The history of independent Kazakhstan began with an important event that marked a turning point on the path to statehood.On October 25, 1990, the Supreme Council of the Kazakh SSR adopted the Declaration of State Sovereignty. This historic document established the principle of the supremacy of republican authority within the territory of Kazakhstan and laid the legal foundation for the further development of an independent state.In 1995, October 25 was first granted the status of a national holiday, and in 2001, Republic Day was designated as a state holiday.In June 2022, at a meeting of the National Kurultai, President of the Republic of Kazakhstan Kassym-Jomart Tokayev proposed restoring Republic Day’s status as a national holiday. In the same year, the holiday once again took a special place in the country’s calendar.     Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/kgd-astana/press/news/details/1315398?lang=ru

Prime Minister of Kazakhstan Olzhas Bektenov attended a collective meeting of President of Tajikistan Emomali Rahmon with heads of delegations of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization member states and meetings of the SCO Council of Heads of Government in narrow and expanded formats in Dushanbe.The SCO Council meeting was attended by leaders and representatives of the governments of Belarus, India, Iran, China, Kyrgyzstan, Pakistan, Russia, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan, as well as representatives of Mongolia and Turkmenistan as guests of the host country, along with heads of permanent bodies and public organizations of the SCO.In a narrow format, an exchange of views took place on the development of trade, economic, cultural, and humanitarian cooperation aimed at improving SCO activities. It was emphasized that the scale of the SCO economies, geographic connectivity, and complementarity of industrial capacities allow setting more ambitious goals. Attention was focused on building sustainable supply chains, launching joint industrial projects, and strengthening transport connectivity. The Kazakh side raised issues of energy and water security, including the implementation of the Strategy for Development of Energy Cooperation until 2030 and the establishment of the SCO Water Problems Analysis Center.During the expanded-format meeting of the SCO Council of Heads of Government, issues regarding the further development of economic and humanitarian cooperation were reviewed, including through leveraging the potential of international partners. A report on the activities of the SCO Business Council and the SCO Interbank Consortium for 2025–2026 was presented.It was noted that the SCO has established itself as an authoritative international structure possessing significant economic, human, and resource potential. In the rapidly changing international environment, the ability of states to adapt to new realities in a timely manner acquires special significance.“Kazakhstan, under the leadership of President Kassym-Jomart Kemelevich Tokayev, is implementing a comprehensive program of political and economic modernization of the country. In July of this year, the new Constitution came into force, aimed at building a Just and Strong Kazakhstan. The steady development of each of our states strengthens the potential of the entire Shanghai Cooperation Organization. The scale of the SCO's economic opportunities is hard to overestimate. Our region represents one of the key hubs of the global economy, encompassing major manufacturing, energy, food, and consumer markets. I am confident that joining the efforts of our countries will provide additional impetus to the further expansion of trade and economic ties,” Olzhas Bektenov emphasized.In his speech, the Prime Minister of Kazakhstan highlighted practical measures for expanding mutual trade, developing transport and logistics infrastructure, enhancing digital connectivity, and introducing artificial intelligence technologies.Within trade and economic cooperation, the importance of further removing barriers and simplifying trade procedures was noted. Kazakhstan, as chair of the SCO Special Working Group, is systematically working to increase transparency, digitalization, and unification of all processes. An important area is the implementation of agreements to expand the use of national currencies in mutual settlements: their share in cross-border payments between the Republic of Kazakhstan and SCO member states has already reached almost 70%.In transport connectivity, Kazakhstan proposed establishing a systematic dialogue on integrating the Belt and Road Initiative with existing and prospective transport corridors in the region, as well as defining key targets for forming a unified transport system in the Transport Connectivity Strategy until 2035. As part of implementing the Action Plan for the Development of SCO Ports and Logistics Centers until 2030, it was proposed to step up joint work on modernizing seaports and dry ports and increasing their capacity. One of the platforms for practical cooperation could be the Trans-Caspian International Transport Route, with traffic volumes planned to reach 10 million tons per year.In digitalization, prospects for expanding cooperation in artificial intelligence and exchanging technological solutions were discussed. Kazakhstan's experience in developing the digital economy was outlined.“Implementing the Digital Qazaqstan strategy, we set a course toward building an advanced digital economy and an AI regional hub. In the last 5 years alone, our IT service exports have grown 34 times, reaching $1.1 billion. These are impressive figures that reflect the growing competitiveness of Kazakhstani digital solutions. We are determined to sustain these results and continue offering our services as a digital hub across the SCO space,” Prime Minister Olzhas Bektenov noted.Kazakhstan proposed using the potential of the UN ESCAP Asian and Pacific Centre for Digital Solutions in Almaty for technology exchange and scaling. An initiative to create a Network of Artificial Intelligence Centers under the SCO auspices was also voiced, aimed at uniting the technological and expert potential of member states.Meeting participants confirmed their commitment to further strengthening multilateral cooperation within the SCO and readiness for the practical implementation of agreed decisions and documents.Following the meeting of the SCO Council of Heads of Government, a number of documents were signed in multilateral trade and economic cooperation, transport communications, and the implementation of investment projects in industrial cooperation, among others. These included a Council decision on the Concept for creating a digital platform of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization for the development of international multimodal freight transport.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/mfa-dushanbe/press/news/details/1315370?lang=ru

Control of the customs value of goods is one of the key areas of work of customs authorities, since the amount of duties, taxes and other mandatory payments depends on this value. At the same time, verification of documents and information is not carried out for every declaration: customs uses a risk management system to identify potential violations and at the same time not create unnecessary barriers to bona fide business.One of the key areas of customs control is the control of the customs value of goods, since it is the customs value that is the basis for calculating customs duties, taxes and other mandatory payments.When is the verification of documents and information scheduled?An additional check is assigned if there are signs of a possible false declaration. The main conditions for it are:- Inconsistencies in the submitted documents;- Noticeable deviation of the stated price from the cost of identical or similar goods;- Lack of documentary evidence of individual components of the customs value;- Other circumstances indicating possible violations of customs legislation.Special attention is paid to the structure of the customs value: it is checked whether the costs of transportation, insurance, royalties and other mandatory charges are correctly included.How to avoid repeated inspections during regular deliveriesThe EAEU customs legislation provides for mechanisms to simplify administrative procedures. In particular, verification may not be carried out if you import identical goods under the same foreign trade agreement, but for a previous similar delivery, the customs authority has already confirmed the value using the transaction value method for imported goods (Method 1).To apply this mechanism, the following conditions must be met simultaneously:1. Single contract: goods are imported under the same foreign trade agreement as the previously verified shipment.2. A single method: the cost is determined by the same method – by the transaction price of imported goods (Method 1).3. The conditions remain unchanged: the key parameters of the transaction (the price of the goods, commercial and terms of delivery, the settlement procedure) remain the same.4. Absence of new factors: there are no new circumstances that can affect the cost or raise doubts about the accuracy of the information provided.5. Reference to the previous declaration: the new declaration should contain information about the previously completed delivery.This allows the customs authority to quickly compare the data and refrain from carrying out additional verification measures.The main thing that the declarant needs to consider isExemption from verification is not unconditional. If the risk management system identifies new risk factors or there is evidence of possible unreliability of information, an audit will be scheduled even if all formal conditions are met.This approach makes it possible to focus control measures on shipments that show signs of risk, while simultaneously speeding up customs clearance for bona fide participants in foreign economic activity.Thus, the application of a risk management system ensures a balance between effective customs control and the creation of favorable conditions for conducting foreign economic activity, as well as contributes to increasing transparency and predictability of customs administration.#Zamen_tartip_the Law_and_ Order   Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/kgd-pavlodar/press/news/details/1315372?lang=ru

Dear taxpayers,​We analyze the key rules of taxation when making transactions with digital assets.​The tax is not paid on the entire sale amount, but only on the increase in value (net profit) — that is, on the difference between the sale price and the purchase price of a digital asset. This difference, according to paragraph 2 of Article 389 of the Tax Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan, will be income from transactions with digital assets.​For the correct calculation of tax liabilities, the cost of acquiring a digital asset must be documented.​IMPORTANT: if it is not possible to document the cost of acquiring digital assets, then according to paragraph 6 of Article 389 of the Tax Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan, the initial cost is assumed to be zero. In this case, the tax will have to be paid on the entire sale amount.#Zamen_tartip_the Law_and_ Order#The legal order#commentartypSource : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/kgd-sko/press/news/details/1315156?lang=ru
