Актуальные вопросы   Какие изменения внесены в действующий Налоговый кодекс относительно сроков применения налоговых вычетов к доходу в виде ЕПВ лиц, относящихся к социально уязвимым категориям?  Как известно, при использовании единовременных пенсионных выплат (ЕПВ) на жилье или лечение согласно действующему налоговому законодательству оплатить индивидуальный подоходный налог (ИПН) можно на выбор вкладчика: сразу при получении ЕПВ или с отсрочкой до пенсионных выплат по графику. В тоже время с 1 января 2024 года лица, относящиеся к социально уязвимым категориям, имеют право на стандартные налоговые вычеты (в пределах 882 МРП[1]) с доходов в виде ЕПВ. В этом случае получатели, относящиеся к социально уязвимым группам, могут обратиться с соответствующим заявлением и подтверждающими документами в ЕНПФ для перерасчета и возврата, удержанного ИПН. Ранее срок подачи таких документов ранее составлял три года и есть те, кто изъял ЕПВ в 2021-2022 годах и по разным причинам сделать это не успели. 15 июля 2025 г.  в действующий Налоговый кодекс были внесены изменения и дополнения, которые продлили срок давности, установленный для обращений физических лиц определенных категорий по возврату ИПН, с 3 до 5 лет. Поясните, пожалуйста, кто имеет право на перерасчет доходов и возврат ИПН? Куда необходимо обратиться?           Перечень физических лиц, имеющих право на перерасчет налогооблагаемого дохода и ИПН, определен действующим Налоговым кодексом Республики Казахстан. Это лица с инвалидностью первой, второй или третьей групп, один из родителей или опекунов детей с инвалидностью, один из усыновителей (удочерителей), приемных родителей детей-сирот, ветераны боевых событий и другие категории. Полный перечень лиц указан в пунктах 2) и 3) статьи 346 Налогового кодекса РК.  Получателям пенсионных выплат, которым при определении облагаемого дохода по ЕПВ стандартные налоговые вычеты, при наличии права на их применение, не были применены, необходимо срочно – до 31 декабря 2025 года (включительно) - обратиться в ближайший филиал ЕНПФ с заявлением и подтверждающими документами (в случае наличия в ЦБДИ сведений, подтверждающих наличие у получателя установленной инвалидности предоставление соответствующих подтверждающих документов не требуется) на применение стандартных налоговых вычетов для перерасчета доходов и возмещения ИПН.           Каким образом будет возвращен ИПН при своевременном обращении? В течение какого периода будут действительны принятые изменения?             После применения стандартного налогового вычета ИПН будет возвращен на индивидуальный пенсионный счет получателя в случае, если он был удержан. Если был выбран отложенный ИПН, то после 1 января 2026 года будут аннулированы обязательства по его уплате при получении ежемесячных пенсионных выплат.                         Продление срока давности для обращений физических лиц определенных категорий по возврату ИПН будет действовать по 31 декабря 2025г. включительно, поскольку с 1 января 2026г. вступает в силу новый Налоговый кодекс Республики Казахстан и срок исковой давности снова составит 3 года. Поэтому всем, кто получил ЕПВ в 2021-2022гг. и имеет право на применение стандартных налоговых вычетов, рекомендуем не откладывать и воспользоваться этим правом вовремя!            При возникновении вопросов можно обратиться в Call-центр: 1418 (бесплатно по Казахстану), 8 (727) 356 10 60 (междугородние и международные звонки). Я являюсь лицом с инвалидностью 2 группы, подал документы в ЕНПФ для возврата налога, прошу разъяснить - почему не был возвращён полный размер налога с ЕПВ 5 000 000,00 тенге с отложенным видом уплаты ИПН?       Напомним, что согласно действующему налоговому законодательству, при использовании единовременных пенсионных выплат (ЕПВ) на улучшение жилищных условий или оплату лечения, оплатить индивидуальный подоходный налог (ИПН) можно на выбор вкладчика: сразу при получении ЕПВ или с отсрочкой до пенсионных выплат по графику. С 1 января 2024 года лица, относящиеся к социально уязвимым категориям, имеют право на применение стандартных налоговых вычетов к доходу в виде ЕПВ. При этом сумма облагаемого дохода в виде ЕПВ из ЕНПФ определяется в следующем порядке:От суммы дохода в виде ЕПВ отнимается сумма налоговых вычетов, указанных в соответствующих статьях Налогового кодекса. Итоговый остаток и является облагаемым доходом.  Например,  если доход вкладчика в виде ЕПВ в 2021 году составил 5 000 000,00 тенге с налоговыми обязательствами 500 000,00 тенге (5 000 000,00* 10%), то при применении стандартных налоговых вычетов в размере 882 МРП за 2021 год в сумме 2 572 794,00 тенге (882*2 917,00 тенге[2]) производится корректировка налоговых обязательств в сторону уменьшения. Таким образом, остаток налоговых обязательств (отложенный ИПН) составит 242 720,60 тенге, который рассчитан следующим образом:((5 000 000,00 - 2 572 794,00)*10%).Если Вы являетесь уже получателем пенсионных выплат из ЕНПФ и сумма отложенного ИПН была уже полностью или частично удержана и перечислена в бюджет, на основании поданных в ЕНПФ документов для возврата налога будет произведено возмещение и выплата возмещенного ИПН с корректировкой остатка задолженности в пределах 882 МРП.Оставшиеся налоговые обязательства на 1 января 2026 года в связи с вступлением в силу нового Налогового кодекса будут аннулированы в январе 2026 года.    Мой супруг имеет инвалидность 2 группы и после применения стандартных налоговых вычетов остались налоговые обязательства. Прошу разъяснить, что будет с остатком налоговых обязательств?          С 01.01.2026г. вводится в действие Налоговый кодекс Республики Казахстан № 214-VIII ЗРК от 18 июля 2025 года, предусматривающий освобождение от удержания ИПН с дохода в виде пенсионных выплат из ЕНПФ, единовременных пенсионных выплат физических лиц – резидентов Республики Казахстан.Все налоговые обязательства по отложенному ИПН с ЕПВ, имеющиеся у вкладчиков (получателей) ЕНПФ по состоянию на 01.01.2026г., будут аннулированы.Для какой категории лиц отменен ИПН с 2026 года и с каких видов пенсионных выплат? Возможен ли возврат ранее удержанного ИПН с ЕПВ, если я не являюсь льготником?                    Положениями нового Налогового кодекса, вводимого с 01.01.2026 г., ИПН не будет удерживаться со всех видов пенсионных выплат за исключением случаев, если получатель является нерезидентом Республики Казахстан, а также не будет удерживаться с ЕПВ. То есть, пенсионные выплаты из ЕНПФ, единовременные пенсионные выплаты физическим лицам, являющимися резидентами Республики Казахстан, не будут облагаться ИПН.           Положениями нового Налогового кодекса возврат ранее удержанного ИПН не предусмотрен, в связи с чем в случае уплаты вкладчиком ИПН единовременно - он возвращаться не будет.Я являюсь лицом с инвалидностью 2 группы, инвалидность присвоена в ноябре 2024 года. Прошу разъяснить, почему мне отказали в перерасчете дохода и возврата ИПН с ЕПВ, которые я осуществил в 2022 и 2023 годах?Согласно действующему Налоговому кодексу стандартные вычеты применяются в том календарном году, в котором возникло, имеется или имелось основание для применения данных налоговых вычетов.К ЕПВ осуществленным в 2022г. и 2023г. ЕНПФ не вправе применить стандартные налоговые вычеты в связи с тем, что на момент получения дохода в виде ЕПВ Вы не являлись лицом с инвалидностью. [1] Месячный расчетный показатель[2] Месячный расчетный показатель в 2021 году составляет 2917 тенгеSource : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/enbekshikazakh-shelek/press/news/details/1123901?lang=kk

Title: "I will mend my ways": Husband who beat his wife got a second chance, but traded a broom for the threat of jail in EKRA resident of the East Kazakhstan Region paid for the battery with 40 hours of community service and received a second chance from his wife. However, he is now facing a real prison sentence: the man refused to sweep the streets, claiming he was ashamed in front of his acquaintances.The family conflict, which started with a simple quarrel, escalated into physical violence: the 38-year-old city resident hit his wife in the face. The court recognized the fact of the criminal offense and assigned 40 hours of compulsory work – cleaning the streets of Ust-Kamenogorsk."The convicted person was sent to perform community work. Given the autumn period, his task is to clean the territory and clear the streets of fallen leaves. He works 4 hours a day," reported Aigerim Nurgazina, a representative of the press service of the Penitentiary Department for the EKR. "This is an opportunity for the person to realize their mistake and benefit society."The person on probation admitted that he would try to mend his ways, control his emotions, and would not raise a hand against his wife. The wife, in turn, confirmed that she gave him a second attempt to fix their family life.However, the noble intention did not last long. The man, who is under strict control of the probation service staff in Ust-Kamenogorsk, categorically refused to perform the punishment assigned by the court. He motivated his refusal quite unusually: he is ashamed to hold a broom in his hands – in case acquaintances or friends see him.Such a "principle" can cost the offender dearly. Probation service staff warn: evasion of work will lead to a stricter punishment."The punishment in the form of community service is not a resort. Our task is to ensure that every hour assigned by the court is honestly worked off," Aigerim Nurgazina explained. "If a person starts to evade, we will immediately send the materials to the court to replace the punishment with a stricter one – up to imprisonment."Thus, the man, who received a second chance from both his wife and the court, risks trading cleaning autumn leaves for a prison term.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/duis-vko/press/news/details/1093587?lang=kk
