Attention! The Department of State Revenue for the Mangystau region warns of new fraud schemes.

The attackers, posing as employees of the state revenue authorities, call and report the alleged absence of tax reporting (form 270) and, as a result, threaten with "fines" or "closure of bank accounts" for failure to report.

Other fraudulent schemes include sending messages via messengers (including WhatsApp) on behalf of the management of the State Revenue Committee or its structural divisions with information on the inclusion of business entities in the lists of financial monitoring, inspections or other forms of control.

These reports are a manifestation of fraudulent actions aimed at misleading taxpayers, destabilizing their work and, in some cases, extortion.

Please note that the state revenue authorities provide official information to taxpayers exclusively through the following channels:

- Taxpayer's account on the portals eGov.kz and/or kgd.gov .kz;

- Official letters via the electronic document management system;

- Official accounts on social networks and messengers, designated as verified;

- Press releases and notifications on the official EPIR GO Internet resource gov.kz ;

- The contact center's 1414 hotline.

Messages coming from unknown numbers, threatening inspections, inclusion in financial monitoring lists, as well as requests to contact "representatives of the Committee", resolve the issue of not submitting a declaration, or provide "assistance" to avoid the seizure of bank accounts should be regarded as an attempt at fraud.

Important! Mailing from the information systems of state revenue bodies to taxpayers by e-mail, WhatsApp and Telegram is not carried out, employees of state revenue bodies do not request codes, EDS and personal data.

The Department of State Revenue for the Mangystau region urges citizens to be vigilant, not to trust unreliable mailings, not to follow questionable links, not to transfer funds, check the authenticity of received messages and not to succumb to provocations and tricks of scammers.

Use only official sources to obtain information about your tax and financial activities.
