President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev said, “Kazakhstan should become a territory of mass digitization and accelerated development of artificial intelligence. This is our strategic task,” and instructed the Government to fully develop digitization. Within the framework of these main tasks, the Ministry of Justice is implementing the “Digital Justice” project portfolio. It is aimed at improving the quality and accessibility of services, while saving citizens’ financial and time costs, including measures to use artificial intelligence. This was stated by Arman Akylbay, Head of the Department of Justice of Astana, at a briefing in the Communications Service, the official website of the city administration reports.Currently, a unified information system for legal aid is operating - “E-ZanKomegi”. This system is designed to provide qualified legal assistance to the population online.This system is aimed at ensuring and facilitating citizens’ access to qualified legal assistance with the participation of lawyers and legal consultants.“Currently, a consulting service has been launched, where operators provide advice around the clock. To get advice, you need to select the appropriate section on the “EGov.KZ” portal and leave a request for service.Also, the possibility of providing legal advice is being considered through the “Zan Komegi” information system. Such legal advice is provided by lawyers and legal advisors. In addition, a chat bot with artificial intelligence elements for providing legal advice has been developed and is being tested in the experimental environment of the “Zan Komegi” mobile application,” said Arman AkylbayIn order to introduce artificial intelligence, the ministry has created a working group together with IT organizations. ZAN BAR, IPRAV, QarMU, KazNTU, KazNU and other organizations are participating in it.In Astana, 102,142 notarial acts were executed in 2023-2024 without visiting a notary.Now citizens can receive these services online via video call without visiting a notary.All ready-made documents are displayed in the “Digital Documents” service on the “E.Gov.kz” portal.Client identification is carried out using biometric means, which made it possible to avoid the risks of misidentifying people with similar external signs.For information security purposes, additional two-factor authentication has been introduced - verification via SMS code and EDS (electronic digital signature).The Ministry of Justice, together with the Notary Chamber, has transferred a number of notarial services, such as powers of attorney, advice, spouses' agreements and applications for the absence of marriage, to the online format replaced.In August 2024, the Ministry of Justice of the Republic of Kazakhstan, together with the Republican Chamber of the Republic of Kazakhstan, launched the pilot project “Board of Justice Robot”.The “Digital Bailiff” has a number of advantages:- since all actions are performed automatically, it is exempt from the costs of paying for personal security services and their visits;- Up to 20 MCI after the initiation of proceedings, the Robot sends a message to the debtor with detailed information about the simplified proceedings through several channels (1. SMS message from 1414, 2. Push notification in the EGov Mobile application).- unlike the JSO, the robot blocks only 1 bank account within the amount of the debtor, while the JSO blocks all accounts;- for the convenience of citizens, there is an opportunity to pay the debt online. This includes the automatic lifting of all security measures (arrests). Thus, the human factor is completely eliminated;- this project does not require interaction with bailiffs. All actions are carried out online. It is not necessary to present receipts and other supporting documents to terminate proceedings and lift bans. In addition to digitizing the field of enforcement proceedings, the project has allowed citizens to save about 5 billion tenge annually."Previously, in case of failure to repay debts on time, citizens were forced to pay a private bailiff up to 25% for his services. According to statistics, from the moment the Digital Bailiff was launched to the present day, 1,555 simplified proceedings have been initiated in Astana based on court decisions for the amount of 73,080,358 tenge.23,780 simplified enforcement proceedings have been initiated based on decisions of authorized bodies for the amount of 466,139,097 tenge. "In total, 25,335 simplified enforcement proceedings were initiated for the amount of 539,219,455 tenge," the speaker concluded.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/astana/press/news/details/937189

The Minister of Finance of the Republic of Kazakhstan, Madi Takiev, and the Vice Minister of National Economy, Azamat Amrin, discussed with business representatives the Government's proposals on establishing differentiated VAT rates as part of the tax reform.The meeting was organized with the support of the Atameken NCE, and was attended by more than 150 representatives of business, associations, public and industry associations. Among them were representatives of the Kazakhstan Association of Tax Consultants, the Self-Regulating Public Catering Organization, members of the regional councils of the Astana Chamber of Entrepreneurs and the committees of the processing and pharmaceutical, medical industries, the Atameken NCE, the Alageum Electric group of companies, the Petro Mining Association, and others.“The Head of State, Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, emphasized that the tax system should be balanced. This was a clear instruction. It should take into account the interests of business and the state. Today we have gathered to discuss one of the main issues, which concerns value-added tax. We hold many meetings in the regions with the participation of representatives of the Ministries of Economy, Finance, and the Atameken Chamber. The work is extensive and comprehensive. All proposals received at our address are listened to. We will form a single position, because the Tax Code should be very simple, understandable, and specific,” Madi Takiev noted. VAT is one of the main sources of budget replenishment. Increasing and differentiating the VAT rate will reduce the budget’s dependence on variable oil revenues and finance priority state projects. In turn, Vice Minister of National Economy Azamat Amrin outlined the Government’s proposals for establishing differentiated VAT rates as part of the tax reform. “We propose to consider the following mechanism: a general fixed VAT rate of 16%, complete exemption of agricultural producers from VAT, and for a number of industries – an intermediate rate of 10%. Thus, the differentiation of rates proposed by the Government: 16%, 10%, 0% and exemption",— explained Azamat Amrin.It was noted that currently in the agricultural sector, farms do not pay VAT, and legal entities pay only 30% of the taxes due to the existing benefits to the budget. Under the new mechanisms, none of them will pay VAT. This will make Kazakhstani agricultural products (potatoes, tomatoes, onions, etc.) more competitive. The types of industries in which the 10% rate will apply are still being discussed with business.The meeting also made proposals for reviewing the simplified declaration and retail tax regime, the essence of which is to maintain the income threshold at 600 thousand MCI (2 billion 359 million tenge) per year. The main change is to implement this regime only in the B2C segment (retail trade). It was proposed to remove the restriction on the number of employees. If the entrepreneur's income from sales exceeds 100 million tenge per year, it is possible to reduce taxable income by the amount of the wage fund (wage payment fund). Thus, the limit of 100 million tenge will provide an incentive to justify wages. At the same time, the 4% retail tax rate (with the possibility of a 50% reduction by maslikhats) will be maintained.It is expected that tax revenues to the country's budget will increase by 4-5 trillion tenge annually during the implementation of the tax reform. These funds will help reduce dependence on the National Fund; reduce the level of state debt and direct additional resources to credit investment projects, strengthen development institutions, and modernize the housing and communal services, heat and energy systems of Astana city. According to the Kazhydromet RSE of the Astana city, a tornado will occur in Astana on February 13. The wind will blow from the southwest, with a force of 15-20, with a daytime gust of 23-28 m/s.

Wear warm clothes and non-slip shoes.- Check the heating system. Make sure that the heating in your home is working properly and there is enough fuel.- Do not stay on the street for a long time - frost and wind can cause frostbite.In case of emergency, call "101" and "112".Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/astana/press/news/details/937283

Our opponents are also familiar. My personal plan was to win 1 gold and 1 silver medal. However, I took 4th place at a distance of 3,000 meters. I was nervous at a distance of 1,500 meters and could not show myself at my full potential. As a result, I took 7th place. I will have to be content with a bronze medal. The competition will not stop there. I will analyze my mistakes and take a step forward," Nadezhda Morozova concluded.It should be noted that the Winter Asian Games will be held from February 7 to 14.

KAZLLM LARGE LANGUAGE MODEL DEVELOPEDAs ​​part of the task of the Head of State, a large-scale language model KazLLM has been developed, aimed at developing artificial intelligence in the Kazakh language.Within the framework of the implementation of this task, the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Republic of Kazakhstan, involving the Institute of Intelligent Systems and Artificial Intelligence (ISSAI NU) at Nazarbayev University, scientific institutes and universities, carried out work to provide the Kazakh language corpus necessary for the KazLLM national language model.This event is aimed at creating effective solutions for processing, translating, analyzing text information in the Kazakh language and integrating the Kazakh language into modern technologies. In the context of globalization and preserving the cultural identity of the country, the importance of the project is even greater.More than 140 scientists and employees of 26 leading institutes and universities of the country, who participated in the development of the Kazakh-language corpus required for KazLLM, were engaged in the preparation of large volumes of data in 115 fields of economics, finance, mathematics, history, biology, chemistry, medicine, technology and others. For example, the Kazakh National University named after Al-Farabi was engaged in the preparation of data in the fields of philosophy, ethics, PR, astronomy, astrophysics, information technology, the Institute of Mathematics and Mathematical Modeling in the field of mathematics, the Sh. Ualikhanov Institute of History and Ethnology in the field of history, and medical universities were engaged in the preparation of data in the field of medicine. This cooperation with scientific and higher education institutions contributed to the creation of unique content in the Kazakh language, which ensured the high-quality and effective development of the model.Today, the open-source version of KazLLM is available on the https://huggingface.co/issai platform.This model, which is an important part of the digital infrastructure, will be used for non-commercial scientific and academic purposes, as well as in the development of chatbots, virtual assistants, and automatic translators similar to Google Translate.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/sci/press/news/details/937206
