The State Revenue Committee of the Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Kazakhstan continues its active efforts to ensure transparency and fair taxation in the digital economy.Since 2022, Kazakhstan has been successfully applying the digital services tax, commonly referred to as the «Google tax».Since its introduction, 120 foreign companies have been registered under the Google tax regime, including 22 companies in 2025. Total budget revenues have amounted to KZT 136 billion, including KZT 57.6 billion in 2025 and KZT 8.7 billion in January 2026.In accordance with the Tax Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan, second-tier banks and payment organizations submit information to the state revenue authorities on foreign companies that have undergone conditional registration. These data are used to analyze the completeness and timeliness of the fulfillment of tax obligations in relation to e-commerce in goods and the provision of electronic services to individuals within the territory of the Republic of Kazakhstan.Based on the reconciliation of data received from second-tier banks, payment organizations, and information on VAT amounts paid by foreign companies, the state revenue authorities carry out desk (cameral) control.Where cases of non-payment or partial payment are identified, discrepancy notices are issued based on the results of cameral control.At the same time, in accordance with Article 89 of the Tax Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan, effective from 1 January 2026, provisions have been introduced allowing the competent authorities to adopt decisions on restricting access (blocking) to the internet resources of foreign marketplaces in the event of their failure to comply with notifications issued following cameral control, as well as notifications on registration as value-added tax payers.The implementation of these measures is aimed at ensuring equal competitive conditions for domestic and foreign market participants, strengthening tax discipline in the digital environment, and reducing the share of the shadow economy without conducting documentary tax audits.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/kgd/press/news/details/1165186?lang=kk

A briefing on preparing schoolchildren for the 2026 Unified National Testing (UNITED NATIONAL TEST) was held at the Almaty Regional Communications Service. During the event, adolescent psychologist Fatima Broeva presented recommendations for maintaining students' psychological health during the exam period. According to the expert, teenagers perceive the UNT as an important life milestone and often associate it with their vision of future success. Therefore, preparing for the test becomes not only an academic but also a significant emotional process. The expert noted that during adolescence, self-esteem is largely dependent on external assessments from others. During exam preparation, schoolchildren may develop a mindset in which test results are perceived as an indicator of their own worth. This increases anxiety and the fear of failure. As the psychologist emphasized, prolonged stress can lead to decreased concentration, memory impairment, sleep disturbances, and general fatigue. These conditions are a sign of nervous system overload and require adult attention. "Stress is the body's nonspecific response to demands. In moderate doses, it mobilizes resources, improves concentration, and enhances performance. However, chronic stress associated with lengthy exam preparation leads to the exhaustion of adaptive mechanisms," she added. Practical recommendations for graduates include maintaining a balanced daily routine, getting adequate sleep, using breathing techniques, and taking short breaks during preparation. These measures help reduce stress and maintain productivity. The specialist paid special attention to the role of family. It's important for teenagers to feel supported, regardless of exam results. Having alternative educational options also helps reduce anxiety and builds confidence in the future. "A child needs to feel that love and acceptance aren't dependent on exam results. Excessive expectations increase the fear of failure. A constructive parental approach is one of partnership, not control," the RSC spokesperson stated. It is also important to create a safe psychological environment within schools themselves: school psychologists should initiate stress-resilience training, teach self-regulation skills, and provide individual consultations to support graduates during the examination period. In conclusion, the psychologist emphasizes that the UNT is an important stage of education, but not a measure of a graduate's worth. Emotional support from school and family, a calm atmosphere, and a balance between preparation and rest help teenagers maintain psychological health, confidently navigate the exam period, and more calmly process the test results.

A briefing was held at the Regional Communications Service on preparation for the Unified National Testing in 2026. At the briefing, adolescent psychologist Fatima Broeva made recommendations that will help maintain the psychological health of students during the exam load. According to the expert, the UNT is perceived as an important milestone in life for teenagers, and they often associate their future with it. Therefore, preparing for the test can be considered a transitional period when a person's behavior is also tested. Experts say that any teenager often evaluates himself based on the words of those around him. When preparing for an exam, some may perceive the test results as their own. As a result, he becomes anxious and makes mistakes. According to the psychologist, prolonged stress can lead to decreased attention, memory loss, sleep disturbances, and fatigue. This condition indicates an excessive load on the nerves. Adults should pay attention to this and not allow the child to become isolated. "Stress is a nonspecific response of the body to the demands placed on it. At a moderate level, it mobilizes resources, increases concentration, and improves performance. However, chronic stress associated with prolonged preparation for exams leads to a weakening of adaptive mechanisms," he said. As a practical suggestion, graduates were advised to pay attention to their daily routine, get enough sleep, practice breathing exercises, and take short breaks during preparation. These things help reduce stress and maintain a person's motivation to work. The expert paid special attention to the role of the family. Regardless of the exam results, a teenager should always be supported and encouraged. "No matter what score a child gets on the exam, they should be treated as they are. You can't have high expectations and rely too much on them. Parents should be like a friend who gives them advice, not a controller," the speaker warned. School psychologists should also conduct stress-resilience training, teach self-control, and provide advice to graduates during exams. In conclusion, the psychologist noted that although the UNT is an important stage in the educational process, it is not an indicator of the personal value of the graduate. Emotional support from the school and family, a calm atmosphere, a balance between preparation and rest allow adolescents to maintain psychological well-being, pass the exam period with maximum confidence, and calmly accept the test results.

In modern conditions, the implementation of anti-corruption policy in the state revenue authorities of the Republic of Kazakhstan is a complex, multi-level work aimed at eradicating prerequisites for offenses and the formation of sustainable immunity to corruption. The activities of the agency are carried out in strict accordance with the Concept of anti-corruption policy for 2022-2026 and are based on the principles set out in Article 6 of the Law of the Republic of Kazakhstan “On Combating Corruption”. The main emphasis is shifted from the fight against consequences to deep prevention and systemic elimination of risks.One of the key measures in this area is the large-scale digitalization of tax and customs administration, ensuring transparency of processes and compliance with anti-corruption standards. Implementation of such systems as IS “Taxpayer's Cabinet”, IS “Electronic Invoices”, “ASTANA-1” and “IS KEDEN” allows minimizing the direct contact of officials with taxpayers. The elimination of the “human factor” becomes a decisive tool in reducing corruption risks and simplifying the interaction between business and government.In accordance with Article 8 of the Law of the Republic of Kazakhstan “On Combating Corruption”, an internal analysis of corruption risks is regularly conducted, covering both legal acts and management activities of the divisions. The results of this analysis serve as a basis for adjusting business processes, eliminating legal gaps and strengthening disciplinary liability, which allows preventively blocking opportunities for committing offenses.Special attention is paid to human resources policies and financial controls. The selection process and promotion of candidates is carried out with maximum openness. Transparency of staff income and expenditures is ensured through universal declaration, and strict compliance with the requirements of Article 12 of the Law allows for timely identification and prevention of conflicts of interest.Ideological work to foster an anti-corruption culture is an integral part of the strategy. The Institute of Ethics Commissioners promotes ethical standards and the principle of “zero tolerance” for any form of bribery. Interaction with civil society also plays an important role: the functioning of helplines and front offices helps to involve the population in the monitoring process. A systematic approach not only increases the efficiency of payment collection, but also strengthens public trust in government institutions.  Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/kgd-zhetysu/press/news/details/1164936?lang=kk
