Changes to the procedures for the withdrawal and correction of tax returnsFrom January 1, 2026, regulations excluding the possibility of using the “Withdrawal of tax returns” service come into force. This measure is aimed at minimizing errors and improving the correctness of submitted data.Procedure for making changes:After submission of tax reporting forms (TFRs), any changes will be possible only by submitting additional tax returns.Choice of tax authority:In order to eliminate errors, the new tax administration information system (TISA) has implemented a function for automatically determining the code of the tax authority at the place of registration. This measure is designed to reduce the number of errors, because of which earlier taxpayers often resorted to the procedure of revocation of reporting. If necessary, the ability to independently edit the code is preserved.Taxpayers should carefully check the correctness of information before sending declarations and take a responsible approach to their completion. Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/kgd-zhetysu/press/news/details/1127926?lang=kk
