В Актобе прошел круглый стол, посвященный реализации норм нового Налогового кодекса. На площадке встретились депутаты Сената, представители акимата Актюбинской области, Комитета государственных доходов МФ, НПП «Атамекен» и предприниматели региона.Первый вице-министр национальной экономики Азамат Амрин, выступая на круглом столе, подчеркнул, что ключевая задача Налогового кодекса - не просто изменить цифры в законе, а выстроить работающие механизмы, исключающие давление на бизнес.«Для оперативной настройки реформы был создан Проектный офис, ставший штабом быстрого реагирования: уже проведено 10 заседаний, решены 64 конкретных кейса бизнеса, устранены риски при запуске ИСНА и развернута инфраструктура поддержки - от консультационной сети и call-центра до цифровых помощников, включая SalykBot», - сообщил Азамат Амрин в ходе круглого стола.В ходе диалога был озвучен пакет точечных поправок, которые уже вступили в силу или готовятся к внесению в Налоговый кодекс. В частности, уже снята неопределенность по НДС на импорт медикаментов, а предельные цены на лекарства теперь устанавливаются без учета налога. Особое внимание уделено социальной справедливости: для лиц с инвалидностью внедряется принцип «поглощения», закрепляющий максимальный налоговый вычет вне зависимости от смены группы в течение года. Кроме того, экспортеры энергетиков будут освобождены от акцизов, а доходы от НДПИ на общераспространенные ископаемые теперь будут направляться напрямую в региональные бюджеты по месту добычи.Отдельно Азамат Амрин остановился на итогах переходного периода, который официально завершился 1 марта 2026 года. Он подчеркнул, что режим упрощенной декларации выбрали более 1,2 млн налогоплательщиков, включая как действующих бизнесменов, так и значительное число новых налогоплательщиков.  Высокую активность показал и режим для самозанятых. В то же время значительная часть бизнеса продолжает работу в рамках общеустановленного порядка, который пополнился в том числе за счет добровольных переходов и автоматического перевода тех, кто не определился с выбором.Завершая встречу, Азамат Амрин подчеркнул, что все вопросы бизнеса, возникающие в рамках реализации норм нового Налогового кодекса, выносятся на рассмотрение Проектного офиса и обсуждаются совместно с НПП «Атамекен», предпринимателями и налоговыми консультантами.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/economy/press/news/details/1190950?lang=kk
