The practical issues of applying the new Tax Code are important for the effective work of entrepreneurs. Knowledge of changes in tax reporting, the procedure for inspections and support measures helps businesses avoid mistakes and sanctions, as well as maximize the opportunities provided by law. To this end, the Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Kazakhstan is conducting an information campaign in all regions of the country, explaining the main provisions of the code and answering relevant questions from business representatives. This type of work enhances tax literacy, builds trust, and promotes a transparent, predictable business environment.The next seminar was held in Petropavlovsk. The North Kazakhstan region is one of the leading agricultural regions of the country, with more than 42,000 small and medium-sized businesses. The event was attended by more than 500 representatives of LLP, sole proprietors and agricultural enterprises of the region, as well as representatives of the Atameken Chamber of Entrepreneurs. Zhanybek Nurzhanov, Deputy Chairman of the State Revenue Committee, spoke about the changes in legislation.He said that the new Tax Code provides agribusiness with significant fiscal advantages. Among them: a preferential corporate income tax rate of 3% for agricultural producers, a special tax regime for small and medium-sized peasant or farm enterprises has been preserved, the additional VAT offset has not only been preserved, but also its size has been increased from 70% to 80%. Among the innovations in the vehicle tax, an additional benefit per pickup truck is provided for those applying a special tax regime for peasant or farm farms.These conditions create a stable and profitable business environment for farmers, reducing the tax burden and stimulating investment in the industry.In addition, simplified tax mechanisms are provided: the single land tax is abolished, the number of special regimes is reduced to three, and the introduction of digital services, including mobile applications for the self-employed, allows taxpayers to verify declarations and pay taxes online. This reduces the bureaucratic burden and increases the transparency of administration."The benefits provided by the new Tax Code for farmers can become a serious incentive for the development of agriculture. Simplification of tax administration, reduction of the tax burden and simplification of procedures create favorable conditions for expanding production, modernizing farms and attracting investments in the agricultural sector," said Deputy Chairman of the State Revenue Committee of the Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Kazakhstan Zhanybek Nurzhanov.The next seminar will be held on August 14 in Kokshetau, Akmola region.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/minfin/press/news/details/1050524?lang=kk

Since January 2025, a new Law "On Public Procurement" has entered into force, aimed at improving the quality of purchased goods, works, and services, simplifying procurement procedures and further automating them.One of the important tools for implementing the provisions of the Law is the web portal of public procurement, which provides a single point of access to electronic public procurement services for all participants in the procurement process.Due to the complete digitalization of procedures (from planning to the fulfillment of contractual obligations, procedures are automated), the web portal has become a guarantee of openness, accountability and accessibility of information for all stakeholders.So, taking into account the new Law in 2025 on the web portal:- the terms of the competition have been shortened (discussion of the tender documentation from 5 to 2 working days; acceptance of applications from 15 to 5 working days; consideration of applications from 10 to 3 working days);- a new procedure for appealing the results of purchases has been implemented. In order to conduct the procurement promptly and avoid delaying the procedure, complaints are considered by the procurement organizers themselves;- work continues on the priority purchase of domestically produced goods on the web portal by establishing exemptions from the national regime in order to support the domestic market;in order to support small and medium-sized businesses, priority procurement of goods, works and services has been established, the cost of which does not exceed 50,000 MCI from this category of entities;- in order to promote competition and protect business, applications from suppliers who are government agencies and quasi-public sector entities are automatically rejected by the web portal if there are at least two applications from suppliers who are private business entities. In addition, a Single procurement platform has been launched on the basis of a Single Operator, through integration with existing procurement sites (goszakup.gov.kz , zakup.sk.kz , mitwork.kz), which provides a single access point for participation in public procurement, procurement of national companies and procurement of the Samruk-Kazyna Fund.Based on the results of the measures taken on the web portal:- the number of registered users amounted to more than 18 thousand customers and 102 thousand suppliers;- the amount of concluded contracts doubled from 3.4 trillion tenge (2024) to 7.2 trillion tenge (2025);- the number of concluded contracts increased by 23% from 870 thousand (2024) to 1,072 thousand (2025);- the number of complaints filed was reduced by 25% from 22 thousand (2024) to 16 thousand (2025);- the amount of contracts concluded with domestic producers increased by 137% from 150.8 billion tenge (2024) to 357.0 billion tenge (2025).Thanks to full digitalization, every step in the procurement process is recorded in the electronic system and automatically saved on the portal. This structure contributes to the formation of a competitive environment where all suppliers have equal conditions for participation. This opens the way for new market participants and stimulates the growth of the quality of public procurement.In addition, anyone can track purchase announcements, bidding results, concluded contracts, and customer actions. This enhances public control and reduces the risks of unfair practices.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/minfin/press/news/details/1049405?lang=kk

Everyone is concerned about the quality of their work. Whether it is construction, repairs, or supplies of materials, it is important that the contractor has the necessary level of competence and responsibility. That is why the availability of proven experience becomes the main factor in the successful implementation of various projects. Therefore, the Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Kazakhstan, together with relevant government agencies and the National Chamber of Entrepreneurs Atameken, has begun reviewing existing mechanisms for assessing the experience of participants in the public procurement market in the construction industry. New approaches to proof of work experience include:Accounting of experience in off-budget projects only for technically complex facilities where customers are non-governmental legal entities (information is confirmed through the Gosexpertiza State Enterprise system); The limit on the number of objects considered is no more than three objects per year when evaluating experience as a criterion affecting the participant's price offer.; Confirmation of experience in facilities of state institutions and quasi-public sector entities funded only by public investments (indicated in the expert opinion); Additional requirements for quasi-public sector facilities: a notification coupon and an expert opinion are required among the supporting documents. The corresponding order of the Acting Minister of Finance dated August 6, 2025 No. 425 "On Amendments and Additions to Certain Orders of the Minister of Finance of the Republic of Kazakhstan" (registered with the Ministry of Justice of the Republic of Kazakhstan on August 6, 2025 No. 36586) will enter into force after ten calendar days after the date of its first official publication (zan.gov.kz ).Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/minfin/press/news/details/1047573?lang=kk

Shymkent on the move: how the city is rebuilding its transport system Shymkent is one of the fastest growing cities in Kazakhstan, and the transport infrastructure here has long required adaptation to new realities. Population growth, an increase in the number of cars and the expansion of the urban area pose the task for the authorities - to transform disparate road sections into a single and sustainable system. A comprehensive program to upgrade the transport infrastructure was launched in the metropolis in 2024. It covers not only the construction of roads and interchanges, but also the modernization of stops, safety systems and lighting. Scale: from streets to highways According to official data, by the end of 2024, 75% of city roads were already in good or satisfactory condition. In 2025, it is planned to increase this figure to 90%. The main efforts are aimed at developing connectivity and reducing the load on central streets. Among the major projects is the construction of railway crossings on Momynova and Tlenshina streets in the Yenbekshinsky district. They will connect the eastern part of the city with the center, which will redistribute traffic flows and reduce congestion on existing highways. Construction on Momynova started in December 2024 and is already half complete. At the same time, major repairs are underway on the emergency bridge at the intersection of Koikeldi Batyr and Aknazar Khan streets. The work will be completed by the end of 2025. One of the most ambitious projects was the extension of Kunayev Avenue. The total length of the route is 16.3 km, the work is divided into six stages. Some sections have already been completed, two more are planned to be completed by the end of the year, and the final stage - in 2026. The new avenue should become an alternative to the busy Respubliki Avenue and relieve traffic on the way out of the city. The reconstruction of the A-2 bypass road is also actively underway. This 28.2 km long transit corridor connects Shymkent with other regions of the country and plays a key role in cargo transportation. The first four stages have already been completed, and three more are planned for completion in 2025. The last stage will be completed in 2026. Part of the strategy also includes the construction of new connecting streets: the extension of Kaziyev Street (1.7 km) will provide an alternative exit from the northern microdistricts of Akzhayik and ShymCity. By 2026, the authorities intend to completely pave 850 streets with a total length of over 1,000 km. Of these, 540 streets will be paved this year. Focus on safety: from pedestrians to lighting Along with road construction, efforts to ensure road safety are being stepped up. In 2025, 32 new traffic lights will appear in the city, 10 of which have already been installed. Unregulated pedestrian crossings are another weak link in the system. Currently, more than 140 of the planned 200 points are illuminated. Work is also underway to install 6,000 road signs (half of which have already been installed), to install speed bumps near schools (1,200 meters), and to renew sidewalks — 180 km have already been put in order. Additionally, the markings on 500 km of streets have been updated, and new irrigation channels have been installed in flood zones (30 streets). The street lighting program covers 2,743 streets, of which 1,550 are already equipped with lamps.

As part of the strengthening of Kazakh-Chinese economic cooperation, the implementation of the innovative pilot project "Smart Customs" at the border checkpoints "Bakhty" (RK) - "Pokitu" (PRC) has begun. An important element of the initiative will be the launch of unmanned cargo transportation aimed at improving the efficiency and digitalization of customs logistics.The draft was agreed upon during a working meeting between Chairman of the State Revenue Committee of the Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Kazakhstan Zhandos Duisembiev and Secretary of the Party Committee of Tacheng City (Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region) Mr. Zhi Xianwei.The parties signed a cooperation agreement. It provides for joint work on the project, coordination of actions and exchange of experience in the field of digitalization of customs and logistics processes.Smart Customs includes several modern solutions that will make border crossing faster and more convenient. Instead of drivers, goods will be transported by unmanned vehicles that will be able to cross the border automatically.In addition, a single electronic declaration has been launched, which is recognized by both countries, and paperwork and cargo support will become fully digital. Cargo will be able to move around the clock, with almost no human involvement, thanks to automatic navigation and monitoring systems.Expected effect: increase in cargo traffic to 10 million tons per year; significant reduction of time for customs clearance; reduced transportation costs; increasing the transparency and security of logistics operations; unloading of automotive infrastructure and development of logistics hubs;stimulating the export of agricultural products, including grain, oilseeds, meat and processed goods.Smart customs will help to upgrade the infrastructure at the border, create new jobs and attract investments. The project will also increase trade with China and strengthen Kazakhstan's role as an important transit hub in Central Asia.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/minfin/press/news/details/1038766?lang=kk
