In 2024 the city's hotels and other accommodation hosted 1.4 million guests, second only to Almaty.

Tax options for apartment owners in 2026

Kazakhstan's new Tax Code took effect on 1 January 2026. An owner renting out housing can choose between four legal routes, and registering as a sole proprietor is not compulsory:

  • Declare the income as an individual on form 270.00, due by 15 September.
  • Have the tax withheld by a tenant that is a company or a sole proprietor.
  • Register as self-employed: income up to 300 MCI a month (KZT 1,297,500), 0% income tax and 4% social payments through the E-Salyq Business app.
  • Register as a sole proprietor on the simplified regime and file form 910.00.
  • Individual income tax itself is 10% on annual income up to 8,500 MCI and 15% above that.

What Roomi PMS takes care of

A guest page before check-in

Passport details arrive before the guest does, ready for the eQonaq notice.

Event dates priced once

Prices and minimum stays can differ by date range, so a congress week gets its own rate without touching the rest of the month.

Same-day changeovers

A morning departure and an afternoon arrival: the cleaning task shows the next check-in time, so the flat is ready.

Income per apartment in tenge

Revenue and costs per unit in KZT are the numbers every tax route starts from, whichever one you choose.
