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. Self-employed citizens are given the opportunity to legally receive incomes of up to 4080 MCI per year without having to pay individual income tax, limited by social contributions in the amount of 4% of income. A special tax regime has been established for small businesses with a maximum rate of 4%, which is reduced to 2% if certain conditions are met. These measures are aimed at reducing the burden on entrepreneurs and increasing the transparency of the tax system.The new Tax Code significantly simplifies the activities of entrepreneurs, reduces the amount of reporting by about a third, and the declaration is submitted once a year. Control over compliance with the rules is carried out through an automated risk assessment system, and the accounts of enterprises with minor debts are no longer automatically blocked. All these measures make doing business more comfortable and stimulate economic development.Thus, the new tax rules contribute to creating favorable conditions for the development of the private sector, minimizing administrative obstacles and increasing confidence in the tax system of Kazakhstan.During the event, representatives of the State Revenue Department for the Karakiya district provided detailed answers to relevant questions.(unofficial translation)Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/kgd-mangistau/press/news/details/1106428?lang=kk
