the goods, supplier and buyer countries, and the proposed company role. We will help identify the issues to resolve before operations begin.
Tax: 2% for an eligible trading model
Simplified tax system
2%
of revenue for trade paid by non-cash means, subject to eligibility for the single-tax regime. This is a tax on revenue, not on the trading profit.
Assess the goods, transactions and eligibility. Agency fees, particular goods and special transactions may have different tax treatment.
The rate and the full cost
Account separately for import payments, employee-related obligations and other applicable costs. If simplified taxation is unsuitable, compare the general or another available regime.
The 2% rate is not automatically extended to every activity or operation outside Kyrgyzstan. Tax implications in supplier, buyer and owner jurisdictions require project-specific assessment.
A standard Kyrgyz company or Tamchy SFIT?
Tamchy SFIT lists trade and operations among its business areas. This supports considering the option, but does not establish eligibility for every trading structure.
A company under national law
Consider for purchasing, resale, agency or distribution. Determine applicable taxes, permissions, address, governance, banking requirements and accounting.
A structure in Tamchy SFIT
Match the trading or supporting function to permitted activities. Review registration, status, licences, presence, governance, reporting, fees and costs.
SFIT tax relief has a defined scope; activities elsewhere in Kyrgyzstan are subject to national taxation rules. Customs treatment depends on the procedure and movement of goods.
HTP is not presented as a regime for ordinary goods resale. A separate technology function requires its own assessment.
