The solution has been certified for information security and put into commercial operation, providing a reliable basis for analytics and management.Currently, a digital taxpayer profile is being formed, including information about property, business, taxes, participation in public procurement, support measures and personnel indicators. For tax purposes, dossiers have been created for 1.9 million individual entrepreneurs, 584 thousand legal entities and 20.4 million individuals. Based on the collected data, automated calculation of taxes and control over the timeliness of their payment are carried out. Budget revenue models are predicted, and the tax potential of industries and regions is determined.The staff of the Center for Electronic Finance has also developed a digital map of state finances, which reflects the flow of cash online. It is complemented by a National Product Catalog covering more than 15 million items. From January 2026, its use will become mandatory, which will provide a single reference book for accounting, statistics, public procurement and customs, reduce shadow turnover and create fair competition conditions.The Ministry is already implementing new tax and customs administration tools. The e-Tamga system is aimed at preventing the issuance of fictitious invoices and identifying "one-day" firms. The integrated tax administration system has combined seven outdated solutions into a single platform, providing full tax support to entrepreneurs. The Keden system automates customs processes, introduces remote interaction between participants in foreign economic activity and uses elements of artificial intelligence.A single entrepreneur's personal account has been created for businesses – a portal and a mobile application that combines all the services of the Ministry of Finance in a user-friendly interface. Within the framework of budget planning, unique identifiers of projects and expenses have been introduced, according to forecasts, this innovation will save budget funds. A digital profile of the government agency has been launched with online reflection of receipts, expenses and financial discipline. Online budget monitoring and cloud accounting systems identified risky transactions and ensured a return to the budget of about 800 million tenge this year.All these projects demonstrate the systematic course of the Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Kazakhstan to digitalize public finances, increase transparency and trust of citizens.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/minfin/press/news/details/1070844?lang=kk

In this regard, separate collection, sorting, disposal and recycling of waste is being introduced in the field of municipal waste management.Thus, separate waste collection (plastic, glass, paper, bulky, mercury-containing waste, waste from electronic and electrical equipment) has been introduced in 61 settlements, where more than 2,100 special containers have been installed.Waste sorting is carried out in 29 settlements. The sorting process is carried out by manual sorting and on 7 waste sorting lines. In the region, 14 private companies process recyclables and produce 17 types of finished products (geogrid, geotextile, geocomposite, geocapes, polyethylene gas and water pipes, cable pipe, polymer-sanded paving stones, manholes, rubber chips, egg trays, cinder blocks, pyrolysis fuel, PVC panels, inert material, plastic boxes, gas tanks made of plastic).If a few years ago the volume of waste recycling was insignificant, today there is significant progress: the share of solid household waste recycling increased from 1.8% in 2017 to 21.1% in 2024. Thus, the indicator has increased almost 12 times, which is a significant step towards ensuring the environmental safety of the region.At the same time, in order to develop the sphere of municipal waste management by private enterprises, 3 projects totaling 0.5 billion tenge were implemented in 2024-2025 through preferential loans from Damu Entrepreneurship Development Fund JSC and Industry Development Fund JSC.

The new Tax Code will affect all sectors of the economy, from agriculture and tourism to industry and services. Therefore, the Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Kazakhstan conducts explanatory work throughout the country. Seminars and meetings are organized for entrepreneurs and residents, where experts talk about the new rules and answer questions from entrepreneurs.So, in Konayev, in the assembly hall of the Department of State Revenue for the Almaty region, a seminar for taxpayers of the region was held with the participation of Deputy Chairman of the State Revenue Committee of the Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Kazakhstan Zhanybek Nurzhanov.The city of Konaev is a young regional town near the shores of the Kapshagai reservoir, which is gradually strengthening its position in the field of domestic tourism in the region. Therefore, special attention was paid at the meeting to taxation issues in the tourism industry.The new Tax Code provides for simplified tax regimes and reduced rates for entrepreneurs working in this field. Now there will be three of them. The first one is for self-employed citizens who will be able to pay a single payment, including income tax and mandatory pension contributions. The second mode is based on a simplified declaration and is suitable for small and medium-sized businesses: the tax will be only 3% of income. The third mode is intended for peasant (farm) farms with preferential rates, allowing farmers to invest more in the development of production."In addition, the new code is aimed at reducing the shadow economy and increasing transparency of financial flows. For the tourism business, this means not only fair competition, but also access to state support measures, including within the framework of state regional development programs. All this should stimulate the emergence of new recreation areas, improve the quality of services and increase the attractiveness of Kazakhstan in the international tourism market," said Zhanybek Nurzhanov.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/minfin/press/news/details/1070835?lang=kk

This demonstrates the international community's commitment to the Aral Sea issue.

On September 17, 2025, in the city of Taldykorgan, in preparation for the entry into force of the new Tax Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan, an on-site explanatory seminar for entrepreneurs and residents of the Zhetisu region was held with the participation of Deputy Chairman of the State Revenue Committee Nurzhanov Zhanybek and representatives of the National Chamber of Entrepreneurs Atameken.The new code, signed by President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev on July 18, 2025, is aimed at radically transforming the tax system, introducing transparency principles and adapting to modern economic realities. As the Head of State noted, the key goal of the reform is not only to change the norms, but also to form a new mentality of taxpayers.The new Tax Code will become an important tool for the development of the economy of Zhetisu, where the main focus is on agriculture, tourism and entrepreneurship. Its main goals are to reduce the shadow economy, simplify work with tax authorities and increase the efficiency of tax administration.Major changes:Differentiation of the tax burden. Socially significant industries such as medicine and education will pay a reduced corporate tax of 5% in 2026. A progressive scale of individual income tax is being introduced, which is aimed at a fair distribution of the tax burden, 10% for incomes up to 8,500 MCI (about 33.5 million tenge) and 15% for higher incomes.Simplification of tax regimes. There are three main modes left. Reducing the number of special tax regimes to three will simplify the system for local entrepreneurs. Regimes for the self-employed, based on a simplified declaration, and for peasant (farm) farms (KFH) will become the basis for doing business, especially in the agricultural sector, which is dominant in the economy of Zhetisu.Fight against business fragmentation. The VAT rate is increased to 16%, and the registration threshold is lowered. This will help bring large enterprises out of the shadows and create fair competition.The luxury tax. Excise taxes are introduced on expensive cars, yachts, airplanes and real estate with a total value of over 450 million tenge, which will affect the most affluent citizens and direct additional funds to the budget for the implementation of socially significant programs in the regions.The next seminar in the framework of a series of clarifications of the norms of the tax code will be held on September 18, 2025 in the city of Konayev.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/minfin/press/news/details/1069963?lang=kk
