To ensure strict compliance with tax legislation, a joint explanatory campaign was conducted at the Dina wholesale and retail market in April 2026, by the state revenue authorities of EKR in collaboration with the Department of trade and consumer protection.Special attention was drawn to the necessity for all market traders to officially register their business activities, register cash register machines (CRMs) with the mandatory issuance of fiscal receipts, and accept non-cash payments, including those made via payment cards (POS terminals).To protect consumer rights and enhance the social protection of the region's population, trilateral memorandums of cooperation were signed among akimats, market administrations, and 31 regional markets (including 12 markets in Ust-Kamenogorsk), aiming to facilitate ongoing explanatory work regarding the mandatory use of CRMs and POS terminals.Based on the results of monitoring compliance across Ust-Kamenogorsk markets in May and June 2026, it was established that certain individuals engage in retail trade in direct violation of the law, operating without registered CRMs and lacking POS terminals.Consequently, the state revenue authorities have compiled formal administrative materials against 22 individual entrepreneurs  regarding these established violations of cash discipline.Explanatory initiatives in this direction remain ongoing, and we strongly urge all business entities to fulfill their tax obligations accurately and on time.Dear goods/services consumers!

A new ethno-village, Nomad Soul, dedicated to preserving and showcasing the culture of the Great Steppe nomads, has opened in the Burabay district of the Akmola Region.The project combines museum spaces, yurts from different historical periods, thematic routes, and traditional craft areas, allowing visitors to explore the history and everyday life of nomadic people through an interactive experience.According to Khalida Ashimova, a representative of the ethno-village, the main goal of the project is to convey the essence and value of nomadic culture through an immersive journey.“The excursion is designed so that each guest gradually passes through every stage of the experience — from the museum and traditional yurts to various exhibitions — gaining a deeper understanding of the nomadic way of life and its meaning. We wanted visitors not just to observe, but to truly experience this culture and take away its most important values,” she said.A special emphasis of the project is placed on preserving traditional customs and crafts, which, according to the organizers, should be passed on to future generations.The excursion route includes a museum, yurts representing different historical eras, and the Nomad Alley, where themed zones reveal the key stages of steppe life — from family and labor to science, culture, and art.The program concludes with an open-air performance held on hay bales. On weekends, visitors can enjoy theatrical shows, demonstrations of traditional rituals, performances by local grandmothers’ ensembles, and equestrian displays that recreate the atmosphere of the nomadic era.In addition, guests can take part in a wide range of interactive activities, including traditional national games, archery, pottery workshops, and the opportunity to try on traditional clothing. The site also features photo zones, yurt rentals, and overnight stays in an authentic ethnic-style setting.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/aqmola-tourism/press/news/details/1245689?lang=ru

Many entrepreneurs still think that a Cash Register Machine (CRM/KKM) is a waste of time. However, in today's Kazakhstan, it is the foundation of a "white" and safe business.Let's break down the essentials:✅ Who is required to use a CRM? If you accept payments in cash, by payment cards, or via mobile payments for goods, works, or services, the use of a CRM (with data fixation and transmission function) is mandatory.📝 Key Requirements:Registration: The CRM must be registered with the tax office before starting activities involving settlements.Issuing a Receipt: You are obligated to issue a fiscal receipt (paper or electronic) to the buyer for the full payment amount.Taxpayer Passport: If you work in trade or public catering, a QR code containing your business data must be displayed directly at the checkout.🚫 Who can work WITHOUT a CRM?Individuals (not registered as IPs).Lawyers, notaries, and mediators.Businesses in public urban transport (when issuing tickets).Important: Those who use a special mobile application (e.g., the self-employed) are exempt from CRMs, as receipts are generated directly on their smartphones.🧨 What are the risks? Tax authorities may conduct chronometric surveys to establish your actual income if there are suspicions of hidden revenue. Moreover, any buyer who records the non-issuance of a receipt on video can report it to the tax authorities and receive a reward.💡 Tip: Modern online CRMs integrate with accounting systems and allow you to send electronic receipts via WhatsApp or email — it's convenient for both you and your customers!Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/kgd-zhetysu/press/news/details/1245690?lang=ru
