      Land plots located within the city limits of a city of national significance, the capital, and cities of regional and district significance are considered lands of populated areas. They are designated for the construction of housing, commercial facilities, social and engineering infrastructure, and are an important part of urban development.In accordance with the legislation of the Republic of Kazakhstan, citizens and legal entities may acquire land plots for private ownership or receive them for temporary land use. However, it should be noted that not all land within city limits can be transferred to private ownership. Public lands—roads, streets, parks, squares, and plazas—are not subject to transfer.Land rights may be acquired in the following ways:Provision of a state-owned land plot by decision of the akimat;participation in land auctions (auctions);purchase of a previously allocated land plot;acquisition through civil law transactions (purchase and sale, donation, inheritance).Land plots for the placement of business and commercial facilities are typically allocated through auction. To obtain a land plot, a citizen or legal entity must submit an application to the authorized body. This can be done:through the Public Service Center (PSC);through the e-government portal eGov.kz;directly to the Akimat (depending on the type of service).The application must specify the intended use of the land plot, its proposed location, and the type of right requested (ownership or land use). The application must be accompanied by documents proving the applicant's identity, as well as other documents required by the rules for providing the public service.After submitting the application, the feasibility of allocating the land plot is verified, taking into account the city's general plan, detailed planning project, intended use of the land, and urban development requirements. Following the review, the applicant is sent a decision—either to grant or deny the land plot, stating the reasons.It is important to remember that the land plot may have restrictions and encumbrances related to utility lines, sanitary and security zones, and special conditions for land use. It is recommended to verify this information in advance.Ownership or land use rights to a land plot arise only after its state registration. Prior to registration, a land plot is not considered registered.Before applying for a land plot, experts recommend clarifying the legal status of the land, its intended use, and any restrictions in advance by contacting the Akimat or Public Service Center. This will help avoid potential refusals and additional costs.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/abay-kurchatov/press/news/details/1148043?lang=kk

Сегодня в Правительстве под председательством заместителя Премьер-министра – министра национальной экономики Серика Жумангарина состоялось второе заседание Проектного офиса внедрения Налогового кодекса. Основной фокус обсуждения был сосредоточен на наиболее чувствительных для малого и микробизнеса вопросах, в том числе на механизмах налогового регулирования с «чистого листа».В первую очередь рассмотрены конкретные корректировки налогового администрирования в переходный период. Как было отмечено, в рамках корректировок по принципу с «чистого листа» до 1 января 2026 года субъекты малого и микробизнеса освобождаются от налоговых проверок и камерального контроля, а также от привлечения к административной ответственности. При этом предусмотрен ряд исключений, о которых Комитет государственных доходов ранее проинформировал через официальные каналы.«17 декабря 2025 года Правительством было принято решение о корректировке налогового администрирования на переходный период. В развитие этого решения разработаны правила списания пени и штрафов при условии уплаты налоговой задолженности до 1 апреля текущего года, пересмотрены процедуры ликвидации и прекращения деятельности субъектов предпринимательства, а также изменены подходы к камеральному контролю в отношении малого и микробизнеса. Проекты соответствующих нормативных правовых актов размещены на портале «Открытые НПА» и планируются к принятию в начале февраля», — проинформировал на заседании заместитель председателя Комитета госдоходов Жанибек Нуржанов. Отмечено, что по нарушениям, связанным с постановкой на учет по НДС и сформировавшимся до 2026 года, административные дела возбуждаться не будут, а ранее вынесенные органами государственных доходов  дела подлежат прекращению. Эти меры направлены на обеспечение максимально комфортного перехода бизнеса к новым условиям налогового администрирования.По итогам заседания КГД и НПП «Атамекен» договорились о проведении расширенного совещания с участием предпринимателей для разъяснения практики применения норм регулирования с «чистого листа».За прошедшую неделю в Комитет государственных доходов через call-центр и телеграм-бот Salykbot поступило 19,4 тыс. обращений, в Министерство национальной экономики – 50, в НПП «Атамекен» – 14. Основной поток прикладных вопросов поступает через каналы КГД. Чаще всего предпринимателей интересуют выбор налогового режима, работа в кабинете налогоплательщика, выписка электронных счетов-фактур и текущие процедурные вопросы. По таким обращениям разъяснения даются оперативно.В результате системной разъяснительной работы зафиксировано снижение нагрузки на call-центр КГД: если ранее ежедневно поступало порядка 5,5 тыс. обращений, то в настоящее время – около 4,7 тыс. в день.Вопросы системного характера аккумулируются в Министерстве национальной экономики и НПП «Атамекен». В их числе – применение ставок НДС по долгосрочным договорам, налогообложение ОСИ, условия налогообложения организаций, в которых работают лица с инвалидностью, применение различных ставок НДС и освобождений в сфере медицины, а также расширение перечня видов деятельности для самозанятых.Один из примеров таких обращений привел заместитель председателя НПП «Атамекен» Тимур Жаркенов. Речь идет об отмене льгот по НДС в сфере медицины. Согласно Налоговому кодексу, освобождение от НДС оборотов по реализации и импорту лекарственных средств сохраняется только в рамках ГОБМП и ОСМС, а также при лечении социально значимых и орфанных заболеваний. При этом лекарственные средства, реализуемые в коммерческом сегменте, медицинские изделия, а также материалы и комплектующие для их производства подлежат обложению НДС по ставке 5% с 2026 года и 10% – в дальнейшем. Это, по мнению бизнеса, может привести к росту расходов конечных потребителей.Дополнительно отмечены риски дефицита лекарственных средств и медицинских изделий в коммерческом сегменте в условиях установленных предельных цен, а также то, что обороты по реализации и импорту фармацевтических субстанций и оборудования для производства лекарств и медицинских изделий будут облагаться НДС по базовой ставке 16%.Серик Жумангарин отдельно поднял вопрос необходимости масштабной разъяснительной работы по использованию информационных систем налоговых органов. Было отмечено, что при активном развитии цифровых сервисов не все пользователи успевают адаптироваться к изменениям. В этой связи требуется выработка понятных алгоритмов обучения, в том числе с использованием цифровых помощников, а также обеспечение постоянной обратной связи с бизнесом.Работа по формированию пула системных вопросов будет продолжена на текущей неделе. Вопросы, требующие решений на уровне Проектного офиса, вынесут на рассмотрение на следующем заседании, запланированном на понедельник.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/economy/press/news/details/1148148?lang=kk
