Notifications of Discrepancies Identified Through Desk Audit (Cameral Control) 10.03.2026
Since the beginning of 2026, amendments to the Tax Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan have come into force, aimed at improving the efficiency of tax administration and ensuring transparency in the interaction between taxpayers and the state revenue authorities. One of the key control mechanisms remains desk audit (cameral control), which allows discrepancies between tax reporting data and the taxpayer’s actual activities to be identified.A new format of discrepancy notification has been approved, enabling taxpayers to respond promptly to identified inconsistencies by eliminating discrepancies or providing explanations.Article 137 of the Tax Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan (2026) establishes the legal grounds and procedures for conducting desk audits. Such audits are carried out after the submission of tax reports within the statute of limitations period and are aimed at comparing the taxpayer’s data with information available to the tax authorities.After receiving the notification, the taxpayer has the right either to eliminate the violations or to provide justified explanations confirming the absence of a violation of the legislation. The deadline for compliance with the notification is 30 working days from the date of receipt. The document is sent to all taxpayers, except for participants in horizontal monitoring, and also applies to foreign companies operating through online platforms in Kazakhstan.Compliance with the notification can be carried out in several ways:If the taxpayer agrees — submit an additional tax reporting form, pay the outstanding tax and penalties, reflect the data in mobile applications (for the self-employed), or take actions required to transition to the appropriate tax regime;If the taxpayer disagrees — provide written explanations with supporting documents;If partially agreeing — eliminate some discrepancies and provide explanations for the remaining ones.Failure to comply with the notification within the установленный срок may result in administrative measures by the state revenue authorities, including suspension of debit transactions on bank accounts, suspension of the issuance of electronic invoices, and restriction of access to internet resources for foreign companies operating through online platforms.The introduction of the new notification form makes the desk audit process more transparent and allows taxpayers to respond more flexibly to identified discrepancies. A key condition for compliance with legislation remains the timely execution of the notification and accurate reporting using digital tools.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/kgd-vko/press/news/details/1177840?lang=kk

After Four Years Apart: Incarcerated Women Reunite with Their ChildrenOn the eve of International Women’s Day, a touching reunion took place in one of the correctional facilities of the Karaganda region, where two incarcerated women were able to meet their children.For four long years, the mothers had not seen their children, who had been living in the Oskarovsky orphanage all this time.

For these women, the reunion became a true gift for International Women’s Day and a reminder of the most important thing — maternal love and family values.Facility staff note that such meetings play an important role in the resocialization process of inmates, helping them maintain family connections and motivating them toward rehabilitation and reintegration into society.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/ps/press/news/details/1177853?lang=kk

Весенняя проверка семян: Почему это фундамент вашего урожая? 10.03.2026
Весенняя проверка семян: Почему это фундамент вашего урожая? Когда за окном начинает таять снег, у аграриев наступает критический момент. Подготовка к севу — это не только ремонт техники и закупка удобрений. Главный актив хозяйства — это семенной фонд. Многие ошибочно полагают, что если зерно выглядит чистым и сухим, оно здорово. Однако микромир патогенов гораздо коварнее. Весенняя фитоэкспертиза семян — это фундамент для будущего урожая, который позволяет избежать огромных убытков еще до начала полевых работ.Семена могут быть носителями многих заболеваний, которые визуально никак не проявляются до момента прорастания. Основные делятся на две категории: Поверхностная инфекция: Споры грибов (например, твердая головня), которые находятся на оболочке зерна.Внутренняя инфекция: Патогены, проникшие глубоко внутрь (пыльная головня, эмбрио патогены).Самые опасные болезни весеннего периода: Корневые гнили (фузариозные и гельминтоспориозные): Приводят к изреженности посевов, плохой перезимовке (для озимых) и снижению кустистости. Плесневение семян: Активируется при затяжной весне и низкой температуре почвы, буквально «съедая» проросток в земле.Головневые заболевания: Самый коварный враг, способный уничтожить товарный вид и качество зерна полностью.Почему проверку нужно делать именно весной? За время зимнего хранения состояние семян может измениться. Повышение влажности в складе или очаговое самосогревание провоцируют бурный рост грибков.Фитоэкспертиза дает ответы на главные вопросы:Какова реальная всхожесть? Болезни снижают энергию прорастания. Вы можете посеять норму, но получить в два раза меньше всходов.Какой препарат выбрать? Нет смысла использовать дорогой фунгицид от головни, если основная проблема — плесневение. Или наоборот, дешевый препарат может «не взять» глубокую внутреннюю инфекцию.Ситуация - Последствия без проверки и результат с проверкойЗаражение головней, последствия без проверки - потеря до 15-20% урожая, отказ в приемке зерна на элеватор. Результат с проверкой -точный подбор фунгицида, 100% защита колоса.Корневые гнили, результат без проверки - изреженные всходы, низкая натура зерна. Результат с проверкой -сохранение густоты стояния растений.Семена — это биологический код вашего будущего дохода. Своевременный лабораторный анализ позволяет не просто спасти урожай, но и оптимизировать затраты на химию, что в современных условиях является залогом выживания хозяйства.
