A set of measures to reduce corruption risks is being implemented in the state revenue authorities of Kazakhstan:

1. Digitalization and electronic services

 Transfer of services and tax reporting into electronic format allows minimizing physical contacts between employees and citizens, reducing opportunities for giving/bribes.

2. Internal analysis and risk identification

 A corruption risk assessment system for employees has been introduced, operating through a special information system administered by the State Revenue Committee.

3. Strengthening the declaration system

 Income and asset declarations have been introduced since 2015, and in 2018-2019, the rules for their submission have been updated, with clear regulations and control.

4. Staff training and ethics

 Thematic legal and ethical trainings are regularly held for employees of public authorities, including the tax service, to raise legal awareness.

5. Zero tolerance and reduction of corruption offenses

 Already in September 2023, it was known that the number of corruption offenses was halved due to the measures taken.
