According to Article 484 of the Tax Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan, an adjustment to the amount of value-added tax offset is an increase or decrease in the amount of value-added tax offset in the cases established by this article and Article 485 of the Tax Code.The amount of value-added tax offset is reduced for goods, works, and services for which value-added tax was previously offset, in particular in accordance with subparagraph 7 of paragraph 2 of Article 484 of the Tax Code for agricultural products, fish farming or commercial fishing products used for taxable turnover at a zero rate.. In this case, the amount of value-added tax offset is adjusted by reducing 80 percent of the amount of value-added tax offset for agricultural products, fish farming or commercial fishing products used for taxable turnover at a zero rate.However, according to the explanations of the Ministry of National Economy, taking into account the provisions of the Law of the Republic of Kazakhstan "On State Regulation of the development of the agro-industrial complex and rural areas" dated July 8, 2005 No. 66, in the case of exports of products resulting from the processing of agricultural raw materials, this adjustment is not applied. For example, when exporting flour, VAT refunds are carried out in accordance with the generally established procedure in full, subject to compliance with the requirements of tax legislation, since flour belongs to processed products.#Заң_мен_тәртіп#Закон_и_порядокSource : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/kgd-sko/press/news/details/1308134?lang=ru

CASE STUDY: IF YOU SOLD AN APARTMENT IN 2026, DO YOU NEED TO PAY TAXES?Let's look at a specific example.Situation:A citizen purchased an apartment in 2026 for 25 million tenge. After 1 year, he decided to sell it for 30 million tenge.Is there a tax liability?Yes. If the apartment was registered in ownership after January 1, 2026 and is sold before the expiration of 2 years, property income arises if there is an increase in value.How is revenue calculated?30 million ₸ is the cost of the sale25 million — — acquisitioncost 5 million ₸ - cost increaseIt is this difference that is the income from the increase in value, and not the entire amount of the sale.If the income is within the appropriate threshold, the IPN rate of 10 is applied.%In our example:5,000,000 × 10% = 500,000 tenge IPN.But there is an important transitional moment!If the ownership of the apartment was registered before January 1, 2026, the previous period of 1 year is applied for exemption from taxation during the transition period.If the ownership is registered after January 1, 2026, a period of 2 years applies.If property income has arisen as a result of the sale, an individual must submit a declaration of 270.00. For income received in 2026, the declaration is submitted no later than September 15, 2027, and the personal income tax is paid no later than September 25, 2027.Important: the rules differ depending on the date of registration of ownership, the type of real estate and the method of its acquisition.For example, separate rules apply if the property was inherited or donated.And if you bought an apartment in 2025 and sold it in 2026, will there be a tax?Keep an eye on the heading "Tax case" — let's look at the following example.#DGDCostanay #Tax2026 #Tax code2026 #Real Estate #Apartment Sales #IPN #Taxcase #KostanaySource : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/kgd-kostanay/press/news/details/1308152?lang=ru

This year, seven graduates of a college in Astana decided to undertake compulsory military service in the National Guard of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Kazakhstan. All seven trained as paramedics. They are currently at the training center of Military Unit 5571 in Almaty, where they are learning the fundamentals of military service and preparing to take the Military Oath.The initiative came from Private Kadirzhan Baitenov. He was the first to visit the military enlistment office and undergo a medical examination before inviting his former classmates to join him in serving.Private Duman Korganbayev also supported the idea. At the time, he was in Shymkent. When he learned that his friends were preparing to join the army, he bought a ticket to Astana and went to the military enlistment office that same day. Thus, the seven former classmates found themselves together again — this time in military uniform.Today, the Guardsmen are undergoing basic military training. They are adapting to army routines, learning drill techniques and mastering the fundamentals of military service. According to them, having familiar faces around helps them adjust to their new environment more quickly.“We have known each other for a long time, so we feel more confident here. We can always turn to one another for help. Serving together is interesting because we have people to share both everyday moments and the first challenges of military life with,” says Private Almas Bolysbek.When asked why they chose the National Guard, the servicemen point to its modern service conditions. They were particularly interested in the digitalization of processes within the law and order troops, the use of intelligent video surveillance systems and modern technologies applied to organizing servicemen’s meals.The seven classmates still have many months of service ahead of them. After completing their training, they will carry out public order and security duties in Almaty.For some of them, service in the law and order troops may mark the beginning of a professional career. Several servicemen are already considering continuing their service in the Military Medical Department, where they could apply the knowledge they gained in college in a military setting. Press Service of the National Guard of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of KazakhstanSource : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/kvv/press/news/details/1308013?lang=ru
