Compared to the corresponding period last year, the republican budget revenue increased by 614.9 billion tenge, or the growth rate reached 102.9% (data for 2023 - 20.9 trillion tenge).Including the revenue plan:- the republican budget actually received 13.5 trillion tenge instead of the planned 14.1 trillion tenge.

Accordingly, the plan was 97.1%, or 12.3 trillion tenge instead of the planned 12.7 trillion. The amount of the shortfall is 366.7 billion tenge.Compared to the corresponding period of the previous year, the Republic of Kazakhstan's taxes decreased by 604.6 billion tenge, or 4.7% (data for 2023 - 12.9 trillion tenge).The main factors that influenced the non-implementation of the plan:- a decrease in the volume of imports from 3 countries (by 4.4% for 2024 compared to 2023);- the continuation of the downward trend in prices for basic export metals (in the 1st quarter of 2024, zinc prices decreased by 21.7%, aluminum by 8.3%, copper by 5.4%, and lead by 3%; in the 1st half of 2024, zinc prices decreased by 6.8%, lead by 1.4%, and lead by 3% compared to 2024);- Compared to the previous period, VAT was refunded from the budget 3 times more (282.6%) (from 430 billion tenge in 2023 to 1,216 billion tenge in 2024), including loans in the amount of 594 billion tenge until 2023 that were fully repaid. This provided businesses with working capital and was a significant support for them;- a decrease in the income of a number of large enterprises due to a reduction in production, output, supply volumes and increased logistics costs due to the geopolitical situation (tax revenues from 188 large enterprises to the Republic of Kazakhstan decreased by 1.4 trillion tenge, or from 4.6 trillion tenge in 2023 to 3.2 trillion tenge in 2024);- a decrease in the volume of taxable oil exports by 1.7 million tons, or 4% (in 2023 - 42.9 million tons, in 2024 - 41.2 million).Due to the tax and customs administration and the digitalization of this area, additional revenues of 1,112.8 billion tenge were received in 2024, including:- tax administration - 952.6 billion tenge (subsoil user administration - 296 billion, administration of large taxpayers - 157.1 billion, cameral control - 207.6 billion, tax audit - 126.8 billion, etc.);- customs administration - 160.2 billion tenge.Reference: (2019 - 916 billion tenge, 2020 - 710 billion tenge, 2021 - 681 billion tenge, 2022 - 726 billion tenge, 2023 - 931 billion tenge).The plan for non-tax revenues to the Republic of Belarus was fulfilled by 83.2%, or the amount not fulfilled according to the plan was 242 billion tenge (1,443.4 billion tenge according to the plan, 1,201.4 billion tenge in fact). This was due to the non-receipt of planned payments under additional measures (253 billion tenge of unfulfilled dividends on state-owned shares) (ERG and others).Regarding local budget revenues (excluding transfers).The structure of local budget revenues consists of 92.2% tax revenues. Accordingly, the plan was implemented by 110.5%, and instead of the planned 6.7 trillion tenge, the budget received 7.4 trillion tenge, or the over-fulfillment of the budget plan on taxes reached 701.1 billion tenge.At the same time, compared to the same period last year, tax revenues increased by 1.4 trillion tenge, or the growth rate increased by 123.2% (data for 2023 - 6 trillion tenge).The over-fulfillment of the plan was mainly influenced by an increase in the state tax by 249.3 billion tenge or 11.3% (2.2 trillion tenge was planned, 2.5 trillion tenge was actually received), as well as an increase in the tax on small and medium-sized businesses (hereinafter - the SME tax) - by 245 billion tenge or 18.6% (1.3 trillion tenge was planned, 1.6 trillion tenge was actually received) and the social tax by 127.5 billion tenge or The increase by 8.8% (1.5 trillion tenge was planned, 1.6 trillion tenge was actually received) also contributed.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/minfin/press/news/details/925649

The "Qarabau-2" mound, located 10 kilometers north of the village of Karabau in the Kyzylkoga district, has a diameter of 70 and a height of 3 meters. As a result of the work carried out on the mound in 2023-2024, 9 graves were examined, seven of which were found to be unrobbery. During the study of the graves, it became known that they were built in the 5th century BC. Various jewelry, objects, weapons, and vessels made of ceramics and bone were found in them. According to archaeologists, there were also cases of mass burials of corpses. Judging by the jewelry found in the mounds and the items and weapons used, experts have assessed them as "royal mounds", - reports the Regional Communications Service.The results of the 2-year archaeological work of the Atyrau Regional Museum of History and Local Lore were presented at the "Sarmatian Gold" exhibition. The event was attended by the deputy akim of the region, Daryn Shamuratov, heads of the regional department for the development of culture and languages, and historians."Scientists have previously considered our region to be the outskirts of the Sarmatian Empire. Judging by the results of the excavations we conducted, we can say that it was the center of a large empire in the Caspian lowland, the Urals, and the Zhem River basin. The total number of artifacts found is about a thousand. About a hundred of them are gold ornaments and jewelry. They are made in the style of animals. The images of predators that inhabited the region at that time (leopard, wild boar, tiger, deer) can be seen on the finds. As part of this research, a double bowl made of wood, which had not been found before, was preserved in good condition. Currently, they are being restored," said the head of the archaeological expedition, Marat Kasenov.A total of 3 mounds were excavated. Approximately 10-15 graves have been identified in each. According to archaeologists, the Sarmatians, being of a theistic religious view, were buried with their tools, as well as their belongings and weapons. The burial mounds "Karakuduk-1" and "Karakuduk-2" are located 9.7 kilometers northwest of the village of Karabau. During the study of the double burial mound, silver pictograms (images of saiga antelope and wolf), jewelry, household items, iron and bronze weapons, etc. were found. Two touchstones with gold handles, which have never been found in our country, were found in the "Karakuduk-2" burial mound. In the past, the Sarmatians used this stone to determine the purity, that is, the quality, of gold. Currently, such stones are used by those who buy gold. I would also like to mention that gold labels worn on human clothing were found in burial sites. Their weight starts from 2 grams. The heaviest gold ornament is a bracelet with a mountain leopard on both sides. Its weight is about 370 grams, - said Galamat Bazarbayev, head of the archaeological and scientific research support department of the Atyrau Regional Museum of History and Local Lore.20 workers and 5 museum employees participated in the excavations. Anthropologists were invited from Astana and Almaty. As a result of general exploration work, the mounds near the village of Karabau were discovered in 2005. According to archaeologists, there are currently about 500 Sarmat mounds in the Atyrau region.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/atyrau/press/news/details/925518
