The Chamber of Entrepreneurs of the East Kazakhstan Region continues its information and outreach project “Business and Taxes”, implemented jointly with the State Revenue Department. The latest live broadcast was dedicated to a relevant topic — the vehicle tax, taking into account changes introduced in the new Tax Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan.

Experts explained how to pay the tax for 2025 in 2026, as well as what innovations have already come into force and will affect future calculations.

One of the key changes is the introduction of reduction coefficients for passenger vehicles depending on their service life. According to Albina Kenzhegalieva, Chief Specialist of the Non-Production Payments Department of the State Revenue Department for East Kazakhstan Region, a coefficient of 0.7 is applied to vehicles aged between 10 and 20 years, and 0.5 for vehicles older than 20 years. It is important to note that the tax is paid at the end of the year. Accordingly, the actual application of these reduction coefficients will be reflected in the calculation of the tax for 2026, which will be payable in 2027.

Special attention was also given to support measures for agricultural producers. In particular, peasant and farming enterprises, in addition to previously existing benefits, are now exempt from paying tax on one vehicle — a passenger vehicle with a cargo platform and a driver’s cabin separated from the cargo compartment by a rigid fixed partition (pickup).

Speakers emphasized that despite a number of relief measures, the obligation to pay taxes on time remains. Failure to meet deadlines results in penalties and possible restrictions.

During the live broadcast, entrepreneurs and residents of the region received answers to practical questions, including tax calculation procedures, application of benefits, and the use of online services to check tax assessments.

“The ‘Business and Taxes’ project is an important platform for open dialogue between government bodies and entrepreneurs. We see that taxation issues, especially in terms of legislative changes, remain among the most in-demand. It is particularly important that today we are talking not only about new rules but also about real opportunities to reduce the tax burden for certain categories of taxpayers,” noted Aizhan Zhangirkhanova, Deputy Director for Legal Affairs of the Chamber of

Entrepreneurs of the East Kazakhstan Region.

The organizers note that the main goal of the initiative is to improve tax literacy and foster a culture of responsible tax compliance among entrepreneurs in the region.
