The State Revenue Committee of the Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Kazakhstan draws the attention of business entities to the mandatory use of cash registers (CCM) for all types of monetary settlements, including cash payments, bank card payments, as well as mobile payments via QR codes.

In accordance with the Tax Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan, all monetary settlements in the territory of the country must be made with the use of cash registers, the models of which are included in the State Register. Monetary settlements include transactions made in cash, by payment cards (through POS terminals), as well as mobile payments, including QR payments. Exceptions to this rule are provided for certain categories of payers, such as individuals, private bailiffs, lawyers, mediators and banks, as stated in the Tax Code.

Recently, however, cases have become more frequent when entrepreneurs, when paying for goods or services with bank cards or via mobile applications, issue only POS terminal receipts to customers without using a cash register. Such behavior is a violation of tax legislation and may entail administrative responsibility in accordance with the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Republic of Kazakhstan.

It should be noted that there are solutions on the market that integrate the functions of cash registers and POS-terminals. For example, Kaspi Pay POS-terminals, which can be integrated with Kaspi Kassa cash registers, allow entrepreneurs to simultaneously perform the functions of payment acceptance and fiscalization of transactions, ensuring compliance with legal requirements.

To check the availability of registered KKMs and get information on the models included in the State Register, entrepreneurs can use the following resources:

The list of KKMs, including those integrated with banks' POS-terminals is available on the official website of the Committee at the following link:

The State Revenue Committee urges entrepreneurs to strictly comply with the requirements of the tax legislation and use only those KKM that are included in the State Register. This not only ensures the legality of doing business, but also contributes to increasing the transparency of financial transactions and building consumer confidence.
