In Kazakhstan, the state strictly regulates the minimum retail prices (MRP) for tobacco products. Attempting to attract customers with discounts or selling cigarettes below the established threshold is not marketing — it is a direct administrative offense.⚠️ What Does the Law Say?Selling tobacco products below the minimum retail price (MRP) entails liability under the legislation of the Republic of Kazakhstan:Heavy Fines: The amount of the fine depends on the business category (ranging from small enterprises to large retail chains). Repeated violations significantly increase the penalty amounts.Confiscation of Products: In addition to the fine, all tobacco products sold or intended for sale in violation of the rules are subject to mandatory confiscation.Suspension or Revocation of Licenses: Systematic violations risk losing the right to sell excisable goods.📌 Current Minimum PricesThe Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Kazakhstan regularly updates the minimum price threshold for a pack of 20 cigarettes:Starting January 1, 2026 — at least 970 KZT.Starting August 1, 2026 — at least 1,060 KZT.Selling cigarettes even 1 KZT cheaper than this amount is strictly prohibited.💡 What Should Store Owners and Retailers Do?Check Your Price Tags: Ensure that no item in your tobacco inventory is priced below the official minimum threshold.Update Your POS Database: Block the ability for cashiers to manually apply discounts or lower tobacco prices at checkout.Instruct Your Staff: Cashiers must understand that selling cigarettes "at the old price" or "as a favor" exposes the business to heavy fines and product confiscation. Stay compliant with the law and protect your business from unnecessary financial losses!

When planning major purchases, many car enthusiasts and entrepreneurs only look at the dealership price tag. However, the new Tax Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan classifies high-value vehicles as excisable goods.If you plan to buy a premium vehicle, make sure to consider the following tax requirements:📌 What qualifies as a "high-end" vehicle?Passenger cars with a purchase price equal to or exceeding 18,000 times the Monthly Calculation Index (MCI, effective as of January 1 of the corresponding financial year) are subject to excise duty.📌 What are the declaration rules and deadlines?Excise Tax Return: Since a calendar month is recognized as the tax period for excise tax, taxpayers are required to independently submit an excise return to the tax authority at their location.Filing Deadlines: Reports must be submitted no later than the 15th day of the second month following the reporting tax period (for example, if a transaction occurs in August, the return must be filed by October 15).📌 Universal Declaration and Proof of IncomePurchasing a vehicle valued over 18,000 MCI will inevitably raise questions regarding the legitimacy of the funds used. When submitting your annual Income and Property Declaration (Form 270.00), you will need to verify the source of funds used to cover these expenses.Tax authorities officially utilize information from declarations and data from authorized agencies to perform comparative audits of individual income vs. expenses. As a reminder, any acquisition of property within Kazakhstan or abroad is subject to mandatory declaration if the total combined value for the reporting period exceeds 20,000 MCI.Plan your major purchases wisely and remember: timely reporting protects you from tax adjustments, late penalties, and bank account freezes! Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/kgd-zhetysu/press/news/details/1280118?lang=ru

The Department of State Revenue for the Pavlodar region reminds taxpayers applying the generally established regime (ESD) about the specifics of accounting for expenses when calculating corporate (CPN) and individual (IPN) income taxes. Since 2026, a new restriction has been introduced: expenses for the purchase of goods, works and services from counterparties applying a special tax regime (SSR) based on a simplified declaration are not deductible. According to the provisions of Article 286 of the Tax Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan (in particular, subparagraph 16 of paragraph 1), taxpayers in ESD do not have the right to deduct expenses for the purchase of goods, works and services from counterparties applying a special tax regime (SSR) based on a simplified declaration as of the date of receipt of such TRS. However, despite the current legislative ban, some companies continue to attract suppliers who apply the tax regime based on a simplified declaration, increasing tax risks. Since the beginning of 2026, more than 890 taxpayers have been registered in the Pavlodar region for ESD, who have purchased TRU from over 12 thousand suppliers for a total amount of about 20 billion tenge.In the course of analytical monitoring, business entities have been identified that show losses in millions of turnover with suppliers in the National Accounting System and thereby minimize their tax obligations. For example, LLP "A" applies a generally established regime, the number of employees is 1 person, in the first half of 2026, services were purchased from 7 taxpayers applying the tax code for a total turnover of 140 million tenge. Last year, for this taxpayer, 83% of all expenses were deductions from the SRR (a total of 36 suppliers applying the SRR), which resulted in a loss of 350 million tenge for the company by the end of the year.There are also cases when taxpayers have allowed a reduction in advance payments to the CPN, while a significant part of the costs are deductions from the CPR.Thus, with an increase in turnover of KZT 1,200 million (by 85%), LLP "B" recorded a decrease in acquisitions by KZT 700 million, including by KZT 609 million (87% of the total decrease) for suppliers using the SNR. A decrease in advance payments under the CPN was allowed by 167 million tenge.We remind you that these categories of taxpayers are subject to increased attention from the state revenue authorities.We also ask that taxpayers pay attention to the completeness of the calculation of advance corporate income tax payments for 2026. The State Revenue Committee has sent PUSH messages to taxpayers informing them about a decrease in advance payments with an increase in taxable income.What is important for taxpayers to knowThe norm is regulated by Article 286 of the Tax Code (Non-deductible expenses). These expenses are reflected in accounting as part of expenses, however, they do not reduce taxable income when forming tax reports (income tax returns).The ban applies only to counterparties on simplified payment. Expenses related to transactions with payers of other tax regimes are deductible in accordance with the generally established procedure if all supporting documents are available.The Department of Internal Affairs of the Pavlodar region urges entrepreneurs to be attentive to the execution of transactions and to correctly prepare tax reports in order to avoid violations and additional charges.Office of desk monitoringState Duma of the Pavlodar regionSource : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/kgd-pavlodar/press/news/details/1279975?lang=ru

25 August 2026 - The United Nations Security Council held a high-level open debate on “Food under fire: The Security Council’s role in mitigating global and local food crises,” chaired by Danish Minister for Foreign Affairs Lars Rasmussen.In his statement, Permanent Representative of the Republic of Kazakhstan to the United Nations Ambassador Kairat Umarov noted that armed conflicts remain the principal driver of acute food insecurity worldwide, which, in turn, contributes to instability, forced displacement and repeated cycles of violence.The Permanent Representative paid particular attention to UN Security Council resolution 2417 (2018) on the link between armed conflict and hunger. Kazakhstan, which actively contributed to the Council’s work and negotiations leading to its unanimous adoption during its membership in the Security Council in 2017-2018, called for greater focus on the resolution’s practical implementation.Ambassador Umarov emphasized that today’s food security challenges extend far beyond the immediate areas of hostilities. Disruptions to transport corridors, energy markets, fertilizer supplies and agricultural trade have particularly severe consequences for food-importing countries, including developing and landlocked developing countries. In this regard, Kazakhstan called for preserving resilient, open and predictable global supply chains.Strengthening regional cooperation in Central Asia, including in support of Afghanistan’s long-term recovery, was identified as one of the priorities. It was emphasized that strengthening Afghanistan’s food security and agricultural capacity, as well as its integration into regional economic and transport networks, is essential for improving the lives of the Afghan people and fostering long-term regional stability.In this context, the role of the UN Regional Centre for the Sustainable Development Goals for Central Asia and Afghanistan in Almaty was highlighted. The Centre is expected to serve as an important platform for advancing regional cooperation in sustainable agriculture, food security, climate resilience and coordinated international support for Afghanistan.Kazakhstan also reaffirmed its commitment to strengthening international cooperation through the Islamic Organization for Food Security, headquartered in Astana. The Kazakh side encouraged closer cooperation between the Organization and relevant UN agencies, including the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, the World Food Programme and the International Fund for Agricultural Development.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/mfa-kazakhstanun/press/news/details/1279963?lang=ru

The Fund's services help citizens not only accumulate the necessary funds for a decent retirement but also actively participate in financial planning for their future. The UAPF provides various digital services to Kazakhstanis and continues to develop them, adapting to customer needs.
