ANNOUNCEMENT UAPF JSC reminds about the importance of timely registration of pensions 15.09.2026
The UAPF reminds that individuals with pension savings in the UAPF, formed through compulsory pension contributions and/or compulsory occupational pension contributions, who have reached the generally established retirement age, as well as individuals with disabilities of the first and second groups, if the disability is permanent, are entitled to receive pension benefits from the UAPF according to the established schedule.As a reminder, the old-age pension is available to individuals who have reached the generally established retirement age: men upon reaching 63 years of age, and women upon reaching 61 years of age in 2026.Pension benefits from the UAPF are paid until the pension savings are depleted.To receive pension benefits from the UAPF upon reaching retirement age, beneficiaries must promptly contact the local Public Service Center (PSC) at their place of residence. Documents and applications can be submitted to the PSC 10 days before the beneficiary reaches retirement age. We strongly recommend adhering to this deadline, as it is especially important for receiving a state pension, which requires verification of work experience based on the documents submitted.The pension is assigned from the date of application. It is important to note that if an application for pension payments is submitted before reaching retirement age, the date of application is considered the date of reaching retirement age. If an application is submitted after reaching retirement age, the date of application is considered the date of registration of the application with the Government for Citizens State Corporation.In addition, please note that future pensioners (potential beneficiaries) whose phone numbers are registered in the egov mobile citizen database will receive an SMS notification from number 1414 two months before reaching retirement age, informing them of the opportunity to contact the nearest branch of the State Corporation in a timely manner to receive pension payment services, with a link to the list of documents on the egov.kz website. This means that government agencies are sending out the relevant notifications to ensure pension benefits are processed within the prescribed timeframe, as benefits are not assigned for the missed period.Meanwhile, for individuals who have reached retirement age and who have pension savings in the UAPF but have not applied for their benefit, the UAPF conducts an annual verification, jointly with the State Corporation, to determine whether these citizens have assigned old-age pension benefits and the state basic pension benefit from budgetary funds. Based on the results of this verification, the UAPF makes payments proactively, i.e., without an application.Furthermore, starting in March 2026, a similar, non-application pension benefit paymentt procedure has been introduced through voluntary pension contributions (VPC) for individuals who have reached retirement age and who have pension savings in the UAPF through VPC, but who have not previously applied to the UAPF for payment due to reaching the age of fifty or disability.The non-application pension benefit payment procedure through VPC (if any) provides for:automatic assignment of UAPF pension payments through the VPC when applying to the State Corporation in the prescribed manner with applications for a pension from the state budget and payments through compulsory pension contributions and/or compulsory occupational pension contributions in connection with reaching retirement age;making payments through the VPC as part of a proactive service.To receive a disability payment upon reaching age 50 through the VPC, please contact UAPF offices or through your personal account on the UAPF website (enpf.kz) or the UAPF mobile app using an electronic digital signature.Please note that UAPF offers on-site services for individuals with disabilities. A preliminary consultation is provided, including verification of eligibility for services remotely, without an on-site visit.The enpf.kz website provides a list of required documents depending on the type of pension benefit, the method of submission, document requirements, application forms and sample forms, and a sample power of attorney. In the "Electronic Services" section, you can pre-screen documents submitted for pension benefits from UAPF.UAPF was founded on August 22, 2013 on the basis of GNPF APF JSC. The founder and shareholder of the UAPF is the Government of the Republic of Kazakhstan represented by the State Institution Committee of State Property and Privatization of the Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Kazakhstan. Trust management of UAPF pension assets is carried out by the National Bank of the Republic of Kazakhstan. In accordance with the pension legislation, the UAPF attracts compulsory pension contributions, employer’s compulsory pension contributions, compulsory occupational pension contributions, voluntary pension contributions, as well as carries out enrollment and accounting of voluntary pension contributions formed at the expense of the unclaimed amount of guaranteed compensation for the guaranteed deposit, transferred by the organization carrying out mandatory guarantee of deposits, in accordance with the Law of the Republic of Kazakhstan "On mandatory guarantee of deposits placed in second-tier banks of the Republic of Kazakhstan", ensures the implementation of pension benefits.

Internal state audit expands digital accounting monitoring 15.09.2026
The practice of remote identification and risk assessment of non-compliance with budget legislation in the activities of public institutions is expanding in Kazakhstan. This approach allows for the timely detection of potential violations and the taking of preventive measures without the need for on-site inspections.One of the key tools in this work is the risk management system, which enables the online analysis of financial and accounting operations of public institutions.This work is carried out by the Internal State Audit Committee of the Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Kazakhstan. This year, the Committee not only continued online monitoring of the budget expenditure side but also scaled up the analysis of accounting operations.Today, remote monitoring covers 14,000 public institutions. Based on the risk management system, more than 598 million accounting operations with a total volume of 22 trillion tenge have been analyzed.Notifications of identified risks amounting to approximately 166 billion tenge were promptly sent to budget program administrators, of which 141 billion tenge have already been resolved.The main advantage of this approach is the response directly within the accounting process, before the formation of financial statements.Identified discrepancies can be corrected by public institutions even before the data enters the financial statements and affects the reliability of information on assets, liabilities, and financial results, including during the formation of consolidated financial statements for the republican budget. "Digital data allows us to see the state of accounting in real time. Instead of subsequent detection of an already committed violation, it has become possible to respond in a timely manner at the stage when actions or inactions of institutions arise that could lead to financial violations, waste of budget funds, and economic damage to the state" – noted Committee Chairman YERZHAN MYNZHASAROV.The development of digital monitoring is one of the practical directions for implementing the Concept for the Development of Internal State Audit of the Republic of Kazakhstan until 2030, adopted this year.Among the key benchmarks of the Concept are the further development of a risk-oriented approach, data analytics, and preventive control.The next stage is the integration of the Committee's digital tools into a unified analytical environment.For this purpose, the integrated analytical information system for state audit SMART AUDIT QAZAQSTAN (SAQ) is being implemented.The system is being implemented in stages from 2026 to 2028 and provides for the introduction of big data analytics using artificial intelligence technologies. The first stage of the project is planned to be completed in early 2027.Already today, the Committee's digital tools are being expanded for the early detection of potential risks and their prevention.

Personal property tax: objects of taxation are not only apartments 15.09.2026
The Department of State Revenue of the Mangystau region explains to citizens the procedure for taxation of property of individuals. Property tax is levied not only on apartments: the object of taxation includes various types of real estate and land plots owned in Kazakhstan. What is the object of taxation According to the Tax Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan, the objects of taxation on the property of individuals are located on the territory of the Republic:dwellings (apartments, apartment buildings, rooms);buildings;country houses;garages;Parking spaces;other buildings, structures, and premises (including storerooms, outbuildings, outbuildings, and outbuildings);land plots owned by individuals by right of ownership.Thus, the tax is paid not only by the owners of apartments in apartment buildings, but also by the owners of individual residential buildings, cottages, garages, parking spaces, outbuildings and land plots. Who is the payer Tax payers are individuals who own these facilities. The tax is calculated by the tax authorities. The tax base for housing and country buildings is the value of the object, determined by the State Corporation "Government for Citizens" as of January 1 of the year following the tax period. This cost is usually lower than the market price of the property. Tax rates The personal property tax is calculated depending on the value of the object on a progressive scale. For objects with a value of up to 2,000,000 tenge inclusive, the rate is 0.05 percent of the cost. Then the rate increases stepwise. If the total value of all taxable objects owned by one owner exceeds 450,000,000 tenge, the tax is calculated based on the total value at an increased rate of 2 percent (2,946,600 tenge plus 2 percent of the amount exceeding 450 million tenge). Benefits Certain categories of citizens are entitled to benefits within the established amount of MCI from the total cost of facilities. """""" These include Heroes of the Soviet Union, Heroes of Socialist Labor, persons awarded the titles of "Halyk kaharmany", "Kazakstan Enbek Yeri", awarded the Order of Glory of three degrees and the Order of Otan, participants of the Great Patriotic War and persons equated to them, the disabled, mothers of many children, awarded the title of "Mother Heroine" or those awarded the "Altyn alka" pendant, retired persons living separately, within the limits stipulated by the Tax Code.The owners of apartments (rooms) in an apartment building are not property tax payers in terms of a share in the land occupied by such a house. It is important not to confuse it with the tax on the sale of property. The property tax is an annual tax for the ownership of an object. It does not replace the individual income tax on property income when selling real estate. From January 1, 2026, when selling residential real estate, dachas, garages, parking spaces, storerooms, personal subsidiary facilities and land plots, property income (value gain) arises if the object has been owned for less than two years — for objects acquired after the entry into force of the new Tax Code. For properties purchased before 2026, the same minimum period of ownership remains — one year. When selling non-residential (commercial) real estate, the increase in value is taxed regardless of the period of ownership. The tax is paid only on the difference between the sale price and the purchase price, and not on the entire transaction amount. IPN rate: 10 percent of the increase to 8,500 MCI and 15 percent of the excess amount. How to find out the amount and pay the tax The amount of the accrued tax can be checked in the e-Salyq Azamat mobile application, on the egov e-government portal.kz and on the Internet resource of the State Revenue Committee. It is recommended to make payments on time, avoiding the formation of arrears. The presence of tax arrears may lead to enforcement measures, including restrictions on travel outside the Republic of Kazakhstan.

Несырьевой сектор сохраняет темпы: рост ВВП за 8 месяцев составил 4,1% 14.09.2026
Реальный рост ВВП Казахстана за восемь месяцев составил 4,1% и сохраняется на этом уровне третий месяц подряд.На заседании штаба по обеспечению экономического роста под председательством заместителя Премьер-министра – министра национальной экономики Серика Жумангарина рассмотрели оперативные итоги развития экономики страны за восемь месяцев.Как было отмечено, рост экономики по-прежнему обеспечивается, прежде всего, устойчивой динамикой несырьевого сектора. Обрабатывающая промышленность увеличила объемы производства на 8,4%. Наиболее высокие темпы зафиксированы в машиностроении (21,2%), производстве продуктов питания (12,9%), химической промышленности (27,3%), производстве строительных материалов (7%), готовых металлических изделий (33,3%), резиновых и пластмассовых изделий (+18,5%), легкой промышленности (+70,4%) и фармацевтике (38,9%), в целом промышленное производство выросло на 2,6%. Значительный рост также отмечается в строительстве (15,6%), транспорте и складировании (7,3%), торговле (6%), сельском хозяйстве (5,2%) и связи (4,4%).На заседании штаба детально рассмотрели ситуацию в основных отраслях обрабатывающей промышленности. В металлургии, как известно, предприятия сегодня работают с загрузкой мощностей на уровне 90–100%. Несмотря на высокую загрузку, в черной металлургии рост производства составил 2% за счет увеличения выпуска чугуна и стали. В машиностроении по итогам восьми месяцев рост составил 21,2%. Высокая динамика обеспечена, в том числе, за счет автопрома (+27,7%), включающего производство легковых автомобилей, автобусов, грузовой и специальной техники. В производстве подвижного состава при значительном увеличении выпуска пассажирских вагонов и платформ отмечается снижение производства грузовых полувагонов и локомотивов.Серик Жумангарин поручил провести отдельное совещание, чтобы детально разобраться в причинах снижения и определить возможности для поддержания темпов роста машиностроения.«Металлургия занимает более 40% в обрабатывающей промышленности. Поэтому темпы роста в металлургии имеют особое значение для роста обработки. Не менее важно поддерживать динамику машиностроения – второй по доле отрасли в обработке. Этим направлениям мы будем уделять самое пристальное внимание до конца года», — подчеркнул Серик Жумангарин.В сельском хозяйстве третий месяц подряд отмечаются активные темпы роста: 5,2% за восемь месяцев (5% за январь-июль, 4,4% за январь-июнь). Такая динамика во многом связана с сезонным фактором – разгаром уборочной кампании и поступлением нового урожая. В производстве продуктов питания также зафиксирован значительный рост – 12,9 %. В нефтегазовой отрасли наблюдается постепенное восстановление объемов добычи нефти. ИФО за восемь месяцев составил 91,6%, добыто 61,7 млн тонн нефти, против 91,1% и 53,2 млн тонн по итогам января–июля 2026 года. Скорректированный прогноз добычи нефти на 2026 год составляет 96 млн тонн, что соответствует ИФО 91,6%.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/economy/press/news/details/1291535?lang=ru
