Commissioner for Human Rights Artur Lastayev addressed a plenary session on the rule of law at the OSCE ODIHR Warsaw Human Dimension Conference.In his remarks, the Ombudsman highlighted the strengthening of fundamental rights and freedoms as one of the key outcomes of Kazakhstan’s constitutional reform. For the first time in the country’s constitutional history, the Miranda rule has been expressly enshrined in the Constitution. The presumption of innocence, the right against self-incrimination and the protection against double jeopardy have also been incorporated into the section of the Constitution dedicated to human rights, reinforcing safeguards designed to provide effective protection of individual rights.Artur Lastayev also outlined measures aimed at improving access to justice. Dedicated cassation courts were established in 2025, with cassation appeals now heard by a panel of judges in proceedings involving the parties to the case.Administrative justice has also become an important mechanism for resolving disputes between individuals and public authorities. The digitalization of court proceedings and the automated allocation of cases provide additional safeguards for accessible and impartial justice.Concluding his remarks, Artur Lastayev noted that the ongoing reforms are gradually building a stronger framework of legal safeguards centered on the individual and the right to effective judicial protection.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/ombudsman/press/news/details/1308266?lang=ru

CASE STUDY: IS IT POSSIBLE TO WORK WITHOUT AN INDIVIDUAL ENTREPRENEUR IN 2026?Let's say a citizen provides services independently and earns income. He has no employees.Is it necessary to register an individual entrepreneur?Not always. In 2026, a special tax regime for the self-employed is provided for individuals, subject to the established conditions.Basic conditions:an individual is not an individual entrepreneur;does not use the labor of hired workers;carries out the permitted type of activity;income does not exceed the established limit of 300 MCI per month.When applying the regime, no individual income tax is paid, and social payments amount to 4% of income.However, before choosing this mode, you need to make sure that your type of activity is included in the list of permitted activities and that all the established conditions are met.Do you want to know if the self-employed regime is suitable for your type of activity? Write it in the comments.#Ddkostanay #Tax2026 #Self-employed #SNR #Tax Code2026 #KostanaySource : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/kgd-kostanay/press/news/details/1308175?lang=ru

According to Article 484 of the Tax Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan, an adjustment to the amount of value-added tax offset is an increase or decrease in the amount of value-added tax offset in the cases established by this article and Article 485 of the Tax Code.The amount of value-added tax offset is reduced for goods, works, and services for which value-added tax was previously offset, in particular in accordance with subparagraph 7 of paragraph 2 of Article 484 of the Tax Code for agricultural products, fish farming or commercial fishing products used for taxable turnover at a zero rate.. In this case, the amount of value-added tax offset is adjusted by reducing 80 percent of the amount of value-added tax offset for agricultural products, fish farming or commercial fishing products used for taxable turnover at a zero rate.However, according to the explanations of the Ministry of National Economy, taking into account the provisions of the Law of the Republic of Kazakhstan "On State Regulation of the development of the agro-industrial complex and rural areas" dated July 8, 2005 No. 66, in the case of exports of products resulting from the processing of agricultural raw materials, this adjustment is not applied. For example, when exporting flour, VAT refunds are carried out in accordance with the generally established procedure in full, subject to compliance with the requirements of tax legislation, since flour belongs to processed products.#Заң_мен_тәртіп#Закон_и_порядокSource : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/kgd-sko/press/news/details/1308134?lang=ru

CASE STUDY: IF YOU SOLD AN APARTMENT IN 2026, DO YOU NEED TO PAY TAXES?Let's look at a specific example.Situation:A citizen purchased an apartment in 2026 for 25 million tenge. After 1 year, he decided to sell it for 30 million tenge.Is there a tax liability?Yes. If the apartment was registered in ownership after January 1, 2026 and is sold before the expiration of 2 years, property income arises if there is an increase in value.How is revenue calculated?30 million ₸ is the cost of the sale25 million — — acquisitioncost 5 million ₸ - cost increaseIt is this difference that is the income from the increase in value, and not the entire amount of the sale.If the income is within the appropriate threshold, the IPN rate of 10 is applied.%In our example:5,000,000 × 10% = 500,000 tenge IPN.But there is an important transitional moment!If the ownership of the apartment was registered before January 1, 2026, the previous period of 1 year is applied for exemption from taxation during the transition period.If the ownership is registered after January 1, 2026, a period of 2 years applies.If property income has arisen as a result of the sale, an individual must submit a declaration of 270.00. For income received in 2026, the declaration is submitted no later than September 15, 2027, and the personal income tax is paid no later than September 25, 2027.Important: the rules differ depending on the date of registration of ownership, the type of real estate and the method of its acquisition.For example, separate rules apply if the property was inherited or donated.And if you bought an apartment in 2025 and sold it in 2026, will there be a tax?Keep an eye on the heading "Tax case" — let's look at the following example.#DGDCostanay #Tax2026 #Tax code2026 #Real Estate #Apartment Sales #IPN #Taxcase #KostanaySource : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/kgd-kostanay/press/news/details/1308152?lang=ru

This year, seven graduates of a college in Astana decided to undertake compulsory military service in the National Guard of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Kazakhstan. All seven trained as paramedics. They are currently at the training center of Military Unit 5571 in Almaty, where they are learning the fundamentals of military service and preparing to take the Military Oath.The initiative came from Private Kadirzhan Baitenov. He was the first to visit the military enlistment office and undergo a medical examination before inviting his former classmates to join him in serving.Private Duman Korganbayev also supported the idea. At the time, he was in Shymkent. When he learned that his friends were preparing to join the army, he bought a ticket to Astana and went to the military enlistment office that same day. Thus, the seven former classmates found themselves together again — this time in military uniform.Today, the Guardsmen are undergoing basic military training. They are adapting to army routines, learning drill techniques and mastering the fundamentals of military service. According to them, having familiar faces around helps them adjust to their new environment more quickly.“We have known each other for a long time, so we feel more confident here. We can always turn to one another for help. Serving together is interesting because we have people to share both everyday moments and the first challenges of military life with,” says Private Almas Bolysbek.When asked why they chose the National Guard, the servicemen point to its modern service conditions. They were particularly interested in the digitalization of processes within the law and order troops, the use of intelligent video surveillance systems and modern technologies applied to organizing servicemen’s meals.The seven classmates still have many months of service ahead of them. After completing their training, they will carry out public order and security duties in Almaty.For some of them, service in the law and order troops may mark the beginning of a professional career. Several servicemen are already considering continuing their service in the Military Medical Department, where they could apply the knowledge they gained in college in a military setting. Press Service of the National Guard of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of KazakhstanSource : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/kvv/press/news/details/1308013?lang=ru

По данным Национального Банка, в  I полугодии 2026 года текущий счет платежного баланса Казахстана сложился с профицитом 2,4 млрд долларов, или 1,6% ВВП.Для сравнения: по итогам 2025 года дефицит текущего счета составлял 13,1 млрд долларов. Основным фактором улучшения стало опережение темпов роста экспорта над импортом.Что означает профицит текущего счетаТекущий счет платежного баланса отражает внешнеэкономические операции страны, включая торговлю товарами и услугами, а также движение доходов и текущих трансфертов.Профицит означает, что поступления по текущим операциям превышают выплаты за рубеж. Это снижает потребность экономики во внешнем финансировании.Динамика платежного балансаВ течение 2016–2025 годов текущий счет Казахстана был дефицитным в девяти из десяти лет. Средний дефицит составлял около 2,7% ВВП. При этом торговля товарами ежегодно обеспечивала профицит, значительная часть которого компенсировалась выплатами доходов иностранным инвесторам.После профицита в 6,4 млрд долларов в 2022 году текущий счет вновь стал дефицитным: 8,3 млрд долларов в 2023 году, 6,8 млрд — в 2024 году и 13,1 млрд — в 2025 году. На результат 2025 года повлияли снижение цен на нефть и высокий объем импорта.В I полугодии 2026 года сальдо текущего счета улучшилось почти на 6 млрд долларов: с дефицита 3,6 млрд долларов годом ранее до профицита 2,4 млрд долларов. Основное улучшение пришлось на II квартал, когда профицит составил 3,2 млрд долл. США.Таким образом, после трех дефицитных лет текущий счет вновь вышел в положительную зону.Значение профицита для экономикиУвеличивается приток валюты в экономику. В I полугодии ключевую роль сыграло расширение товарного профицита более чем в 2 раза – с 7,7 до 16,2 млрд долл. США. Превышение экспортных поступлений над расходами по импорту, услугам и доходам позволяет в большей степени покрывать внешние расходы собственными валютными доходами, снижая зависимость от внешних заимствований и притока капитала. Уменьшение потребности во внешнем финансировании  снижает уязвимость экономики  к оттоку иностранного капитала и ухудшению условий на мировых финансовых рынках.Укрепляется внешняя устойчивость. Устойчивое предложение валюты от экспортеров снижает давление на валютный рынок и создает условия для накопления внешних активов. Роль государства в формировании платежного балансаГосударство влияет на состояние платежного баланса через управление внешними финансовыми ресурсами, создание условий для инвестиций и проведение экономической политики.Прямое участие связано с управлением резервными активами Национального Банка, средствами Национального фонда и внешними заимствованиями. Косвенное — с формированием инвестиционного климата, привлечением прямых иностранных инвестиций, денежно-кредитной и валютной политикой. Экспорт: рост поставок и увеличение несырьевой составляющейПо данным Нацбанка, в I полугодии 2026 года экспорт товаров по методологии платежного баланса вырос на 27,1%, до 48,5 млрд долларов. Положительная динамика отмечена более чем по 80% товарных позиций.По данным Бюро национальной статистики, за этот же период увеличились поставки меди и медных катодов на 58%, медных руд и концентратов — на 42,9%, урана — на 15,1%, пшеницы — на 28,2%. Экспорт серы вырос в 2,9 раза, серебра — в 2,4 раза.По итогам семи месяцев рост продолжился: экспорт товаров увеличился на 15,8%, до 50,9 млрд долларов. Положительное сальдо внешней торговли достигло 14 млрд долларов, превысив прошлогодний показатель на 5,4 млрд долларов.На фоне роста обрабатывающей промышленности на 9% несырьевой экспорт увеличился на 19,5%, до 18,6 млрд долларов.Экспорт сельскохозяйственной продукции вырос на 34,8%, с 3,7 до 5 млрд долларов. Основной вклад обеспечили пшеница (+25,5%), подсолнечное масло (+49,1%), корма для животных (+68,2%), семена льна (рост в 2,2 раза) и мука (+37,1%). На эти позиции приходится около 60% аграрного экспорта. Импорт: увеличение закупок для производства при снижении потребительского ввозаВ I полугодии 2026 года рост импорта сопровождался изменением его структуры: увеличились закупки оборудования и промежуточных товаров, тогда как ввоз потребительских товаров сократился. Сопоставление данных Национального Банка и БНС показывает, что такая динамика совпадает с расширением инвестиций и выпуска в обрабатывающей промышленности.По данным Бюро национальной статистики, импорт товаров вырос на 5,5%, до 31,5 млрд долларов. Почти половину его объема — 47,6% — составили промежуточные товары. Их импорт увеличился на 14%, до 15 млрд долларов. Доля потребительских товаров составила 26,5%, снизившись на 10,5%.  При этом импорт потребительских непродовольственных товаров в первом полугодии  снизился на 15,4%, составив 5,6 млрд долл. США.По методологии платежного баланса Национального Банка импорт увеличился на 6,2%, до 32,3 млрд долларов. Темпы роста импорта были более чем в четыре раза ниже темпов роста экспорта. По оценке Нацбанка, закупки промежуточных товаров выросли на 13,8%, а импорт непродовольственных потребительских товаров сократился на 11,2%.Импорт инвестиционных товаровИмпорт инвестиционных товаров вырос на 10,6%, до 8,1 млрд долл. США. Увеличение закупок оборудования сопровождается ростом капитальных вложений в промышленность. В частности, вырос импорт электрогенераторных установок на 83%, машин и устройств для подъема, перемещения, погрузки и разгрузки – на 70,1%, оборудования для сортировки и измельчения грунта — в 2,1 раза.Импорт промежуточных товаровРост закупок производственных ресурсов обеспечен увеличением импорта природного газа на 96,3%, турбореактивных двигателей и газовых турбин — в 2,7 раза, нефтепродуктов — на 41,6%, урана — в 2,6 раза и золота — в 6 раз.Производственную направленность закупок подтверждает динамика капитальных вложений. По данным БНС, инвестиции в основной капитал увеличились в реальном выражении на 9,6%, до 9,5 трлн тенге. В обрабатывающей промышленности рост составил 33,3%, до 1,43 трлн тенге, или 15% общего объема инвестиций.Одновременно выпуск обрабатывающей промышленности увеличился на 9,8%, машиностроения — на 23,1%, химической промышленности — на 20,7%.Увеличение импорта оборудования связано в том числе со строительством новых предприятий, расширением действующих производств и технологическим обновлением. Экономический эффект таких вложений проявляется по мере ввода новых мощностей.Импорт потребительских товаров В I полугодии импорт потребительских товаров снизился на 10,5%, до 8,3 млрд долларов. Сократились поставки легковых автомобилей на 21,9%, лекарственных средств — на 18,7%, чемоданов и сумок — на 49,4%, женской текстильной одежды — на 38,9%, кондиционеров — на 34,3%.По данным Национального Банка, снижение импорта непродовольственных потребительских товаров продолжается 11 кварталов подряд, начиная с IV квартала 2023 года.Сокращение ввоза легковых автомобилей происходит на фоне роста отечественного производства. В январе–июне выпуск легковых автомобилей увеличился на 37,2%, до 88 886 единиц, при сохранении продаж в официальном дилерском сегменте. Это указывает на частичное замещение импорта отечественной сборкой.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/economy/press/news/details/1307884?lang=ru
