Seminar in Karakiya district to explain the new Tax Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan 17.11.2025
A seminar for taxpayers on explaining the new Tax Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan was held in the Karakiya district. The seminar addressed the issues of reducing the number of special tax regimes to three categories. The innovation will simplify tax accounting and facilitate tax administration for businesses.
