A number of media publications have suggested that the order of the Minister of Finance No. 654 "On certain issues of fulfilling tax obligations in the event of liquidation, reorganization and termination of activities by taxpayers" allegedly contradicts the law and introduces new responsibilities for company founders. In this connection, the SRG clarifies.Order No. 654 does not introduce anything new. This order was adopted to implement the norms of the Tax Code, which come into force on January 1, 2026. It describes how companies must meet their tax obligations upon liquidation or termination of operations.The main principle remains the same:• if a company has a tax debt, debts are collected in accordance with the procedure provided for by the Tax Code;• if the company's property is not sufficient, the founders are liable only in cases directly provided for by the laws of the Republic of Kazakhstan.This rule existed in the legislation before – in the Tax Code, the Civil Code and the Bankruptcy Law. Order No. 654 repeats these norms without expanding the powers of the state revenue authorities.When can the founder be responsibleThe founder can be held liable in subsidiary (solidarity) only after the company is declared bankrupt due to specific circumstances, for example:Deliberate bringing of the company to bankruptcy;Withdrawal or concealment of property;non - submission of documents to the liquidated company;not applying to the bankruptcy court when the property no longer covers the debts.Why is there confusion?Some publications interpreted a separate paragraph of the order as extending the responsibility of the founders. However, this paragraph only repeats the norms of Article 75 of the Tax Code and does not change the current rules.It is important to knowOrder 654 does NOT violate the law and does NOT introduce new responsibilities for the founders.He does not give new powers to the state revenue authorities.He only puts in order and describes the processes that are already provided for by law.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/kgd-almaty/press/news/details/1112868?lang=kk

The Ministry of Artificial Intelligence and Digital Development of the Republic of Kazakhstan (MAIDD RK), together with National Information Technologies JSC (NITEC) and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), has launched the Open-Source Public Organizations Readiness Assessment (OSPORA) programme to evaluate the readiness of Kazakhstan’s government agencies to transition to open-source solutions.To support governments in their transition to open-source solutions, UNDP’s Digital, AI and Innovation Centre, with the support of the Government of France, is implementing the “Open-Source Public Organizations Readiness Assessment” (OSPORA) initiative. The initiative helps countries assess their ability to adopt, scale, and manage open-source software. OSPORA is aimed at strengthening policies, governance systems, and institutional capacity throughout the process of national digital transformation. As part of the initiative, countries are offered a structured approach that enables them to assess their level of readiness, engage national leaders, and identify concrete steps for establishing Open-Source Programme Office functions within the broader digital transformation agenda.As part of the programme’s implementation, training on the fundamentals of open-source technologies has begun in Astana for representatives of NITEC, various ministries, the Digital Government Support Centre (DGSC), and Kazdream IT Holding. In addition, all stakeholders will participate in interviews for the subsequent assessment of the country’s readiness. At the next stage of the initiative, experts from MAIDD RK and NITEC, together with UNDP, will complete the readiness assessment report, identifying key gaps and opportunities, and preparing practical recommendations to accelerate the adoption of open-source solutions in Kazakhstan.Participation in OSPORA will give Kazakhstani specialists access to global expertise and practical tools. Their application will help the country accelerate digital transformation, enhance the maturity of public service architecture, and establish engagement with both global and local open-source communities.Joining OSPORA is an important step for Kazakhstan toward a more open, secure, and innovative digital future. Strengthening national capacity in open-source technology governance will contribute to:increasing the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of public services;strengthening technological independence;developing the national ecosystem of developers and digital innovators;improving the integration of government systems;expanding collaboration with global digital public goods communities.Commitment to open-source principles enables Kazakhstan to strengthen its position as a regional leader in digital government, including areas such as open artificial intelligence and digital healthcare.Earlier, the Republic of Kazakhstan expressed its interest in systematically working with open technologies. In mid-2024, NITEC submitted an official application to join the OSPORA initiative implemented by UNDP. The application emphasizes the national commitment to implementing open practices in government processes. For Kazakhstan, this will be an important step toward strengthening technological sovereignty, modernizing digital governance, and reducing dependence on proprietary solutions. For reference: National Information Technologies JSC is an operator of e-Gov ICT infrastructure, artificial intelligence and Government Intranet, and also performs system and technical maintenance of information systems for central and regional government agencies. Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/maidd/press/news/details/1112771?lang=kk

If individual entrepreneurs who previously worked on a patent or through a special mobile application do not submit a notification of the transition to the "new" simplified declaration regime by March 1, 2026, they will be automatically deregistered as individual entrepreneurs and, if they meet the requirements of the regime, will be able to continue their activities as self-employed.💡 Also important information for taxpayers operating under the simplified declaration or fractional tax regime. Taxpayers who have applied special tax regimes before January 1, 2026 and plan to switch to the "new" simplified declaration regime must submit a notice of transition no later than March 1, 2026, otherwise they will be transferred to the generally established taxation regime and will be able to enter the simplified declaration only after one year of operation.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/kgd-kyzylorda/press/news/details/1114110?lang=kk

The issue of the lack of engineering infrastructure, which has been relevant for several years in the Kyzylzhar-2 microdistrict of the Abay district of Shymkent, has been finally resolved. This spring, during a field meeting with residents of the metropolis, the residents of this area noted that the lack of drinking water, unstable electricity, and the lack of natural gas are the most pressing social problems. In response to the issue raised by residents, the city mayor gave an urgent task to the relevant structures and obliged them to deliver infrastructure networks in the shortest possible time. Thus, in April 2024, the construction of engineering networks began in the Kyzylzhar-2 territory. The project was intended to fully cover Alkap, Ordakent, Nurlykent, Syganak, Terenozek and Kolkent streets. The first phase of the project included the installation of the most necessary utilities — a water supply, electricity, and natural gas infrastructure. As a result, residents of the microdistrict, which previously relied mainly on transported water and experienced frequent power outages, have for the first time received stable and modern engineering infrastructure. Currently, 265 houses are provided with stable drinking water and electricity. In addition, a natural gas pipeline has been fully installed, enabling each house to be connected. According to experts, the upgraded engineering networks will significantly increase the comfort and safety of living in the microdistrict. Fire safety, sanitation, and energy sustainability have also been raised to a new level. The second phase of the project is planned to be implemented next year. This phase will provide the remaining part of the Kyzylzhar-2 microdistrict with the necessary infrastructure. When the project is fully completed, the microdistrict is expected to become a fully developed engineering area, increasing its social and economic potential. The head of the megapolis congratulated residents on the commissioning of the new infrastructure and noted that the contractors performed the work on time and with high quality. According to him, providing new microdistricts with engineering networks is one of the strategic development directions of Shymkent. The completion of work on Kyzylzhar-2 is a tangible result of a comprehensive policy aimed at improving the quality of life of the city's population. This project will not only create a comfortable environment for residents, but also give impetus to the urban development of Shymkent.

The Kyzylzhar-2 microdistrict in Shymkent is fully connected to a comprehensive utility infrastructure. In the Kyzylzhar-2 microdistrict of the Abay district of Shymkent, the problem of a shortage of engineering infrastructure, which had been relevant for several years, has been finally resolved. As a reminder, this spring, at a meeting between the city's mayor and residents, residents of this neighborhood cited a shortage of drinking water, unstable electricity supplies, and a lack of natural gas as the most pressing social problems. The mayor issued urgent instructions to the relevant agencies, tasking them with ensuring utility lines were connected to the neighborhood as quickly as possible. Construction of utility lines began on the Kyzylzhar-2 site in April 2024. Design work was carried out on Alkap, Ordakent, Nurlykent, Syganak, Terenozek, and Kolkent streets. During the first phase of the project, essential utilities—water, power, and gas lines—were installed. As a result, 265 homes now have a constant supply of water and electricity. Furthermore, the newly installed gas pipeline allows each home to be connected to natural gas. The second phase of the project is planned for implementation next year. This phase will provide the remaining portion of the Kyzylzhar-2 microdistrict with the necessary infrastructure. Upon full completion, the microdistrict is expected to have a fully developed utility infrastructure. The mayor congratulated residents on the commissioning of the new utility networks and noted that the contractors completed the work efficiently and on time. He stated that providing new microdistricts with utility networks is one of the strategic development areas of Shymkent.
