Service as a Path to a Dream: A National Guard Serviceman Fulfilled His Dream of Joining a Military Band 23.01.2026
Private Nur­daulet Zhaliev is serving in military unit 5513 of the “Oñtüstik” Regional Command of the National Guard of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Kazakhstan in the city of Taraz. He joined the army consciously and with a clear goal: his dream was to perform as part of a military band and dedicate his life to music in uniform.Nur­daulet’s passion for the stage has accompanied him since childhood. From his school years, he performed in front of audiences, sang, and confidently played the bayan. These qualities were nurtured in a large family where diligence and responsibility were instilled from an early age.After graduating from the Zhambyl Abai Humanitarian Higher College, two paths opened before him. One led to working in his specialty as a music teacher. The other required determination and belief in himself. Nur­daulet chose the path he had dreamed of since childhood.To achieve his goal, he worked hard, developed his skills, and collected the necessary documents to join a military band. However, the lack of a military ID became an obstacle, and he was not accepted into the band at that time.This did not stop the young musician. At the age of 21, he decided to enlist in the army to obtain a military ID and move closer to his dream. His parents supported him; being creative people themselves, they immediately understood that his choice was thoughtful and firm.After six months of service, Private Zhaliev proved himself confidently and earned the right to continue service under contract. From the very first days, the unit’s commanders were aware of Nur­daulet’s aspiration to perform in a military band. His determination, discipline, and attitude toward service did not go unnoticed.Today, Private Nur­daulet Zhaliev is already a musician in the military band of unit 5513. As part of the ensemble, he is mastering new musical instruments, expanding his professional skills, and continuing his creative development.The story of this guardsman once again confirms a simple truth: when a person sincerely believes in a dream and is ready to work for it, circumstances begin to fall into place. In this case, service in the National Guard became the very environment where a dream was given a chance to come true. Press Service of the National GuardMinistry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of KazakhstanSource : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/kvv/press/news/details/1147013?lang=kk

The key changes made to the Tax Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan since January 1, 2026 on the mining tax 23.01.2026
MET reduction by 10 times for minerals extracted from technogenic mineral formations (TMF)."It should be noted that under the previous version of the Tax Code, there was no dedicated article or specific calculation procedure for the taxation of solid minerals extracted from technogenic mineral formations (TMF). Consequently, pursuant to Article 783 of the Tax Code, when calculating the mineral extraction tax on solid minerals extracted from TMO, subsoil users apply a reduction coefficient of 0.1 to the rates established in Article 781."A hybrid scale has been introduced for extracted uranium, (replacing the previous fixed rate)  by incorporating both production volumes and global market prices for uranium concentrate.Under the previous version of the Tax Code, a 6% rate was applied to the tax base for uranium (extracted from production solutions via the mining method) when calculating the mineral extraction tax.The new version of the Tax Code establishes rates under Article 781 that depend on annual production volumes and the weighted average price of natural uranium concentrate.A progressive MET has been introduced for extracted gold and silver, with rates ranging from 7.5% to 11% depending on global market prices.Under the previous version of the Tax Code, a fixed 7.5% rate was applied when calculating the MET on gold and silver.Under the provisions of the New Tax Code, the rate is determined by the average over-the-counter (OTC) price and ranges from 7.5% to 11%.For instance, if the average OTC price of gold is up to and including $2,800 per troy ounce, a 7.5% rate is applied. At an average OTC price of $3,800 per troy ounce, the rate is 11%.A similar progressive scale applies to silver. For example, if the average over-the-counter (OTC) price for silver is up to and including $28 per troy ounce, the rate is 7.5%. If the average OTC price reaches $30 per troy ounce, the rate rises to 8%, and so forth."Existing capital-intensive projects in the mining industry are granted a five-year exemption from the mineral extraction tax.This provision is regulated in Article 782 of the New Tax Code.According to the norms of the article, 3 conditions must be met simultaneously in order to apply the MET exemption.1) for the commercial extraction of mineral raw materials from a group of deposits under a single subsoil use contract, a five-year exemption applies if production at a portion of the deposit commenced after December 31, 2022, subject to the conditions established by the Government of the Republic of Kazakhstan;2) if the internal rate of return  for a group of fields under a single subsoil use contract, or a portion of a field, is 15% or less.".3) the subsoil use right for a group of deposits under a single subsoil use contract—specifically for the portion of the deposit to which the mining tax rate specified in this paragraph was applied is not subject to alienation during the period this paragraph remains in effect. An exception is made for alienation in favor of an interconnected party.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/kgd-vko/press/news/details/1146893?lang=kk
