The Department of State Revenue for the Mangystau region informs that the Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Kazakhstan has developed a draft order "On approval of the Rules for determining objects of taxation and (or) objects related to taxation by the indirect method." The document was prepared in order to implement the provisions of the new Tax Code (paragraph 5 of Article 173) and is aimed at increasing the transparency and fairness of the tax system.The draft provides for a mechanism for applying the so-called indirect method of determining taxable objects. It will be used by the state revenue authorities in cases where a taxpayer violates the accounting procedure, as well as in case of loss or destruction of accounting documents. In addition, this method will make it possible to more objectively determine the income of individuals.The essence of the indirect method is that if the primary documents are missing or distorted, the tax authorities will use alternative sources of information. Data on assets and property, liabilities, turnover, income, expenses and expenses of the taxpayer can be used to calculate the tax base. This approach allows you to identify inconsistencies and get a more reliable picture of the real financial situation of the entity.The use of the indirect method solves several tasks at once:- increases the efficiency of tax administration;- ensures the completeness and reliability of the information in the declarations;- allows remote monitoring of tax risks;- helps to prevent tax evasion;- strengthens the principle of fair taxation.Ultimately, this will lead to a reduction in the volume of the shadow economy and the formation of more honest business conditions. (unofficial translation)Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/kgd-mangistau/press/news/details/1071182?lang=kk

Based on the collected data, automated calculation of taxes and control over the timeliness of their payment are carried out. Budget revenue models are predicted, and the tax potential of industries and regions is determined.The staff of the Center for Electronic Finance has also developed a digital map of state finances, which reflects the flow of cash online.

From January 2026, its use will become mandatory, which will provide a single reference book for accounting, statistics, public procurement and customs, reduce shadow turnover and create fair competition conditions.The Ministry is already implementing new tax and customs administration tools.

The integrated tax administration system has combined seven outdated solutions into a single platform, providing full tax support to entrepreneurs. The Keden system automates customs processes, introduces remote interaction between participants in foreign economic activity and uses elements of artificial intelligence.A single entrepreneur's personal account has been created for businesses – a portal and a mobile application that combines all the services of the Ministry of Finance in a user-friendly interface. Within the framework of budget planning, unique identifiers of projects and expenses have been introduced, according to forecasts, this innovation will save budget funds. A digital profile of the government agency has been launched with online reflection of receipts, expenses and financial discipline.
