The Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Kazakhstan, in collaboration with professional accounting organizations, has concluded the results of the national "People's Accountant" campaign, which ran from January 5 to June 30, 2026.

        The campaign's primary objective was to provide practical support to entrepreneurs, improve the quality of accounting and tax record-keeping, and assist taxpayers in understanding the changes to tax legislation that came into effect in 2026.

       As part of the initiative, free in-person consultations for citizens were organized at the State Revenue Departments in regional centers, as well as in the cities of Astana, Almaty, and Shymkent. Consultations were provided by accountants working alongside specialists from state revenue authorities. In total, more than 120 accredited professional accountants participated in the event.

      Over the course of six months, the initiative has become a sought-after platform for open dialogue among the government, the professional accounting community, and the business sector.

     Campaign results:

     1. over 60 000 taxpayers received free consultations;
     2. 3 247 open house events were held;
     3. 2 928 seminars were organized at the local level;
     4. 512 interviews and expert commentaries were prepared;
     5. over 10 000 items were published across media outlets, television, radio, and social networks;
     6. 616 video testimonials from campaign participants were recorded, including 182 from the business community, bloggers, and opinion leaders;
    7. promotional spots for the campaign aired over 45 000 times on radio stations;
    8. with informational support from Zakon.kz, campaign materials—including four webinars—garnered over 2 500 000 views.

      Experience has shown that there is significant demand among entrepreneurs for a live interaction format. Participants received expert clarifications on the application of the new Tax Code, the selection of an optimal tax regime, transition period specifics, tax benefits and deductions, VAT registration and deregistration, the use of special tax regimes, the issuance of electronic invoices, the use of information systems, and matters regarding the registration and activities of self-employed individuals.

    A particularly valuable aspect of the initiative was that entrepreneurs could receive individual consultations directly from practicing professional accountants and state revenue officials, enabling them to promptly find solutions for specific situations and prevent potential errors in meeting their tax obligations.

      The "People's Accountant" initiative has become an effective example of collaboration between the state and the professional community, aimed at improving tax literacy, fostering a culture of voluntary tax compliance, and creating a favorable business environment. Free professional assistance has enabled thousands of entrepreneurs to adapt more confidently to legislative changes and receive timely answers to their most pressing questions.

     This initiative does not end here; regional state revenue authorities, in collaboration with accounting organizations, will hold monthly "Open House" events to explain tax legislation.
