  The first universal rescue unit was inaugurated in the Karaganda region. The ceremony was attended by the Minister of Emergency Situations of the Republic of Kazakhstan, Major General Chingiz Arinov, the regional governor Yermaganbet Bolekpayev, veterans of civil defense agencies and representatives of the industrial sector.  The new unit was created on the basis of a modern three-story fire station and will become an important element of the emergency response system. Its main feature is that rescuers will be engaged not only in extinguishing fires, but also in carrying out emergency rescue operations, as well as monitoring industrial safety at strategically important facilities.  When choosing a place for the construction of the depot, all issues were considered. The facility is located in such a way that it will include, in addition to residential areas and social facilities, large industrial enterprises. Particular attention was paid to its proximity to the "Steel Department" of Qarmet JSC, one of the leading metallurgical complexes in the region. Since there is a high risk of technogenic accidents, quick action of rescuers is required.  All conditions have been created for the employees to work: a modern gym of the departmental sports club "Batyr team", a psychological assistance room, a shower, a canteen, administrative offices and a spacious hangar with equipment. The department will include employees of the Temirtau Emergency Management Department, the Industrial Safety and Emergency Rescue Services Department. It is also planned to create a branch of the Center for Disaster Medicine of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of the Republic of Kazakhstan on the basis of the universal department.  During the ceremony, Minister Chingiz Arinov noted the importance of social support for rescuers and handed over the keys to the service apartments.  The head of the department expressed gratitude to local executive bodies for their support in implementing the project.“The opening of the universal rescue department is a strategic step towards strengthening the safety of Temirtau and its industrial facilities. "Thanks to the professionalism of our employees and modern equipment, we can effectively respond to any threat," the minister noted.  As part of the opening, the unit was provided with specialized equipment. This will significantly increase its mobility and technical equipment.  The creation of a universal rescue unit will not only reduce the response time to emergency situations, but also reduce potential threats and losses.  The Ministry of Emergency Situations of Kazakhstan continues systematic work to strengthen civil protection services, gradually increasing the level of security in the country.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/emer/press/news/details/948713

The Prime Minister of the Republic of Kazakhstan, Olzhas Bektenov, held a working meeting with the Deputy Prime Minister - Minister of National Economy, Serik Zhumangarin, and the Minister of Finance, Madi Takiyev. The issues of tax and budget reform and strengthening control over tax revenues were considered.The Minister of Finance, Madi Takiyev, reported that as part of the analysis, facts of the use of previously introduced special tax regimes (SRTs) by unscrupulous taxpayers as a legal scheme to optimize tax obligations in order to support and develop small businesses were identified.Today, 2.3 million taxpayers are registered in the country. Of these, only 8%, or 137 thousand, are VAT payers. 81% of the total number of entities operate under a special tax regime using a simplified declaration, and 85% of them indicate income of up to 15 million tenge.“We analyzed the mutual settlements of entities using special tax regimes with companies operating under the generally established regime. The analysis shows that the mutual settlements between such regimes increased by 2 times last year - from 5 trillion to 10 trillion tenge. At the same time, out of the total turnover of 16 trillion tenge under special tax regimes, the mutual settlements with the generally established regime amount to 10 trillion tenge. That is, hundreds of billions of tenge are earned, and taxpayers pay only a small amount of tax,” said Madi Takiev, citing a number of fragmentation schemes used by businesses.To optimize taxes and reduce profits, companies adhere to the principle of increasing “documentary” costs. One company purchases goods and resells them at cost to another legal entity operating in an optimized regime. As a result, the first company shows losses, while the second, using preferential terms, evades paying VAT. Also, the method of dividing a business into several legal entities is used. For example, a bar, a dining room and karaoke in one institution are registered as individual companies, or each floor of a hotel belongs to a different individual entrepreneur. When the income of one of them reaches 78 million tenge, its activities are terminated, and another legal entity takes its place, which allows evading VAT."To reduce the burden on the payroll fund, employees of the enterprise are dismissed, registered as individual entrepreneurs, and serve the former employer not as employees, but as individuals. Accordingly, tax payments to the payroll fund are reduced, and social responsibility is removed from the employer, and further it is assumed by the entrepreneur," said Madi Takiev.In this regard, the Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Kazakhstan proposes a number of measures to combat fragmentation in order to improve tax administration:introducing a legislative criterion for business fragmentation; introducing the principle of the primacy of substance over form in tax disputes; introducing methods for monitoring and proving such facts;limiting the types of activities for individual entrepreneurs."From the information of the Minister of Finance, we see that there are entrepreneurs who do not fulfill their duties honestly, using various schemes for optimizing the tax burden. With billions of turnover, they pay amounts to the budget that do not correspond to the profits they earn. We have a complete list of such large companies. The list includes BI Group, BAZIS and many other large construction companies. There are well-known and popular restaurants, fitness clubs and various companies operating in other sectors of the economy.Taking this opportunity, I would like to address the owners and managers of large companies that are currently using various schemes for optimizing the tax burden. Today or tomorrow, your companies will receive notifications from the tax authorities about the need to pay additional tax amounts. "I ask everyone to submit additional tax returns to the tax authorities within two weeks and pay a fair amount of tax.If these actions are not taken, the state reserves the right to use all resources at its disposal, including fiscal and law enforcement agencies.The requirement will be strict, but if business fairly fulfills its obligations to the state, we are ready to enter into a dialogue," Olzhas Bektenov noted.

The system provides for state financing and support for such families.According to the innovation, such parents can be Kazakhstanis aged 30 to 63 with a private housing of 15 square meters per person. Each parent is paid 70 MCI for the services of a tutor monthly and 10 MCI for the maintenance of a child.A contract is concluded with the family in advance, stipulating the conditions for raising a child. Once every six months, parents submit a report to the guardianship authorities on health, child upbringing and expenditure of funds. Guardianship authorities have the right to visit professional foster families without prior notice.As a result of the event, the importance and essence of the Institute of Professional Foster Families were explained in detail to state bodies.It should be noted that the “Mother's House” Foundation, a project of Kazakhstani businessmen, has been carrying out its activities for more than 12 years with the aim of preventing social orphanhood and reducing the number of children entering orphanages annually. The mission of the National Adoption Agency is to develop the culture of adoption in Kazakhstani society, support and professional training of adoptive families.In 20 cities of Kazakhstan, there are consulting rooms where specialists provide advice to citizens (families) who wish to adopt children from orphanages and children's homes into their families. Psychologists prepare potential adoptive parents in the Adoption Schools. To date, 1,966 children have been placed in 1,318 Kazakhstani families with the help of the National Adoption Agency.
