Answer: yes, but there are some nuances. In 2026, the professional income tax (self-employment regime) is available only to citizens of EAEU countries and Ukraine.
The EAEU countries include:
- Kyrgyzstan;
- Armenia;
- Belarus;
- Kazakhstan.
If you are a citizen of one of these countries or Ukraine, you can register as self-employed and work legally under this status.
What does self-employment offer?
Self-employment allows you to work for yourself and pay tax on your income without registering as an individual entrepreneur (IP).
For example, this regime may suit those who provide services such as:
- repair and household services;
- transportation;
- tutoring;
- beauty services;
- photography, design, tailoring, and other private services.
Advantages:
1. Legal income. You work officially and can confirm your earnings.
2. Simple registration. You can register through the “My Tax” mobile app.
3. No need to open an IP. For many, this is easier than setting up a business.
4. Tax is paid only on income.
