The decision has to be approved by President Nursultan Nazarbaev, who on September 1 suggested himself that the deadline be extended.
It was originally due to expire on December 30 of this year.
Nazarbaev and his government hope the amnesty, which aims at putting a dent the shadow economy, will bring additional budget revenues of some $30 million.
Addressing a cabinet meeting on October 27, Deputy Prime Minister Karim Masimov said he regretted that only a few people had decided to take advantage of the proposed measure.
The Finance Ministry says that, as of today, the capital amnesty has brought the state only the equivalent of $2.2 million in revenues.
