A press conference dedicated to the new Tax Code, which will enter into force on January 1, 2026, was held at the site of the Regional Communications Service of the East Kazakhstan Region.

Sairankan Kabysh, Deputy Head of the State Revenue Department of East Kazakhstan Region, noted that the new Code introduces large-scale changes to the taxation system, including new rules for tax payment and measures for debt collection.

Gulmira Sabralimova, head of the Office of Advocacy and Contact Center, spoke about the introduction of a progressive scale of individual income tax. Income up to 8,500 MCI (33.4 million tenge per year) will be taxed at a rate of 10%, while income exceeding this amount will be taxed at a rate of 15%. She stressed that this measure would increase tax fairness and reduce the burden on low-income citizens. In addition, the standard deduction has been increased from 14 to 30 MCI, and the deduction for disabled persons of groups I–II has been increased to 5,000 MCI.

Azamat Zhakiyanov, Head of the Debt Management Department, focused on debt collection measures. According to him, property can be seized if the debt exceeds 45 MCI, and a restriction on travel abroad can be imposed for a debt over 27,000 MCI. At the same time, for businesses facing temporary difficulties, the possibility of deferral and installments is provided without the need for collateral.

The launch of an Integrated Tax Administration System was announced. The system will combine seven existing IT platforms and is designed to simplify taxpayers' interaction with the government.
