An updated plan for the development of road infrastructure in the Bereke microdistrict has been presented 09.12.2025
A working meeting on the road infrastructure of the Bereke microdistrict was held today. According to calculations, in the future the population of the district will reach 20 thousand people, while more than half of the territory is already inhabited. The main problem is the insufficient capacity of existing roads.The authorities reported that a fundamental decision was made this year to temporarily suspend construction and make adjustments to the project. The main goal is to adapt the transport scheme to the actual load and ensure safe and convenient movement.According to the updated parameters, the width of individual streets will be increased: from 4 to 7 meters, from 6 to 7 meters, and in key directions — from 6 to 14 meters. It is also planned to build a new street behind the Zhaily Mektep school, transfer and dismantle part of the fences to optimize flows, create parking and entrances to the school under construction. The decisions on the organization of traffic at the junction between Kostanay Plaza and the Tobyl Arena will be reviewed.The project adjustment should cover all necessary technical solutions. The state examination is scheduled for March 2026. After its completion, a phased expansion of the main streets will begin in sync with the construction of residential buildings.In addition, the authorities promise to ensure full-fledged landscaping of the territory.

SRC clarifies the procedure for taxation of income of non-resident legal entities from the provision of services outside the Republic of Kazakhstan 09.12.2025
The State Revenue Committee clarifies the procedure for taxation of income of foreign companies derived from the provision of services outside the Republic of Kazakhstan.According to the Tax Code, a non-resident is obliged to pay tax in Kazakhstan if it derives income from sources in the Republic of Kazakhstan.The list of such income is defined by Article 644 of the Tax Code.Income from sources in Kazakhstan includes: works and services performed in the territory of the Republic of Kazakhstan (subparagraph 2) paragraph 1 of Article 644); management, financial, consulting, engineering, marketing, audit and legal services provided by a non-resident outside Kazakhstan (subparagraph 3) paragraph 1 of Article 644).If the activities of the non-resident do not result in the formation of a permanent establishment in the Republic of Kazakhstan, such income: is subject to corporate income tax withheld at source (CIT at source), without deductions, at the rate of 20%.The tax is withheld by the customer company in Kazakhstan acting as a tax agent.Pursuant to subparagraph 11) paragraph 9 of Article 645 of the Tax Code, income from works and services performed entirely outside Kazakhstan is not subject to taxation, except for the income specified in subparagraphs 3), 4) and 5) of paragraph 1 of Article 644 of the Tax Code.That is:✔ if a non-resident provides services only abroad;✔ and such services do not fall under the special categories specified in the Tax Code;→ such income is not subject to taxation in Kazakhstan.What does this mean for business? Foreign companies operating in Kazakhstan or providing services to Kazakhstani customers must consider where the services are actually performed. If the services are performed in Kazakhstan, the customer withholds tax at source. If the services are provided entirely outside Kazakhstan and the income from such services does not relate to the special types of income specified in subparagraphs 3), 4) and 5) of paragraph 1 of Article 644 of the Tax Code, the tax is not applied. These rules ensure clarity, prevent double taxation and promote fair business practices.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/kgd/press/news/details/1122296?lang=kk

Karaganda opens "personal office" for exports in China 09.12.2025
Karaganda region has opened its "personal office" in China - a representative office based on QazTrade infrastructure in Urumqi.During the working trip of regional akim Ermaganbeta Bulekpaeva to China, a tripartite memorandum was signed between Akimatom, SPK "Saryarka" and QazTrade. After that, the regional representative office was opened in the QazTrade office and showroom in Urumqi."This solution is not simply an extension of external relations. It changes the approach to work with the world's largest market and forms a new standard for Kazakhstan's regional presence in China. Trade between Kazakhstan and China is growing, but the potential of the regions is not fully revealed. "Cooperation of regional productions strengthens Kazakhstan's country presence in China," says General Director of QazTrade Aitmuhammed Aldazharov.In January-October 2025, mutual trade between Kazakhstan and China amounted to $39.8 billion, increasing by 8.8% compared to the same period in 2024.• Exports: $15.8 billion (+18%)• Imports: $24.0 billion (+3.6%)• Trade balance: improved from -$9.8 billion to -$8.2 billionWhy this step became iconicDespite the active growth of trade between Kazakhstan and China, regional exports have been developing sporadically for a long time. The company entered the Chinese market sporadically, without systematic support on the spot. Most often, promising niches were occupied by large or foreign players.New competition between the regions of KazakhstanNow opening a representative office in Urumqi creates a new reality:• The best niche borrowers will be the first to go to China. Polki, distributor and investors are distributed among early players.• Chinese investors choose regions with a real presence. For them, the office is an indicator of seriousness of intentions and willingness to work for a long time.• Regional export becomes an independent task. Now each region can form its share of the Chinese market through its own representative office.Erkhan Yerkin, the official representative of QazTrade in China, has already told what is important to do in other regions:• use the infrastructure and support of QazTrade;• determine the export portfolio: top-20 goods, ready-made products, volume, certification;• to form high-quality investment projects for submission to Chinese partners;• transitions from formal visits to effective B2B missions with clear KPIs.In the future, it is planned to scale this model to other socio-entrepreneurial corporations and regions of Kazakhstan to strengthen the export potential of the regions. The opening of the representative office of SPK "Saryarka" is not a one-time action, but the beginning of a new model of regional integration of Kazakhstan into the Chinese market.China is moving to a decentralized model of trade, where provinces and cities play a key role, forming their own procurement plans and working directly with foreign suppliers. In order for the region of Kazakhstan to participate in these processes, it needs a physical presence in the PRC, a local negotiation channel, access to procurement structures and operational work with local partners.Karaganda region has already integrated into this new architecture of cooperation, setting the pace for other regions. Who will join next?Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/mti/press/news/details/1122126?lang=kk
