A pilot project for confectionery labeling began in Kazakhstan on June 1, 2026, and will run until June 1, 2027. This is the latest step in the country's digital product traceability policy, designed to protect the market from counterfeiting and increase supply chain transparency.Leading industry companies have already joined the project. Domestic producers include Bayan Sulu LLC and Lotte Rakhat LLC, while importers include Mars Kazakhstan LLC, Ferrero Kazakhstan LLC, Mondelez Kazakhstan LLC, and Nestlé Food Kazakhstan LLC. According to the Atameken National Chamber of Entrepreneurs, Bayan Sulu and Rakhat together account for approximately 50% of domestic confectionery production, and including imports, approximately 30% of the total market. This makes the pilot project highly representative and ensures the participation of key industry players.In accordance with the EAEU agreement, the following main categories of confectionery products are subject to labeling: sugar confectionery, chocolate and chocolate products, cookies, wafers, flour confectionery, marmalade, jams, fruit and nut spreads, and other products.The pilot phase aims to identify technical and organizational risks, assess the need for refinement of business processes, and formulate proposals for improving the regulatory framework. Participants will have the opportunity to freely test the functionality of the labeling and traceability information system, practice integrating the labeling tool with production and logistics processes, and test various methods of applying codes to products.Digital labeling is designed to protect consumers from counterfeit and illegal products, increase supply chain transparency, ensure fair competition, and create conditions for industry development. A decision on introducing mandatory labeling will be made based on the pilot project's results and proposals from market participants.Mandatory labeling in Kazakhstan is already in effect for footwear, tobacco products, pharmaceuticals, beer, motor oil, and saiga derivatives. Labeling of dietary supplements is planned for September of this year, and for light industry goods and jewelry in December. Pilot projects for labeling liquefied gas in household cylinders and wood have already been completed, and pilot projects for labeling vegetable oil, household chemicals, and cosmetics are underway.To join the pilot project, manufacturers, importers, and other participants must submit an application to the Single Operator for Labeling and Traceability of Goods at info@digitaleconomy.kz.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/mti/press/news/details/1249665?lang=ru

The Department of State Revenue for the Mangystau region explains the new rules for taxation of income from property appreciation. Now the tax is paid only on the actual profit, and not on the full amount of the sale. This is an important change aimed at fairer taxation. A new Tax Code has been in force in Kazakhstan since January 1, 2026. The rules have changed — we disassemble without excess water.The main rule is that the tax is paid only on profits.Not the entire sale amount is taxed, but only the difference between the purchase price and the sale price. For example, if you bought an apartment for 20 million tenge and sold it for 25 million, the tax is calculated only from 5 million tenge. REAL ESTATE: apartments, houses, cottages, garages, parking lotsTenure is a key factor:To be exempt from tax, real estate must have been owned for at least 2 years (instead of the previous 1 year). Important: This rule applies only to properties purchased starting January 1, 2026. If the property was purchased before 2026, the old rule remains: if owned for more than 1 year, no tax is paid.Tax rates from 2026 are progressive:The base rate remains 10%, but for profits over 8,500 MCI (about 36.7 million tenge), a rate of 15% is applied for the excess amount.The increased rate is calculated only from the amount exceeding the threshold, and not from the entire profit on the transaction.Example: Bought for 30 million, sold for 35 million → profit of 5 million tenge → tax will be 500,000 tenge (10% of 5 million). CAR and other movable propertyThe rules are different here. Property income from the increase in value upon sale of a car arises if the vehicle was owned for less than 1 year from the date of registration to the date of sale. The bid is 10% of the difference between the sale and purchase price.Have you owned a car for more than a year? There is no tax. Declaration: do not forget to submit!The seller is required to file a tax return on form 270.00 before September 15 of the year following the year of sale. That is, if sold in 2025, the deadline for submission is September 15, 2026. Foreigners — separate rulesForeigners always pay 15%, regardless of the period of ownership. The Department of State Revenue for the Mangystau region recommends that you save this material and carefully calculate the tax consequences before making transactions. Each situation is individual and may depend on specific circumstances. (Unofficial translation)Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/kgd-mangistau/press/news/details/1249554?lang=ru

It's a modern space focused on developing digital literacy and enabling independent access to government services. The new center aims to make citizen interaction with government services even more convenient, fast, and comfortable.The grand opening was attended by Arman Kenzhegaliyev, Chairman of the Board of the State Corporation "Government for Citizens," and Nurbol Turashbekov, Deputy Akim of the Turkestan Region.The digital PSC is a modern space providing all the necessary conditions for independent access to government services and digital skills training. The Smart Point concept aims to foster a new culture of public service delivery, where citizens don't simply request a service, but independently utilize digital government services, receiving the necessary advisory support."The opening of Smart Point in Turkestan is not simply the launch of a new format PSC, but an important step in developing a culture of independent access to government services. Today, our goal is not only to provide citizens with high-quality service but also to help them confidently utilize the government's digital capabilities. "I am confident that Smart Point will become a sought-after platform for residents of the region," noted Arman Kenzhegaliev, Chairman of the Board of the State Corporation."Head of State Kassym-Jomart Tokayev set the goal of maximally simplifying and digitalizing the delivery of government services.

In accordance with the Civil Service Development Concept of the Republic of Kazakhstan for 2024–2029, one of the key areas for improving the state apparatus is enhancing the efficiency, timeliness, and transparency of HR processes. The concept includes measures to reduce recruitment timelines, simplify competitive procedures, digitalize processes, and create conditions for attracting qualified specialists to the civil service.As part of these objectives, a new selection procedure for Corps B administrative government positions was introduced in Kazakhstan on April 1, 2026. The reform aims to improve HR processes, reduce the timeframe for competitive procedures, and create more convenient conditions for citizens wishing to enter the civil service.This approach significantly simplifies citizen participation in competitive selection and creates conditions for the formation of a stable pool of candidates ready to quickly apply for vacant civil service positions.The initial results of the new mechanism's implementation already demonstrate its relevance and effectiveness. In April of this year, 79 vacancies for administrative government positions were announced in the Kostanay region, accounting for 25% of the total number of available positions.The largest number of vacancies were in the E-R-4 categories (26 vacancies (33%)) and E-G-3 (19 vacancies (25%)), demonstrating the demand for executive-level specialists and the active implementation of competitive procedures for staffing government agencies.A total of 99 candidates participated in the competitive procedures. Of these, 31 were new to government service, 42 were former government employees, and 26 were current government employees. This confirms the high interest in government service from both new applicants and specialists with public sector experience.High activity in posting competitive advertisements was observed in the Zhitikarinsky, Karabalyksky, Mendykarinsky, Fyodorovsky, and Sarykolsky districts, demonstrating the consistent efforts of government agencies to attract personnel and fill vacant positions.The introduction of the new selection procedure is an important stage in the implementation of the Civil Service Development Concept of the Republic of Kazakhstan for 2024–2029 and is aimed at developing a professional, open, and customer-oriented government apparatus.The new selection process already allows for faster filling of vacant positions, expanding the pool of potential candidates, and ensuring equal access for citizens to civil service. This creates a solid foundation for the further development of a modern and effective public administration system.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/kostanai-mendykarin-audany-akimat/press/news/details/1249464?lang=ru
