In Kazakhstan, the state strictly regulates the minimum retail prices (MRP) for tobacco products. Attempting to attract customers with discounts or selling cigarettes below the established threshold is not marketing — it is a direct administrative offense.⚠️ What Does the Law Say?Selling tobacco products below the minimum retail price (MRP) entails liability under the legislation of the Republic of Kazakhstan:Heavy Fines: The amount of the fine depends on the business category (ranging from small enterprises to large retail chains). Repeated violations significantly increase the penalty amounts.Confiscation of Products: In addition to the fine, all tobacco products sold or intended for sale in violation of the rules are subject to mandatory confiscation.Suspension or Revocation of Licenses: Systematic violations risk losing the right to sell excisable goods.📌 Current Minimum PricesThe Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Kazakhstan regularly updates the minimum price threshold for a pack of 20 cigarettes:Starting January 1, 2026 — at least 970 KZT.Starting August 1, 2026 — at least 1,060 KZT.Selling cigarettes even 1 KZT cheaper than this amount is strictly prohibited.💡 What Should Store Owners and Retailers Do?Check Your Price Tags: Ensure that no item in your tobacco inventory is priced below the official minimum threshold.Update Your POS Database: Block the ability for cashiers to manually apply discounts or lower tobacco prices at checkout.Instruct Your Staff: Cashiers must understand that selling cigarettes "at the old price" or "as a favor" exposes the business to heavy fines and product confiscation. Stay compliant with the law and protect your business from unnecessary financial losses!

When planning major purchases, many car enthusiasts and entrepreneurs only look at the dealership price tag. However, the new Tax Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan classifies high-value vehicles as excisable goods.If you plan to buy a premium vehicle, make sure to consider the following tax requirements:📌 What qualifies as a "high-end" vehicle?Passenger cars with a purchase price equal to or exceeding 18,000 times the Monthly Calculation Index (MCI, effective as of January 1 of the corresponding financial year) are subject to excise duty.📌 What are the declaration rules and deadlines?Excise Tax Return: Since a calendar month is recognized as the tax period for excise tax, taxpayers are required to independently submit an excise return to the tax authority at their location.Filing Deadlines: Reports must be submitted no later than the 15th day of the second month following the reporting tax period (for example, if a transaction occurs in August, the return must be filed by October 15).📌 Universal Declaration and Proof of IncomePurchasing a vehicle valued over 18,000 MCI will inevitably raise questions regarding the legitimacy of the funds used. When submitting your annual Income and Property Declaration (Form 270.00), you will need to verify the source of funds used to cover these expenses.Tax authorities officially utilize information from declarations and data from authorized agencies to perform comparative audits of individual income vs. expenses. As a reminder, any acquisition of property within Kazakhstan or abroad is subject to mandatory declaration if the total combined value for the reporting period exceeds 20,000 MCI.Plan your major purchases wisely and remember: timely reporting protects you from tax adjustments, late penalties, and bank account freezes! Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/kgd-zhetysu/press/news/details/1280118?lang=ru
