At the same time, experience shows that not all entrepreneurs, who have incomes, fulfill their obligations in good faith, make late or incomplete payments, or do not make social payments at all.

We inform you that the Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan "On Administrative Offences" provides for administrative liability:

- For violation of the legislation of the Republic of Kazakhstan in pension provision (Part 7 of Article 91 of the CoAO RK);  

- For violation of the legislation of the Republic of Kazakhstan in compulsory social insurance (Subparagraph 2 of part 2 of Article 92 CoAO RK);

The State Revenue Department of East Kazakhstan Region urges taxpayers to faithfully fulfill their tax obligations and pay social security payments in a timely and complete manner. We stress that the payment of social payments is fundamentally about providing social guarantees for employees, ensuring their access to pension, medical, and social protection.
