Tajikistan Investment Income Guide 2026

Overview — Investment Income Taxation

Tajikistan taxes investment income through withholding taxes at source or inclusion in the tax base. The withholding tax is generally a final tax for resident individuals. For companies, withheld tax is creditable against CIT. For non-residents, withholding tax rates may be reduced under applicable double tax treaties. The Tax Committee administers all withholding tax under the Tax Code.

Dividends

Dividends paid by Tajikistan-resident companies are subject to withholding tax at the rate specified in the Tax Code. This is generally a final tax for resident individuals. For corporate shareholders, the WHT is a creditable advance payment against their CIT liability. For non-residents, the dividend WHT rate may be reduced under applicable DTTs.

Interest Income

Interest income from bank deposits, bonds, and other debt instruments is subject to taxation. The treatment varies by instrument. Interest on government securities may have specific rules. For individuals, interest may be subject to final withholding tax or included in taxable income.

Capital Gains

As noted in the capital gains guide, gains from the disposal of assets are aggregated with ordinary income and taxed at progressive IIT rates (12-23%) for individuals or CIT rates (18%/5%) for companies. Gains from the sale of listed securities may have specific exemptions or treatments.

FAQs
