Corruption is a systemic threat not only to the economic security of the State, but also undermines public confidence in government institutions. In the Republic of Kazakhstan, the fight against this phenomenon is one of the key priorities of state policy, enshrined in fundamental legislative acts. The State Revenue authorities (OGD), being at the forefront of ensuring tax discipline and administration of customs payments, bear a special responsibility for maintaining impeccable integrity.

The fight against corruption in the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Kazakhstan is carried out in strict accordance with the Law of the Republic of Kazakhstan "On Combating Corruption". This law establishes the legal and organizational framework for combating corruption, defines the tasks of government agencies and officials, and provides for a set of measures aimed at preventing, detecting, suppressing, and eliminating its consequences. The principle of zero tolerance for any form of corruption is implemented in the public revenue system. This means not only the inevitability of punishment for committed offenses, but also the proactive elimination of the prerequisites for their occurrence, which is the basis of anti-corruption policy.

The most effective tool for minimizing corruption risks is the maximum digitalization of public services. The introduction of automated systems used, for example, for issuing electronic invoices or customs declarations minimizes personal interaction between taxpayers and inspectors, eliminating the "human factor" and the potential for extortion. Transparency of processes is guaranteed by the ability of citizens and businesses to track the status of their appeals through electronic portals, which significantly increases the accountability of OGD employees. In addition, systematic anti-corruption monitoring of risks in regulatory legal acts and administrative procedures is carried out, followed by the development of measures to eliminate them promptly.
