In an environment of openness and constant interaction between the state and society, issues of official ethics take on particular significance. The level of public trust in government agencies, the quality of services provided, and the overall image of the civil service directly depend on the behavior of civil servants.In the Republic of Kazakhstan, standards of official ethics are enshrined in the Ethical Code of Civil Servants of the Republic of Kazakhstan, approved by Decree No. 153 of the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan dated December 29, 2015.Basic Principles of Official EthicsThe Ethical Code establishes that, when performing official duties, civil servants are obligated to:• observe the law, principles of fairness, and impartiality;• respect the rights and legitimate interests of citizens;• avoid actions that undermine trust in the civil service;• be polite, correct, and tactful when interacting with citizens.Off-duty Conduct and ReputationThe Ethical Code applies not only to off-duty activities. Civil servants must remember that their off-duty behavior, including social media activity, also impacts the reputation of the civil service.The Code stipulates that civil servants must:• refrain from actions that could provoke public condemnation;• prevent the dissemination of false information;• adhere to generally accepted standards of morality and business ethics.Responsibility for Violating Ethical StandardsViolating the requirements of the Code of Ethics may result in disciplinary action. The primary goal of the Ethics Commissioner is to prevent violations and foster a culture of conscientious and respectful behavior, not punitive measures.In conclusion, it should be noted that service ethics is not a formality, but an important tool for improving the quality of civil service. Polite treatment of citizens, adherence to business communication standards, and the personal responsibility of each civil servant contribute to strengthening public trust in the state and fostering a positive image of the civil service as a whole.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/mti/press/news/details/1158764?lang=kk

На четвертом заседании Проектного офиса по внедрению Налогового кодекса, прошедшем сегодня под председательством заместителя Премьер-министра – министра национальной экономики Серика Жумангарина, рассмотрены обращения организаций, в которых трудоустроены люди с инвалидностью. Поднятые вопросы касались порядка налогообложения таких работников в связи с изменениями, внесенными в новый Налоговый кодекс.В ходе обсуждения налоговой реформы в Парламенте изменения, направленные на обеспечение равных условий для всех организаций, трудоустраивающих людей с инвалидностью, изменены подходы. В частности, по предложениям депутатов в целях применения налоговой льготы по корпоративному подоходному налогу с 2026 года применяется единая доля фонда оплаты труда работников с инвалидностью 51%. То есть ранее действовавшая норма о доле 35% для специализированных организаций, в которых работают люди с инвалидностью по потере слуха, речи, зрения, исключена. Принятая норма устраняет избирательный подход к налогоплательщикам и расширяет возможности для занятости людей с инвалидностью вне зависимости от организационно-правовой формы работодателя. При этом льготы по индивидуальному подоходному налогу для самих работников с инвалидностью сохранены в полном объеме. Основная цель нормы — стимулировать работодателей к созданию и сохранению рабочих мест.Кроме того, впервые в Налоговый кодекс была введена норма, предусматривающая дифференциацию социальных налоговых вычетов по ИПН в зависимости от группы инвалидности. Если ранее общий порог вычетов для работающих людей с инвалидностью составлял 882 МРП, то в новой редакции эта величина сохранена для лиц с инвалидностью третьей группы. Для работников с инвалидностью первой и второй групп размер вычетов увеличен до 5000 МРП.В то же время в государственные органы начали поступать обращения с практическими вопросами применения данной нормы. В частности, если в течение календарного года у работника ухудшается состояние здоровья и инвалидность третьей группы меняется на первую или вторую либо в ситуациях снижения группы инвалидности, возникает вопрос о порядке расчета ИПН за год. В соответствии с пунктом 2 статьи 404 Налогового кодекса, социальные налоговые вычеты применяются в том календарном году, в котором возникло или имелось ранее основание для их применения. @KZgovernmentSource : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/economy/press/news/details/1157723?lang=kk
