Implementation of the pre-notification functionality within the framework of the Keden IP 25.07.2025
In order to increase the efficiency of customs administration, the State Revenue Committee of the Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Kazakhstan continues the phased implementation of the Keden information system. One of the key modules successfully functioning in the system is the module of preliminary information about goods intended for importation into the customs territory of the Eurasian Economic Union by all modes of transport.The preliminary information is used by the customs authorities for expedited clearance and optimization of customs control. Early submission of data allows you to electronically record the arrival of goods and vehicles at the checkpoint and shorten the time required to complete all procedures. IP "Keden" provides automatic determination of the need for additional types of control (veterinary, phytosanitary, quarantine, etc.) based on the EAEU HS codes.This allows you to integrate the work of related services and carry out control in a digital format, without additional human involvement. The preliminary information can also be converted into an electronic transit declaration, which significantly saves time for participants in foreign economic activity during transportation. As a result of the implementation of the relevant module, the time for registration, registration and issuance of transit declarations has been reduced from 30 to 10 minutes.Since the launch of the Keden IP (from November 16, 2024 to June 30, 2025), more than 1.3 million preliminary notifications have been registered, of which 660 thousand have been automatically converted into transit declarations, and another 280 thousand have been processed manually. The State Revenue Committee urges participants in foreign economic activity to actively use the pre-notification mechanism to speed up customs procedures and digitalize foreign economic activity.

ШЫМКЕНТ ҚАЛАСЫНДА «ТАЗА ҚАЗАҚСТАН» ЭКОЛОГИЯЛЫҚ АКЦИЯСЫ ӨТТІ 25.07.2025
Бүгін Шымкент қаласында «Таза Қазақстан» жалпыұлттық экологиялық акциясы аясында кең ауқымды тазалық жұмыстары ұйымдастырылды. Акция қаланың барлық бес ауданында бір уақытта өтті.Іс-шара барысында көпқабатты тұрғын үйлердің аулалары, жаяу жүргінші жолдары, арықтар мен жол жиектері тазартылып, қураған шөптер орылды. Сонымен қатар, ағаштарға санитарлық қырқу жұмыстары жүргізілді. Тазалық жұмыстарына қала тұрғындары, ардагерлер, ерікті жастар және коммуналдық қызмет мекемелерінің қызметкерлері белсенді қатысты.Қала тұрғыны Нұржан Есенқұлов осындай шаралардың жас ұрпақ тәрбиесінде маңызы зор екенін атап өтті.«Біз сонау қиын-қыстау кезеңдерді бастан өткерген ұрпақпыз. Табиғатты аялау – бұл ұрпақтар арасындағы сабақтастықтың бір көрінісі. Осындай шараларға қатысу – жастарға үлгі көрсетудің тамаша жолы. Қаламыз таза болса – көңіліміз де таза болады», – дейді ол.Жастар өкілі Дана Ерханова да экологиялық акцияға белсенді қатысып, өз үлесін қосты.– «Біз тек қана аула тазалап жатқан жоқпыз, қалаға жайлы әрі таза орта жасап жатырмыз. Бұл – біздің ортақ үйіміз, сондықтан оған қамқорлық таныту – әр азаматтың борышы. Табиғатқа жанашырлық – рухани тәрбиенің бір бөлігі. Бүгінгі шарада экологиялық мәдениет туралы көп мағлұмат алдық», – дейді жас беленді.Акция аясында қатысушылар арасында тазалықтың маңыздылығы туралы түсіндірме жұмыстары жүргізілді. Ұйымдастырушылар мен қала белсенділері қоршаған ортаны қорғау, тұрмыстық қалдықтарды дұрыс сұрыптау және табиғатты аялау туралы ақпарат берді. Бұл түсіндіру жұмыстары әсіресе жастар мен тұрғындары үшін пайдалы әрі тәрбиелік мәнге ие болды.«Мұндай іс-шаралар қоршаған ортаға деген сүйіспеншілік пен ұқыптылықты қалыптастырып, отансүйгіштік сезімді арттырады. Тазалық – тек сыртқы көрініс емес, бұл – ішкі мәдениет пен жауапкершіліктің айнасы. Табиғатты қорғау – келешек ұрпаққа аманат екенін естен шығармаған жөн», - дейді ұйымдастырушылар.Іс-шараның басты мақсаты – қала экологиясын жақсарту, тұрғындардың табиғатқа деген жауапкершілігін арттыру және ұрпақ санасына қоршаған ортаға деген құрметті сіңіру. Қала әкімдігімен бұл игі бастама әрі қарай да жалғасатын болады.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/shymkent-memlekettik-satyp-alu/press/news/details/1040348?lang=kk

Algorithm for implementing a pilot project to provide the service "Providing commodity gas vouchers to recipients of state targeted social assistance and (or) housing assistance" 25.07.2025
Since July 1, 2025, the Ministry of Energy of the Republic of Kazakhstan has launched a pilot project to provide commodity gas vouchers to recipients of targeted social assistance (TSA) and housing assistance (HA) through the eGov portal.The project aims to support vulnerable segments of the population in the face of rising commodity gas prices. The introduction of an automated system for calculating benefits through the Social Wallet service will eliminate the need for manual data verification and reduce the risk of errors, ensuring that assistance is provided without additional paperwork, and significantly expanding the scope of support.The commodity gas voucher is a tool for providing non-monetary government support measures through the Social Wallet service, which is provided digitally.The voucher is activated by the recipient of housing assistance (ASP) on a monthly basis, from the 7th to the 25th of the current month. The voucher will not be available for activation after the 25th of the current month.On the 7th of each month, an SMS message is sent to the subscriber's cellular device of the recipient of housing assistance (RHA), initiating a request to obtain their consent to the provision of the voucher.If the recipient of housing assistance (RHA) does not respond to the SMS message within 7 calendar days, a second SMS message is sent. If the recipient of housing assistance (HRA) does not respond by the 25th of the current month, or if the recipient of housing assistance (HRA) refuses to provide a voucher, the voucher cannot be activated in the current month.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/kostanai-kalasy-akimat/press/news/details/1040235?lang=kk
