Regional Akim Nurlybek Nalibayev, along with the heads of relevant agencies, met with representatives of the «Harvest Kazakhstan» company.Collaboration was discussed at the meeting.«Our region is a dynamically developing agro-industrial zone with great potential for partnership and investment. The region's socioeconomic status is directly dependent on the water level of the SyrDarya River.The main crop grown is rice, which requires a lot of water. The total area under cultivation is 190,000 hectares, of which 80,000-85,000 hectares are allocated to rice. More than 90% of the country's rice is produced in the Kyzylorda region.In accordance with the instructions of the Head of State, given in his Address, regarding water conservation and advanced processing of agricultural products, we plan to reduce rice cultivation and increase the area under corn.We held talks on this topic with the manager of a corn and starch processing plant in the city of Zharkent. The project includes the construction of a drying facility in the first phase (2025-2026) and a deep corn processing plant in the second phase (2026-2029).For the plant to operate effectively, at least 20,000 hectares of land must be planted with corn.

Tax law reform will open up new opportunities for the economy and tourism 13.10.2025
The new Tax Code will affect all sectors of the economy, from agriculture and tourism to industry and services. Therefore, the Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Kazakhstan conducts explanatory work throughout the country. Seminars and meetings are organized for entrepreneurs and residents, where experts talk about the new rules and answer questions from entrepreneurs.So, in Konayev, in the assembly hall of the Department of State Revenue for the Almaty region, a seminar for taxpayers of the region was held with the participation of Deputy Chairman of the State Revenue Committee of the Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Kazakhstan Zhanybek Nurzhanov.The city of Konaev is a young regional town near the shores of the Kapshagai reservoir, which is gradually strengthening its position in the field of domestic tourism in the region. Therefore, special attention was paid at the meeting to taxation issues in the tourism industry.The new Tax Code provides for simplified tax regimes and reduced rates for entrepreneurs working in this field. Now there will be three of them. The first one is for self-employed citizens who will be able to pay a single payment, including income tax and mandatory pension contributions. The second mode is based on a simplified declaration and is suitable for small and medium-sized businesses: the tax will be only 3% of income. The third mode is intended for peasant (farm) farms with preferential rates, allowing farmers to invest more in the development of production."In addition, the new code is aimed at reducing the shadow economy and increasing transparency of financial flows. For the tourism business, this means not only fair competition, but also access to state support measures, including within the framework of state regional development programs. All this should stimulate the emergence of new recreation areas, improve the quality of services and increase the attractiveness of Kazakhstan in the international tourism market," said Zhanybek Nurzhanov.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/minfin/press/news/details/1070835?lang=kk

Meeting with entrepreneurs and the population of the Zhetisu region to explain the new Tax Code 13.10.2025
On September 17, 2025, in the city of Taldykorgan, in preparation for the entry into force of the new Tax Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan, an on-site explanatory seminar for entrepreneurs and residents of the Zhetisu region was held with the participation of Deputy Chairman of the State Revenue Committee Nurzhanov Zhanybek and representatives of the National Chamber of Entrepreneurs Atameken.The new code, signed by President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev on July 18, 2025, is aimed at radically transforming the tax system, introducing transparency principles and adapting to modern economic realities. As the Head of State noted, the key goal of the reform is not only to change the norms, but also to form a new mentality of taxpayers.The new Tax Code will become an important tool for the development of the economy of Zhetisu, where the main focus is on agriculture, tourism and entrepreneurship. Its main goals are to reduce the shadow economy, simplify work with tax authorities and increase the efficiency of tax administration.Major changes:Differentiation of the tax burden. Socially significant industries such as medicine and education will pay a reduced corporate tax of 5% in 2026. A progressive scale of individual income tax is being introduced, which is aimed at a fair distribution of the tax burden, 10% for incomes up to 8,500 MCI (about 33.5 million tenge) and 15% for higher incomes.Simplification of tax regimes. There are three main modes left. Reducing the number of special tax regimes to three will simplify the system for local entrepreneurs. Regimes for the self-employed, based on a simplified declaration, and for peasant (farm) farms (KFH) will become the basis for doing business, especially in the agricultural sector, which is dominant in the economy of Zhetisu.Fight against business fragmentation. The VAT rate is increased to 16%, and the registration threshold is lowered. This will help bring large enterprises out of the shadows and create fair competition.The luxury tax. Excise taxes are introduced on expensive cars, yachts, airplanes and real estate with a total value of over 450 million tenge, which will affect the most affluent citizens and direct additional funds to the budget for the implementation of socially significant programs in the regions.The next seminar in the framework of a series of clarifications of the norms of the tax code will be held on September 18, 2025 in the city of Konayev.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/minfin/press/news/details/1069963?lang=kk

Full digitalization of public procurement 13.10.2025
Currently, the entire public procurement process (from planning to payment) is carried out electronically on the web portal www.goszakup.gov.kz . This ensured full automation of all business processes.The electronic format covers all procedures: procurement, conclusion and registration of contracts, use of electronic bank guarantees, registration of acts of delivery of goods, performance of works and provision of services, electronic invoices and invoices for payment.The wide integration of the web portal with the information systems of government agencies makes it possible to automatically check potential suppliers for compliance with qualification requirements, the presence or absence of tax and court debts, as well as participation in the register of unscrupulous suppliers. This significantly increased transparency and eliminated the human factor in decision-making.According to an international study by Global Data Barometer, Kazakhstan's procurement system ranks 3rd in the world in terms of accessibility and transparency.Since January 1, 2025, the new Law of the Republic of Kazakhstan "On Public Procurement" has been put into effect. One of its goals was to create a Single procurement platform that unites all types of regulated procurement: public procurement, procurement of quasi-public sector entities, procurement of the National Welfare Fund, as well as procurement of catering for educational institutions and others.The unified procurement platform was created on the basis of JSC "Center for Electronic Finance" and integrated with existing systems goszakup.gov.kz , zakup.sk .kz and mitwork.kz . It is integrated with more than 20 government information systems, including the Judicial Cabinet, Treasury-Client, the Register of Debtors, the Register of Real Estate, the e-Licensing system and others.The launch of a Single Platform has provided transparent, convenient and unified access to all types of regulated purchases. The new approach will increase the level of competition among suppliers, reduce the risks of unfair practices and ensure more efficient use of budget funds.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/minfin/press/news/details/1069798?lang=kk
