Who manages pension assets?  The investment of pension assets is managed by the National Bank of the Republic of Kazakhstan (NBRK) and, since 2021, by licensed investment portfolio managers (IPMs) that meet the requirements of the authorized body. The primary objective of this fiduciary management of pension savings is to invest in various financial instruments and generate income. Pension asset managers—both the NBRK and IPMs—maintain their own investment strategies and independently determine the structure of their investment portfolios within the framework of their investment declarations.The current IPM registry includes six private companies to which Kazakhstanis can entrust the management of their pension savings: Alatau City Invest JSC, BCC Invest JSC, Centras Securities JSC, Halyk Finance JSC, Halyk Global Markets JSC, and Tansar Capital JSC. (Note: Halyk Global Markets JSC has notified the Unified Accumulative Pension Fund [UAPF] of the termination of its fiduciary management agreement effective 2027; consequently, as of January 1, 2026, the Fund is no longer accepting applications to transfer pension savings to this company.)Information regarding IPMs and their investment declarations can be found on the website www.enpf.kz under the "Services" section—specifically the "Registry of Investment Portfolio Managers"—as well as on the online platform invest.enpf.kz. Legislative amendments provide for the possibility of transferring up to 100% of pension savings—accumulated through compulsory pension contributions and compulsory occupational pension contributions—to an investment portfolio manager (IPM) for management. Who is eligible for this, and how does the mechanism work? All UAPF contributors will have the option to transfer up to 100% of their accumulated savings to private investment portfolio managers (IPMs) for management. These provisions came into effect on September 7, 2026.Information regarding IPMs and their investment declarations is available on the website www.enpf.kz under the "Services" – "Register of Investment Portfolio Managers" section, as well as via the online platform invest.enpf.kz.In the near future, a single IPM will be able to offer contributors up to three types of investment portfolios (conservative, moderate, and aggressive), differing in terms of risk level, expected return, and investment horizon.The procedure for structuring investment portfolios of pension assets will be determined by the authorized body responsible for the regulation, control, and supervision of the financial market and financial organizations. Is it possible to distribute savings among several management companies? Contributors may select one or more Investment Portfolio Managers (IPMs). To enhance public awareness, the UAPF has launched a unified online information platform: invest.enpf.kz. This modern digital resource enables contributors to compare data on pension asset portfolios managed by various entities—specifically the National Bank of the Republic of Kazakhstan (NBRK) and IPMs—all in one place. Contributors gain access to tools for independently evaluating investment portfolios and selecting a manager and investment strategy tailored to their specific goals and expectations. Furthermore, the invest.enpf.kz platform allows contributors not only to review IPM investment declarations and analyze financial performance but also to access information regarding any administrative measures, sanctions, or enforcement actions taken against an IPM by the regulator (the ARDFM). How the transfer of savings from the UAPF to an asset management company takes place? To transfer pension savings to trust management, an account holder must select an Investment Portfolio Manager (IPM) and then submit an application using the prescribed form. This can be done via the personal account area on the enpf.kz website or the invest.enpf.kz online platform using an electronic digital signature, or at any UAPF branch.Within the personal account area, the account holder can, among other things:check the amount available for transfer to, or return from, an IPM or the National Bank of the Republic of Kazakhstan (NBRK);review the terms and conditions for submitting an application to select (or change) an IPM or to return pension savings currently under IPM management to NBRK management;submit an application to select (or change) an IPM or to return funds to the NBRK, and track the application's status;access other available pension services.The status of an application to transfer pension savings to trust management can be tracked in the personal account area on the website or via the UAPF mobile app.The processes for submitting applications for transfer to an IPM and their subsequent processing by the UAPF are fully automated. The UAPF transfers pension assets to IPM trust management within the timeframes established by regulatory legal acts. However, transferring pension savings from one IPM to another, or returning them to NBRK management, is permitted only after at least one year has elapsed since the initial transfer.           Where can contributors find complete information on pension asset management and track the performance of management companies?  The UAPF serves as the central record-keeping and information hub for all contributors and acts as the operator of their individual pension savings accounts, regardless of which entity manages the assets (the National Bank of the Republic of Kazakhstan and/or an Investment Portfolio Manager (IPM) selected by the contributor).The UAPF provides accessible services related to pension asset management, offering 24/7 access to statements that fully reflect citizens' accumulated savings and earned investment income via the personal account section of the enpf.kz website or the UAPF mobile app.Information regarding the investment activities of each manager is continuously updated on the enpf.kz website under the "Statistics and Analytics" section—specifically, "Investment Management of Pension Assets."Additionally, a dedicated online platform (invest.enpf.kz) operates for UAPF contributors; this modern digital resource enables users to compare the asset management performance of all managers (the National Bank of the Republic of Kazakhstan and IPMs). Invest.enpf.kz provides access to return-on-investment data, allows for the comparison of asset managers and their portfolios over selected timeframes, and facilitates informed investment decision-making.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/vko-altai/press/news/details/1296571?lang=ru

     If a taxpayer disagrees with the results of a tax audit, the taxpayer has the right to protect their rights and legitimate interests and to appeal the audit results in accordance with the procedure established by law.     In accordance with Article 191 of the Tax Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan, appeals against a notification on the results of a tax audit, as well as against actions (inaction) of officials of the state revenue authorities, are carried out in accordance with the procedure established by the Administrative Procedural and Process-Related Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan and the Tax Code. The procedure for submitting and considering a complaint against a notification on the results of a tax audit is regulated by Articles 192–198 of the Tax Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan.Deadline for Filing a Complaint     A taxpayer (tax agent) may submit a complaint against a notification on the results of a tax audit to the authorized body within 30 working days following the date on which the notification on the results of the tax audit was served. A copy of the complaint must also be submitted to the state revenue authority that conducted the tax audit and considered the taxpayer's objections to the preliminary tax audit report.     If the deadline for filing a complaint has been missed for a valid reason, it may be restored by the authorized body upon the taxpayer's (tax agent's) request. In particular, temporary incapacity for work of the individual subject to the tax audit, as well as of the taxpayer's head and/or chief accountant, may be recognized as a valid reason. In such cases, the request must be accompanied by documents confirming the period of temporary incapacity for work, as well as a document establishing the organizational structure of the taxpayer.     The complaint and the request to restore the missed deadline must be submitted no later than 10 working days from the date on which the period of temporary incapacity for work ends.Does Filing a Complaint Suspend the Notification?     Filing a complaint with the authorized body or filing a statement of claim with the court suspends the enforcement of the notification on the results of the tax audit in the part being appealed. If the taxpayer files a complaint with the authorized body, enforcement of the notification in the appealed part is suspended until a decision is made on the complaint.     If a statement of claim is filed with the court, enforcement of the notification in the appealed part is suspended from the date the court accepts the administrative case for proceedings until the court act enters into legal force. Therefore, it is important to clearly specify in the complaint which part of the notification on the results of the tax audit is being appealed.In What Form Is the Complaint Submitted?     A taxpayer's complaint may be submitted in paper and/or electronic form. The complaint must contain:the name of the authorized body to which the complaint is submitted;the taxpayer's surname, first name and patronymic, or full legal name, and location;identification number;the name of the state revenue authority that conducted the tax audit;the circumstances on which the taxpayer bases their claims;evidence confirming these circumstances;the taxpayer's (tax agent's) signature and the date of submission of the complaint;a list of the attached documents.     The complaint may also contain other information relevant to the resolution of the dispute. The complaint must be signed by the taxpayer or their authorized representative.What Documents Should Be Attached to the Complaint?     The complaint must be accompanied by documents confirming the circumstances on which the taxpayer bases their claims. If the complaint is submitted by a taxpayer's representative, a power of attorney confirming the representative's authority must be attached. Other documents relevant to the dispute may also be attached. Therefore, when preparing a complaint, it is important to provide specific arguments and supporting documents for each disputed issue identified during the tax audit.Can a Complaint Be Withdrawn?     Yes. Withdrawal of a complaint by a taxpayer does not deprive the taxpayer of the right to submit a complaint again, provided that the statutory deadlines are observed. Therefore, when deciding to withdraw a complaint, the taxpayer should take into account the deadlines established by law for submitting a new complaint.What Should Be Taken into Account in Practice?     For a taxpayer who disagrees with the results of a tax audit, it is particularly important to comply with the deadline for filing a complaint and to properly substantiate their position with evidence. Simply stating disagreement with the audit results is not sufficient. The taxpayer should clearly indicate which specific conclusion of the tax authority is being disputed, the grounds on which the conclusion is considered unfounded, and which documents and evidence support the taxpayer's position.     Before filing a complaint, it is also advisable to carefully review the notification on the results of the tax audit, the tax audit report, the objections to the preliminary tax audit report, and the relevant decisions of the state revenue authority. When tax disputes are considered, compliance with the procedures and deadlines established by law is of particular importance. Therefore, taxpayers should be familiar with the appeal procedure and take into account the requirements of the applicable legislation when protecting their rights and legitimate interests.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/kgd-atyrau/press/news/details/1296365?lang=ru

      Since 1 January 2026, the Republic of Kazakhstan has applied a procedure for refunding income tax withheld at the source of payment, established by Order No. 694 of the Minister of Finance of the Republic of Kazakhstan dated 12 November 2025, “On Certain Issues Related to Income Tax Withheld at the Source of Payment in the Republic of Kazakhstan.”Tax Refund Based on an International Treaty      One of the cases provided for is the refund of income tax previously withheld based on an international treaty of the Republic of Kazakhstan on the avoidance of double taxation. The right to apply the provisions of an international treaty is determined taking into account the specific type of income, the status of the income recipient, and the terms of the relevant international treaty. When considering an application submitted by a non-resident, the state revenue authority determines whether the legal grounds provided for by legislation for the tax refund are present.      Confirmation of the non-resident’s tax residency is of particular importance. For this purpose, a document confirming the person’s residency in the relevant foreign state, prepared in accordance with the established requirements, must be submitted. When considering an application for a tax refund, the submitted documents and information are reviewed. In particular, the following are determined:the country of residence of the income recipient;the type and amount of income received from sources in the Republic of Kazakhstan;the existence of grounds for applying the relevant article of the international treaty;the fact that the income was paid to the non-resident;the amount of income tax withheld at the source of payment;the fact that the withheld tax was transferred to the budget;the amount claimed for refund;compliance of the submitted documents and information with tax accounting data and the information available to the state revenue authorities.      Where necessary, contracts, acts of completed works or services rendered, payment documents, and other documents that make it possible to determine the actual nature of the income and the circumstances of its receipt are also analyzed. Particular attention is paid to the correct classification of income. Depending on its nature, an international treaty may establish different taxation rules for dividends, interest, royalties, income from the provision of services, and other types of income.Submission of an Application and Decision-Making      To obtain a tax refund based on an international treaty, a tax application must be submitted using the form approved by Order No. 694. Following consideration of the application, a decision is made either to refund the income tax or to refuse the refund. Where the grounds provided for by legislation are present, the tax amount is refunded in accordance with the procedure established by the Rules for the Provision of the State Service “Refund of Income Tax Withheld at the Source of Payment.”      Therefore, previously withheld corporate income tax is not refunded automatically. It is necessary to confirm the existence of legal grounds for applying the international treaty and the compliance of the submitted documents with the established requirements. When making payments in favor of non-residents, tax agents are advised to verify in advance the grounds for applying the relevant international treaty, the availability of a document confirming tax residency, as well as the correct determination of the type of income and the applicable taxation procedure.      If tax is withheld when income is paid to a non-resident, the possibility of subsequently refunding such tax is determined in accordance with the legislation of the Republic of Kazakhstan and the provisions of the relevant international treaty.Taxpayers and non-residents are reminded of the need to submit a complete and accurate set of documents, as this is essential for an objective review of the application and the adoption of the appropriate decision.      Order No. 694 also provides for the forms of documents used in the provision of the state service, including the application for a refund of income tax, decisions on refund or refusal to refund, as well as documents confirming the amounts of income and taxes withheld (paid).Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/kgd-atyrau/press/news/details/1296334?lang=ru

Благодаря дальнейшему инвестированию ежегодно сумма целевых требований каждого ребенка дополнительно прирастает за счет полученного инвестиционного дохода.В результате совокупная сумма всех накопленных целевых требований (включая ежегодно дополнительно начисляемый инвестиционный доход) у ребенка, который участвует в программе:- три года, составил 370 долларов 56 центов;- два года, составил 263 доллара 93 цента;- один год, составил 130 долларов 71 цент. Информацию об участии в программе ребенка, не достигшего 18 лет, его родители и иные законные представители могут проверить по ИИН ребенка на сайте kids.enpf.kz, в личном кабинете на портале электронного правительства eGov.kz, а также в мобильных приложениях eGov Mobile и некоторых банков второго уровня. В случае, если информация о целевых требованиях, начисленных детям за 2025 отчетный год, не отображается, то необходимо обновить документы в мобильных приложениях, следуя по пути:в приложении eGov Mobile: «Цифровые документы» - «Семья» - «Обновить список документов» - «Начисления из НАЦФОНДА»;в мобильных приложениях банков второго уровня, например, в Kaspi.kz: «Госуслуги» - «Все документы» - «Обновить список документов» - «Начисления из НАЦФОНДА». Отсутствие в личном кабинете законного представителя сведений о начислении целевых требований детям, достигшим либо достигающим 18-летнего возраста в текущем году, обусловлено тем, что целевые требования обрели статус ЦН и в связи с этим доступ к информации о них предоставляется непосредственно получателю ЦН (гражданину, достигшему или достигающему 18-летнего возраста в 2026 году). Указанные лица должны самостоятельно получать информацию о своих ЦН посредством их личного кабинета на интернет-ресурсах ЕНПФ либо электронного правительства, чтобы затем при достижении 18-летнего возраста обратиться к уполномоченному оператору для открытия банковского счета в долларах США и подачи онлайн-заявления на выплату ЦН для улучшения жилищных условий и (или) оплаты образования.На сегодняшний день уполномоченными операторами являются:АО «Отбасы банк» (по жилью и образованию),АО «Народный банк» (по образованию),АО «Банк ЦентрКредит» (по образованию). Со статистикой по несовершеннолетним детям - участникам целевых требований и совершеннолетним получателям ЦН, а также по использованию ЦН на жилье и (или) образование можно ознакомиться на сайте enpf.kz. Изучить условия программы, получить инструкции, ответы на интересующие вопросы можно на сайте kids.enpf.kz.

Between February 1, 2024, and September 1, 2026, a total of 365,553 citizens received targeted savings (TS) payouts under the National Fund for Children program, amounting to approximately US$76.11 million.From the beginning of 2026 through September 1, 170,156 citizens received TS payouts totaling US$44.84 million. Of this number, 119,279 Kazakhstanis received over US$31.00 million for housing improvements, while 50,877 received US$13.83 million for education expenses.The funds were transferred to authorized operators for subsequent crediting to the applicants' bank accounts. Recipients have the right to use either the full amount or a portion of it. Any unclaimed funds remain in the targeted savings account (TSA) for 10 years. After this period, the unused balance is transferred to the beneficiary's individual pension savings account, where it is recorded as voluntary pension contributions.The most popular option for improving housing conditions was topping up housing construction savings accounts for further accumulation: payments totaling US$30.51 million were made to 117,712 recipients. Additionally, US$183.65 thousand was paid to 788 young Kazakhstanis for down payments on mortgage loans to purchase homes, while US$102.17 thousand was paid to 437 Kazakhstanis for the outright purchase of housing via civil-law transactions (final settlement).Regarding the use of targeted savings for education, the largest share of funds was allocated to pay for educational services provided by institutions within the Republic of Kazakhstan—either in installments (per academic period or school year) or as a single lump-sum payment (covering the entire course of study); 47,584 citizens received a total of US$12.96 million under this category.The following services were also in demand: topping up educational savings accounts under the relevant agreements—funds totaling US$587.56 thousand were transferred to 2,309 recipients; additionally, US$220.44 thousand was disbursed to 861 citizens to cover educational services provided by foreign educational institutions, either in installments (per academic period or academic year) or as a lump-sum payment (for the entire duration of study). It should be noted that the accrual of targeted requirements ceases upon the death of a participant or the entry into legal force of a court decision declaring them deceased. To claim targeted entitlements /TS following the death of a participant or recipient, heirs may apply to the Unified Accumulative Pension Fund (UAPF) in accordance with the procedure established by the Government of the Republic of Kazakhstan.As of September 1, 2026, payments totaling 74.46 thousand US dollars have been made to heirs, with 226 citizens receiving the funds.Detailed information on TS payouts for housing improvement and/or education expenses, broken down by authorized operators and regions, is available on the enpf.kz website.It is worth noting that, based on the results for 2025, a payment of $130.71 per child was credited to Kazakhstani children; for 2024, the amount was $129.38; and for 2023, it was $100.52.Funds from the National Fund are credited annually to children under the age of 18 in the form of targeted allocations. Under the law, the amounts credited to young Kazakhstanis remain part of the National Fund’s assets and continue to be invested. Thanks to this ongoing investment, the value of each child's targeted requirements grows annually through the generated investment income.As a result, the total accumulated value of all targeted requirements (including the investment income added each year) for a child participating in the program:- - three years, amounted to 370 dollars 56 cents;- two years, amounted to 263 dollars 93 cents;- one year, amounted to 130 dollars 71 cents.Parents and other legal representatives can verify a child's participation in the program using the child's IIN (Individual Identification Number) via the kids.enpf.kz website, the personal account section of the eGov.kz e-government portal, as well as the eGov Mobile app and the mobile apps of certain second-tier banks.If information regarding the targeted allocations accrued to children for the 2025 reporting year is not displayed, it is necessary to update the documents within the mobile apps by following this path:in the eGov Mobile app: "Digital Documents" – "Family" – "Refresh document list" – "National Fund accruals";in mobile apps of second-tier banks, for example, Kaspi.kz: "Government Services" – "All documents" – "Refresh document list" – "National Fund accruals".The absence of information regarding the accrual of targeted requirements for children who have reached or will reach the age of 18 this year in the legal representative's personal account is due to the fact that these entitlements have acquired "TS" status; consequently, access to information about them is granted directly to the TS recipient (the individual who has reached or will reach the age of 18 in 2026). These individuals must independently access information about their TS via their personal accounts on the UAPF or e-government websites so that, upon turning 18, they can contact an authorized operator to open a US dollar bank account and submit an online application for the TS payout to improve housing conditions and/or pay for education. Currently, the authorized operators are:Otbasy Bank JSC (for housing and education),Halyk Bank of Kazakhstan JSC (for education),Bank CenterCredit JSC (for education). Statistics regarding minors participating in the targeted entitlements program, adult TS recipients, and the use of TS funds for housing and/or education are available on the enpf.kz website. You can review the program terms and obtain instructions and answers to your questions on the kids.enpf.kz website.

On September 17, 2026, the Embassy of Kazakhstan in Mexico held a presentation on Kazakhstan’s investment and economic opportunities for representatives of federal and local government authorities, the business community, and non-governmental organizations. The event also attracted interest from staff members of foreign diplomatic missions.Kazakhstan remains relatively little-known to the Mexican population. Getting to know our country often begins through Kazakhstan’s vibrant cultural and sporting projects. In particular, there is considerable excitement in Mexico surrounding Dimash Qudaibergen’s upcoming concerts in November.In this regard, Ambassador Almurat Turganbekov expressed his special appreciation to Maribel Martinez Ruiz, Chair of the Friendship Group of the Chamber of Deputies of the Mexican General Congress, for her support in organizing a series of events in connection with the upcoming concert.The world-renowned professional boxing star Gennady “GGG” Golovkin enjoys great popularity.The talent of world No. 1 tennis player Elena Rybakina has also won many fans.As part of the presentation, the Embassy informed the guests that Kazakhstan, as the heir to the civilization of the Great Steppe, has a rich history dating back many centuries.Our country is pursuing a targeted policy aimed at both improving its domestic political structure and modernizing the economy and investment climate.In particular, the participants were briefed on the key outcomes of the political reforms introduced following the adoption of the country’s new Constitution.At the same time, the Embassy presented major national projects aimed at developing transport infrastructure along key international corridors passing through Kazakhstan, further advancing digitalization and the adoption of artificial intelligence across various sectors, as well as the construction of the new smart city of Alatau City.Moreover, examples of the development of bilateral trade with Mexico and other countries of North and South America in recent years clearly demonstrated that distance is not a significant obstacle. In today’s world, seeking new opportunities is a key condition for maintaining stability and competitiveness, particularly amid disruptions to traditional supply chains.In this regard, Kazakhstan is one of the countries with which expanding comprehensive ties offers additional opportunities.Representatives of government and business circles expressed interest in cooperation. Particular attention was drawn to the potential for introducing Kazakhstani e-government technologies in Mexico, as well as expanding bilateral trade.
