From November 17 to 21, 2025, the Training-Methodical Center of the State Revenue Committee of the Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Kazakhstan conducted a specialized course on “Updating and Conducting Special Training Courses for X-Ray Television System Operators.” The training was held at the Center’s premises for employees of the territorial bodies of state revenues and officers of the Border Service of the National Security Committee of the Republic of Kazakhstan.      The main goal of the course was to improve the quality of control at border crossing points, ensuring the effective interaction of both equipment and operators. Special emphasis was placed on qualified analysis of scanned images produced by X-ray television systems (XTS) and on verifying the data contained in accompanying documents.       The course program included the following key modules:studying the operating principles of Rapiscan, Rapiscan DV, Smith-Heimann, and Heimann-container X-ray television systems;training exercises to develop visual perception and improve the detection of dangerous items (grenades, synthetic drugs, knives, improvised explosive devices) from various angles;profiling methods and identification of passengers who may pose a potential threat based on nonverbal indicators;detecting signs of concealed transport of weapons, explosives, ammunition, and preventing attempts of illegal movement of prohibited items and contraband.       For the training and testing of XTS operators, the program included the Simfox simulator, which enabled participants to improve the following skills:detection of weapons;identification of explosives and detonating devices;prevention of drug smuggling and other prohibited goods;accurate description and proper use of X-ray television systems.       As part of the practical training, participants underwent instruction at the “Auezhai-Astana” customs post using demonstration samples—mock-ups of narcotic substances, prohibited items, explosives, foreign currency, jewelry, and diamonds. The trainees demonstrated strong results, particularly in identifying explosive materials. The practical session was conducted in the format of active discussion and detailed analysis of X-ray images using Rapiscan equipment.       For the first time, the course included a specialized English-language module aimed at mastering industry-specific terminology and developing professional communication skills. Participants learned practical phrases for conducting inspection procedures, completing documentation, and interacting in an international environment.       The training program combined theoretical instruction with hands-on practice using modern equipment. The trainees studied in detail the operating principles of X-ray television systems, mastered image analysis techniques, and practiced detecting dangerous and prohibited items. Special attention was given to enhancing professional competence, making decisions in non-standard situations, and adhering to international customs control standards. Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/kgd/press/news/details/1112068?lang=kk

The new Tax Code, aimed at supporting individuals with low incomes as well as those engaged in activity on an occasional basis without hiring employees (including individuals working through platform-based employment), introduces a Special Tax Regime (STR) for the self-employed.This STR may be applied by individuals (citizens of the Republic of Kazakhstan and kandas) who currently use the STR based on a patent, those using a special mobile application, those engaged in platform-based employment, as well as other individuals who meet the following criteria:are not individual entrepreneurs;do not use hired labor in their activities;engage in types of activities permitted for the application of this regime by Government Resolution;have income not exceeding 300 times the Monthly Calculated Index (MCI) per calendar month (1.3 million tenge in 2026).The fulfillment of obligations by individuals applying this regime is made as simple as possible in the following ways:They are exempt from registering as individual entrepreneurs.They are fully exempt from paying income tax (PIT rate of 0%).Their only obligation is the payment of social contributions amounting to 4% of income (1% each for pension contributions, mandatory professional pension contributions, social contributions, and compulsory medical insurance). This provides basic social guarantees, including pension coverage, medical care, and social insurance in case of insured events.They are exempt from submitting tax reports.For convenience and simplification of obligations, a special mobile application is provided, offering the ability to issue receipts for services rendered (no need to use a cash register), generate a monthly income register, and automatically calculate social payment obligations.For self-employed individuals working through platform-based employment, the withholding and remittance of social payments will be carried out by the online platform operator based on income received through the platform.Individuals operating in areas without public telecommunications networks fulfill their obligations by paying the required amount from their income for the month.The above advantages of this regime are aimed at legalizing the activities of the self-employed and ensuring social guarantees (access to pension, medical, and social protection).Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/kgd-vko/press/news/details/1112044?lang=kk

On November 24, Minister of Trade and Integration Arman Shakkaliyev held a meeting on curbing inflation. Deputy Finance Minister Yerzhan Birzhanov, representatives of the State Revenue Committee, the Financial Monitoring Agency, and deputy regional akims participated in the discussion.During the meeting, the minister noted that since the beginning of the year, food inflation for 160 key products has reached 11 percent. Meanwhile, the price index for socially important food products remains stable, remaining at a minimum of 0.1% for the first three weeks of November. Weekly monitoring, direct interaction with producers and retail chains, government oversight, and regular fairs continue to play a key role in maintaining price levels.At the meeting, First Deputy Trade Minister Aizhan Bizhanova emphasized that, to ensure the stability of the food basket, the issue of expanding the list of socially important food products is being considered. The inclusion of additional categories of vegetables, fruits, dairy, meat, and fish products is being considered. This step will expand the limited trade margin mechanism to a wider range of goods and limit the influence of intermediaries. The new list is planned to be discussed with government agencies, the Atameken National Chamber of Entrepreneurs, associations, retail chains, and importers.A list of the largest food importers and their suppliers by region has been determined. Negotiations are planned at the central and regional levels with the participation of interested bodies to develop consolidated solutions for price containment, enhancing the social responsibility of businesses, and increasing import transparency.During the discussion, Minister Arman Shakkaliyev placed particular emphasis on the work of the regions. He noted that today each region receives a detailed list of key products that contribute the most to inflation and explained the principle of the new approach. The minister said that regional analytics are key to keeping the situation under control."We have created an algorithm that allows us to see the real picture for each product. It shows where price increases are coming from, whether it's logistics, seasonality, imports, or the balance of production and consumption." This approach allows us to respond quickly and prevent unjustified price increases. This is especially important for goods that are not directly regulated. Our goal is to ensure stability in every region and ensure that every family benefits from this work," Arman Shakkaliyev emphasized.The continuation of fairs and large-scale events like "Bereke Fest" was also discussed. These provide the population with affordable meat, vegetables, and other socially important products. Following the example of the capital, there are plans to expand direct supplies of discounted meat.The simplified import procedure for fruits and vegetables from Iran, Pakistan, Azerbaijan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, and Turkmenistan was separately confirmed.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/mti/press/news/details/1111751?lang=kk
