Проектный офис по внедрению Налогового кодекса будет еженедельно рассматривать вопросы бизнеса 21.01.2026
Первое совещание по организации работы проектного офиса по внедрению нового Налогового кодекса прошло сегодня в Правительстве под председательством заместителя Премьер-министра – министра национальной экономики Серика Жумангарина.Проектный офис создается как единый координационный центр для систематизации и оперативного рассмотрения обращений бизнеса, связанных с применением новых норм Налогового кодекса и регуляторики предпринимательства. Его задача – обеспечить согласованные действия государственных органов и выстроить устойчивую обратную связь с предпринимательским сообществом.В первом заседании проектного офиса приняли участие руководство НПП «Атамекен», уполномоченный по защите прав предпринимателей Канат Нуров, представители центральных государственных органов.Ключевая логика работы проектного офиса – принцип «единого окна». Все обращения бизнеса, поступающие через call-центр налоговых органов, Telegram-канал SalykBot, подразделения Комитета государственных доходов, НПП «Атамекен», социальные сети и другие каналы коммуникации, будут аккумулироваться в одном центре. Для типовых обращений будут установлены конкретные сроки подготовки ответов. Вопросы сложного и межведомственного характера будут выноситься на заседания проектного офиса с участием профильных госорганов.Заседания проектного офиса планируется проводить каждую неделю. На них планируется рассматривать наиболее актуальные и часто поднимаемые бизнесом вопросы, вырабатываться решения и предоставляться разъяснения. Итоги работы проектного офиса намерены регулярно доводить до широкой общественности через каналы коммуникации государственных органов и средства массовой информации.Как сообщил вице-министр финансов Ержан Биржанов, в период с 1 по 20 января в налоговой системе зарегистрировано 22 тыс. новых налогоплательщиков, из них более 20 тыс. – индивидуальные предприниматели и около 2 тыс. юридические лица. Количество новых плательщиков НДС составило 7 100. «Режим самозанятых выбрали 137 708 налогоплательщиков. Более 100 тыс. из них – физические лица, ранее не находившиеся в поле налогового администрирования. Новый режим позволяет работать без регистрации ИП и применения кассовых аппаратов, без уплаты налогов, с обязательством только по социальным платежам в размере 4% от дохода», — отметил Ержан Биржанов.Отмечено, что период имплементации сопровождается объективными сложностями. В начале января фиксировались технические проблемы при запуске ИСНА. На сегодняшний день все методологические и технические вопросы урегулированы. Подчеркнуто, что ИСНА является крупнейшей информационной системой в стране, одновременно обслуживающей до 250 тыс. налогоплательщиков.Сегодня основные обращения бизнеса носят прикладной характер и касаются выбора режима налогообложения, подачи уведомлений, корректности обработки данных, выбора ОКЭД, заполнения электронных счетов-фактур и других процедурных вопросов. Для оперативной поддержки налогоплательщиков на постоянной основе работают офисы консультаций при ДГД, call-центр и Telegram-канал SalykBot.С 5 января во всех областных центрах и городах республиканского значения три раза в неделю проводится акция «Народный бухгалтер». В ней участвуют более 100 бухгалтеров, представляющих семь отраслевых ассоциаций. Бесплатные консультации уже получили свыше 3 тыс. человек.Подводя итоги заседания, Серик Жумангарин подчеркнул, что в период реформы основной фокус был сделан на формирование и обсуждение норм Налогового кодекса, тогда как на этапе имплементации ключевое значение приобретают четкие сроки, понятные механизмы и предсказуемость их применения.«Мы понимаем, что в процессе внедрения неизбежно возникают вопросы. Если реагировать на них разрозненно, по ведомствам, риски только накапливаются. Проектный офис создается именно для того, чтобы оперативно и системно решать вопросы бизнеса», — отметил он.В состав проектного офиса вошли представители Министерства финансов, Комитета государственных доходов, Министерства национальной экономики, НПП «Атамекен», Министерства цифрового развития и Министерства юстиции. К работе проектного офиса также будут привлекаться отраслевые ассоциации, частные налоговые консультанты и экспертное сообщество.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/economy/press/news/details/1145531?lang=kk

Kazakhstan is moving towards systemic management of non-resource exports 20.01.2026
Kazakhstan aims to become one of the top three global sunflower oil suppliers and increase its oil and fat exports to over $1 billion by 2028. To achieve this, the country is transitioning from disparate export support measures to systemic industry management, building complete export chains from raw materials and processing to logistics and target markets.The first meeting of the Export Headquarters for the Promotion of Non-Resource Exports this year was held in Astana, chaired by Aidar Abildabekov, Vice Minister of Trade and Integration of the Republic of Kazakhstan. The focus was on new approaches to developing agricultural exports and removing systemic barriers faced by Kazakhstani producers in foreign markets.In 2025, the Export Headquarters' work was transformed into a fundamentally new format. While discussions had previously been focused on a case-by-case basis, five industry meetings were held at QazTrade from May to December, each dedicated to specific product groups: agricultural products, the oil and fat industry, grain processing, honey, and industrial and IT products. This resulted in a refocusing of the headquarters on developing systemic solutions based on the real economics of the industries.A key outcome of this work was the development of a Roadmap for the Development of Oil and Fat Industry Exports for 2026–2028. For the first time, the industry was examined across the entire value chain. As part of the document's preparation, a diagnostic assessment was conducted of more than 30 enterprises engaged in oilseed cultivation in the northern, eastern, and southeastern regions of the country, as well as processing in the Abay, East Kazakhstan, Akmola, Zhetysu, and Almaty regions. More than 50 representatives from the public and private sectors participated in the work, ensuring cooperation between three relevant ministries and utilizing the international methodology of the International Trade Centre with the support of the European Union.The roadmap defined measurable benchmarks for industry development, including increasing processing capacity utilization, expanding export geography, and Kazakhstan's entry into the top three global sunflower oil exporters by 2028. In essence, the industry received a unified, coordinated action plan focused on foreign market demand.The lessons learned served as the basis for scaling up the industry approach to other areas of the agricultural sector. Lentils, a crop demonstrating high export growth rates and surpassing traditional grains in terms of marginality, resilience to climate risks, and export attractiveness, were discussed as an example at the meeting. Special attention was given to systemic barriers to non-resource exports: freight prioritization by rail, phytosanitary and veterinary inspection procedures, registration of Kazakh companies in Chinese registries, reimbursement of export costs, and access to financial support instruments."The roadmap for developing fat and oil exports has created the foundation for the strategic development of the industry. At the same time, it is necessary to expedite the inclusion of oil mills in the register of EAEU commodity producers and simplify quarantine procedures, which will reduce costs and increase export potential," said Yadykar Ibragimov, representative of the National Association of Oilseed Processors."We have created a register of problematic issues, which allows unresolved cases to be manually escalated to the level of the Ministry of Trade and Integration and, if necessary, the Government Executive Office. It was decided to hold headquarters meetings on a regular basis, once a month, based on the industry," noted Aidar Abildabekov. As noted, since the establishment of the Export Headquarters, approximately 20 meetings have been held, including an Exporters' Forum in 2025. QazTrade continues to implement export acceleration programs, organize trade and economic missions, exhibitions, and business forums, as well as provide consulting and financial support to exporters.At the end of the meeting, representatives of the export community and industry associations noted the effectiveness of the Export Headquarters' new format. Exporters emphasized that this approach enables them to quickly find solutions to specific cases and strengthens interactions between businesses and government agencies when entering foreign markets.For reference: To support exporters, 109 industrial and innovation entities received reimbursement for expenses totaling 6.1 billion tenge in 2025. Domestic exporters are now gaining greater access to financial resources. The Export Credit Agency's financial support volume for 2025 reached 650.9 billion tenge, almost 1.9 times higher than the 2024 level (336 billion tenge). The focus is on trade and pre-export financing, which totaled 88.4 billion tenge, a nearly three-fold increase compared to last year. Support was provided to 113 exporters (SMEs accounted for 69%, and medium and high value-added enterprises accounted for 87%) (96 in 2024).Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/mti/press/news/details/1144238?lang=kk
Waste Turns into Income: How Citizens Can Earn Money Without Leaving Home 20.01.2026
In Astana, as part of the implementation of the “Taza Kazakhstan” environmental culture development concept, the environmental initiative “Taza Úi – Taza El” has been launched. The project was initiated by JSC “Zhasyl Damu” with the support of the Ministry of Ecology and Natural Resources of the Republic of Kazakhstan, the Akimat of Astana, and the Nationwide Social Democratic Party. The practical implementation of the project is being carried out by Astana Qaqazy LLP.Within the framework of the initiative, special containers for the separate collection of paper and plastic waste have been installed in courtyards and residential complex areas across the capital. Residents are now able to sort and hand over cardboard, paper, plastic, and bottles in clean condition. All collected waste is sent to recycling plants, where it is given a “second life.”The project is being implemented under the EcoQolday program. The installation of the containers has become an important practical step toward building infrastructure for separate waste collection and engaging citizens in environmentally responsible behavior.“Separate waste collection is not only an issue of ecology and economics, but also an indicator of the level of environmental culture in society. The ‘Taza Úi – Taza El’ initiative aims to ensure that every resident of the capital feels personal responsibility for the cleanliness of their home, city, and country as a whole, while also having the opportunity to earn income and use the funds for household needs,” said Nurzhan Kabdoldanov, Deputy Chairman of the Management Board of JSC “Zhasyl Damu.”The EcoQolday digital platform (https://apps.apple.com/kz/app/ecoqolday/id6475673696) helps reduce the volume of waste sent to landfills, supports the development of the recycling industry, and fosters a conscious approach to resource consumption. For residents, it is a convenient and user-friendly tool for participating in the environmental agenda without additional costs or complications.JSC “Zhasyl Damu” and the project’s partners plan to gradually expand the geography of the initiative, engaging more and more residents in the separate waste collection system and consistently fulfilling their mission to create a clean, sustainable, and environmentally responsible environment in Kazakhstan.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/ecogeo/press/news/details/1144196?lang=kk
