Due to the reform of tax legislation, the mechanism for applying tax deductions for individuals is undergoing fundamental updates. The procedure involving preliminary deductions of up to 282 MCI applied with an employer and subsequently recorded in Declaration 270.00 is a transitional rule established exclusively for the year 2025. For income earned in 2025, a temporary framework for preliminary "other" deductions applies, which covers expenses for education, medical care, mortgage interest, and voluntary pension contributions. During 2025, an employee was entitled to apply a preliminary deduction with their employer based on a written application—without presenting receipts or contracts—in an amount not exceeding 282 MCI per year or up to 23.5 MCI per month. However, deductions for education, medical treatment, or mortgage interest cannot exceed 118 MCI for each individual category, while the total annual deduction cap across all categories is 564 MCI. Individuals who utilized preliminary deductions with their employer in 2025 are required to submit the Declaration of Income and Assets (Form 270.00) by September 15, 2026. The primary requirement is that all deductions claimed in the declaration must be strictly supported by documentation—such as contracts, receipts, and payment slips—which must be retained throughout the statute of limitations period. Under this framework, if the deduction amount in a given month exceeds the monthly salary, any unused balance cannot be carried forward to the following month and is forfeited. If the declaration results in an excess personal income tax (PIT) amount refundable from the budget, the tax authorities will conduct a compliance check regarding the eligibility of the deductions claimed, and refunds for 2025 tax liabilities will be processed up to September 15, 2027. Starting January 1, 2026, the procedure for claiming preliminary "other" deductions via employer applications and receipt collection will cease to operate. The new Tax Code simplifies tax administration by introducing a single fixed tax deduction of 30 MCI for all categories of citizens. Consequently, the preliminary deduction mechanism of up to 282 MCI serves as a one-off tool applicable only to 2025 income. Citizens who applied for such deductions with their employers during 2025 must ensure they keep all supporting receipts and documents to report them in Declaration 270.00 by September 15, 2026.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/kgd-zhetysu/press/news/details/1287244?lang=ru

АО «ФРП «Даму»  запустил работу пилотных Центров поддержки и сопровождения бизнеса в Астане, Алматы, Шымкенте, Северо-Казахстанской и Актюбинской областях.Фонд «Даму» рассматривает возможность расширения формата работы и внедрения механизма комплексного сопровождения бизнеса. Такой подход позволит обеспечить предпринимателям более удобное взаимодействие с государственными органами, финансовыми институтами и другими организациями при решении вопросов, связанных с развитием бизнеса.В рамках пилотного проекта планируется объединить имеющуюся инфраструктуру, экспертизу и инструменты поддержки, а также взаимодействие с организациями Холдинга «Байтерек» в рамках Единого фронт-офиса. Механизм предполагает сопровождение предпринимателей на всех этапах - от диагностики проблемы до ее урегулирования.Работа Центров построена следующим образом: предприниматель обращается в региональный филиал Фонда «Даму», где специалисты проводят первичную диагностику ситуации, определяют возможные механизмы ее решения и формируют дальнейший маршрут сопровождения. В зависимости от характера обращения к работе с кейсом подключаются профильные государственные органы, финансовые институты, местные исполнительные органы и организации группы Холдинга «Байтерек». Фонд «Даму» координирует взаимодействие между участниками и сопровождает предпринимателя до получения решения по его вопросу. Таким образом, предпринимателю не требуется самостоятельно обращаться в каждое ведомство по отдельности.В рамках пилотного проекта основное внимание будет уделено вопросам, которые непосредственно влияют на финансовую устойчивость и продолжение деятельности бизнеса.В частности, предприниматели смогут получить содействие по вопросам:реструктуризации задолженности и доступа к финансированию;получения мер государственной поддержки;урегулирования налоговой задолженности;восстановления доступа к рынкам сбыта и продвижения продукции;развития предпринимательских компетенций;государственной поддержки и финансирования субъектов АПК.Такие направления были определены на основе анализа более 2,4 тыс. проблемных обращений субъектов МСБ из реестра НПП «Атамекен». Более 600 из них поступили из пяти регионов, где реализуется пилотный проект. Наиболее часто предприниматели обращались по вопросам финансирования и реструктуризации задолженности, получения мер господдержки, налогообложения, сбыта продукции и развития бизнеса.Главный критерий - решенный вопросВ отличие от традиционного консультационного формата, эффективность Центров будет оцениваться прежде всего по результату. Ключевым показателем станет доля урегулированных обращений предпринимателей, а также содействие в восстановлении доступа бизнеса к финансированию и рынкам сбыта, решении проблемных кредитов и налоговых вопросов, соблюдении сроков рассмотрения обращений.Одновременно Центры будут формировать аналитику по повторяющимся проблемам бизнеса. Это позволит выявлять системные барьеры и вырабатывать предложения по совершенствованию действующих мер поддержки и законодательства.Пилотный проект продлится до конца 2026 года. По его итогам будет проведена оценка эффективности нового механизма и подготовлены предложения по его дальнейшему масштабированию на другие регионы страны.Обратиться в Центр поддержки и сопровождения бизнеса можно в региональных филиалах Фонда «Даму» в пяти пилотных регионах. Адреса и контактные данные региональных филиалов доступны на официальном сайте Фонда. Также информацию можно получить в Едином контакт-центре по номеру 1408.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/economy/press/news/details/1287250?lang=ru

Tokyo, September 8, 2026 - A signing ceremony for an agreement to establish a joint venture between the Kazakhstani company “Shin-Line” and the Japanese company “Shigemitsu Industry”, which specializes in food production and restaurant business development, was held at the Embassy of the Republic of Kazakhstan in Japan.The agreement was signed on behalf of the Kazakhstani side by Andrey Shin, Chairman of the Board of Directors of “Shin-Line”, and on behalf of the Japanese side by Katsuaki Shigemitsu, President of “Shigemitsu Industry”.The alliance is aimed at developing the well-known Japanese brand AJISEN RAMEN in Kazakhstan and subsequently expanding it into the markets of countries across the region. A key area of cooperation will be the phased localization of “Shigemitsu Industry”’s production in the Republic of Kazakhstan, using advanced Japanese technologies and production standards while taking HALAL requirements into account. At the first stage, the parties plan to establish a centralized production facility at the “Shin-Line” site in Baiserke village, Almaty Region, and open the brand’s first flagship restaurant in Almaty.Speaking at the ceremony, Ambassador Yerlan Baudarbеk-Kozhataev noted that the project represents a practical result of the expansion of Kazakh-Japan economic cooperation in non-resource sectors. In his view, the launch of the enterprise will contribute to attracting Japanese technologies and management expertise, developing the food industry, and creating new jobs.In the future, the parties plan to expand the network across Central Asian countries and, in the longer term, are considering entering the markets of the EAEU, the Caucasus and Eastern Europe. Localizing production in Kazakhstan will create opportunities to supply both the domestic market and potential network outlets in neighboring countries.For the Japanese side, the project offers wide opportunities to promote the brand in the Central Asian region and to use Kazakhstan as a key production and logistics hub.Background: Shigemitsu Industry traces its history back to 1968 and has extensive experience in food production and the restaurant business. The company is engaged in international franchising, food production, personnel training, and the development of new products.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/mfa-tokyo/press/news/details/1287217?lang=ru

Today, September 7 of this year, the Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Kazakhstan successfully completed its second issuance of sovereign Panda bonds on the Chinese stock market, in a total volume of RMB 6.6 billion. The Panda bonds were placed in two tranches: a 3-year tranche at a coupon rate of 1.82% per annum in the amount of RMB 5 billion, and a 5-year tranche at a coupon rate of 1.95% per annum in the amount of RMB 1.6 billion.Kazakhstan has once again secured financing in the Chinese market on terms comparable to those available to countries with higher "A" category credit ratings. The strong investor interest reflects a positive assessment of the economic and structural reforms being pursued in Kazakhstan, aimed at diversifying and strengthening the resilience of the economy.The issuance follows the upgrade of Kazakhstan's sovereign credit rating by S&P from "BBB-" to "BBB" with a "Stable" outlook, reflecting sustainable growth prospects and a low level of government debt, which stands at 20.9% of GDP. External government debt stands at 4.5% of GDP, one of the lowest levels in the world.The placement took place against the background of further strengthening of a comprehensive strategic partnership between Kazakhstan and China. The partnership has acquired an unprecedentedly high level, covering almost all key areas - from trade and investment to energy, transport, industrial cooperation and digitalization. Deepening cooperation in the capital markets, including through the entry of Kazakhstani issuers into the Chinese market, serves as a practical reflection of this course.The placement took place against the backdrop of the further strengthening of the comprehensive strategic partnership between Kazakhstan and China. The partnership has reached an unprecedentedly high level, encompassing virtually all key areas — from trade and investment to energy, transport, industrial cooperation, and digitalization. The deepening of cooperation in capital markets, including through the entry of Kazakhstani issuers into the Chinese market, serves as a practical reflection of this course.The steady expansion of Kazakhstan's presence in international capital markets contributes to broadening funding sources, diversifying the debt portfolio, and building sustainable access to a diverse range of investors. The Ministry of Finance will continue to pursue a balanced approach to sovereign borrowing, taking into account market conditions and the objectives of effective public debt management. This placement of three-year and five-year tranches further contributes to the development of Kazakhstan's sovereign yield curve in Chinese renminbi and establishes a benchmark for future issuances by Kazakhstani quasi-sovereign and corporate issuers.China International Capital Corporation Limited (CICC) acted as Lead Global Coordinator for the issuance. China Construction Bank Limited (CCB), Industrial and Commercial Bank of China Limited (ICBC), The Export-Import Bank of China, and Bank of China Limited (BOC) served as Joint Lead Managers. Teniz Capital Investment Banking JSC acted as local manager for the transaction. Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/minfin/press/news/details/1287189?lang=ru

Вопросы развития отечественного декоративного питомниководства рассмотрели на совещании в Правительстве под председательством заместителя Премьер-министра – министра национальной экономики РК Серика Жумангарина.В рамках поставленной Главой государства задачи по дальнейшему восстановлению лесных массивов и развитию инфраструктуры национальных парков особое значение приобретает развитие отечественных питомников декоративных растений. Они обеспечивают посадочным материалом проекты по благоустройству и озеленению населенных пунктов. На совещании рассмотрели основные проблемы отрасли и меры, необходимые для масштабирования отечественного производства.Сегодня Казахстан сохраняет зависимость от импортного посадочного материала. При этом растения, выращенные в отечественных питомниках, лучше адаптированы к местным климатическим условиям и имеют более высокую приживаемость. Кроме того, они требуют меньше затрат на химическую обработку и применение стимуляторов роста.Оценить объем внутреннего рынка и уровень импортозависимости сегодня сложно: официальная статистика отдельно не учитывает производство декоративных растений.Декоративное питомниководство – молодая, высокотехнологичная и наукоемкая подотрасль растениеводства, ориентированная на производство стандартизированного посадочного материала, адаптированного к конкретным природно-климатическим условиям. Сегодня зеленые насаждения являются не только элементом благоустройства, но и важной частью городской инфраструктуры, выполняющей экологические, инженерные и эстетические функции.Как отметили представители Центральноазиатской ассоциации питомников растений, в отрасли отсутствуют стандарты на декоративные культуры. Не урегулирован и вопрос землепользования: в Земельном кодексе РК нет отдельной категории земель для декоративного питомниководства. Существующие виды целевого назначения земель, в том числе лесоразведение и садоводство, не учитывают специфику деятельности питомников, предусматривающую выращивание растений с последующим выкапыванием и пересадкой. При работе на сельскохозяйственных землях возникают ограничения для строительства капитальных теплиц, складов и систем автоматического полива.Еще один вопрос касается классификации видов деятельности в сфере декоративного питомниководства. По мнению представителей отрасли, действующая классификация требует уточнения с учетом специфики выращивания и требований к посадочному материалу. Вместе с тем участники совещания отметили значительный потенциал для развития сети отечественных питомников и выхода на экспортные рынки. Географическое положение Казахстана позволяет ориентироваться на страны со схожими климатическими условиями. Растения, выращенные в резко континентальном климате, имеют конкурентное преимущество по адаптации и приживаемости.По итогам совещания Серик Жумангарин поручил Министерству экологии совместно с министерствами сельского хозяйства, промышленности, акиматами и представителями отрасли провести комплексный анализ состояния декоративного питомниководства. Он должен охватить объемы отечественного производства и импорта, потребности регионов, а также существующие барьеры для развития отрасли. Также госорганы проработают поднятые бизнесом вопросы совершенствования классификации видов экономической деятельности в данной сфере и детализации ТН ВЭД.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/economy/press/news/details/1286854?lang=ru
