The Department of State Revenues for Mangystau Region reminds taxpayers of the opportunity to reduce their tax burden through tax deductions on individual income tax (IIT) in accordance with the norms of the new Tax Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan, which entered into force on January 1, 2026.

Tax deductions allow individuals to reduce their taxable income, thereby lowering the amount of IIT payable or increasing the refund amount when filing a tax declaration.

The main types of tax deductions available in 2026 are:

• Standard deduction — increased and applies to all taxpayers.
• Social deductions — for education, medical treatment, voluntary medical insurance, pension contributions, and voluntary pension contributions.
• Deductions for children and dependents.
• Property deductions — for the purchase of housing, mortgage payments, and the sale of property.
• Professional deductions — for persons engaged in private practice and individual entrepreneurs.

Key changes in 2026:

• The list of tax deductions has been revised and expanded.
• The amount of the standard deduction has been increased.
• A progressive scale for IIT has been introduced: 10% on income up to a certain threshold (approximately up to 33.4 million tenge per year), and 15% on income exceeding the threshold. Deductions are especially beneficial when the base rate is applied.

The Department recommends:

• Timely collection of supporting documents (receipts, contracts, certificates of payment for education/treatment, etc.).
• Filing an individual income tax return (Form 240.00) to obtain a refund of excess tax withheld.
• Checking eligibility for deductions in your taxpayer’s personal account on the kgd.gov.kz portal or through the eGov Mobile application.

Timely application of deductions allows for significant savings and the return of part of the taxes paid.

The Department of State Revenues for Mangystau Region urges all taxpayers to actively use the benefits provided by law and to treat their tax obligations responsibly.

For detailed explanations and consultations on calculating deductions, please contact the territorial tax authorities at your place of residence.
