В Правительстве состоялось очередное 100-е заседание Межведомственной комиссии по вопросам регулирования предпринимательской деятельности под председательством заместителя Премьер-министра – министра национальной экономики Серика Жумангарина. Участники подвели итоги работы по развитию малого и среднего предпринимательства за 2025 год, рассмотрели меры по дальнейшему снижению административной нагрузки на бизнес, а также поддержали законодательные инициативы, направленные на усиление контроля в сфере карантина растений, зернового рынка и регулирования электронных лотерей.По итогам 2025 года сектор малого и среднего предпринимательства продолжил укреплять свои позиции в экономике страны. Как сообщил вице-министр национальной экономики Ерлан Сагнаев, на 1 января 2026 года в Казахстане зарегистрировано 2,4 млн субъектов малого и среднего предпринимательства, из которых 2,2 млн являются действующими. За последние пять лет доля действующих предприятий выросла с 84,3% до 92,2%, увеличившись на 7,9 процентного пункта. Основную часть предпринимательского сектора составляет малый бизнес – 2,4 млн субъекта. Продолжает расти и вклад малого и среднего бизнеса в экономику страны. Если в 2020 году его доля в ВВП составляла 32,9%, то по итогам 2025 года достигла 40,9%. Из них вклад малого бизнеса составил 33,7%, среднего – 7,2%. На заседании отмечено, что государством продолжается работа по цифровизации регулирования и сокращению административных процедур. В 2025 году количество проверок бизнеса снизилось на 4,9%. Проверки на соответствие квалификационным требованиям сократились на 69,5% – с 1 173 до 358. Внеплановые проверки уменьшились с 47 154 до 46 884, иные проверки – с 4 993 до 3 449.Продолжается оптимизация разрешительной системы. Министерства по чрезвычайным ситуациям, внутренних дел и сельского хозяйства сократили сроки выдачи отдельных разрешительных документов, что позволяет предпринимателям экономить от 6 до 18 дней. Работа ведется и по сокращению отчетности. Из 192 действующих информационных инструментов предложено дополнительно сократить 15%. Уже автоматизировано 79 инструментов, или 40,7% от общего количества. В частности, в системе «Е-Минфин» в электронный формат переведены 10 форм отчетности.Одним из вопросов заседания стали поправки в законодательство, направленные на снижение рисков чрезмерного вовлечения граждан в электронные моментальные и тиражные лотереи.Поводом для изменений стали обращения граждан, поступающие в государственные органы. По информации Министерства туризма и спорта, участились случаи крупных финансовых потерь населения в электронных лотереях (к примеру, факты значительных проигрышей зафиксированы среди жителей Актюбинской области и города Шымкент). В настоящее время в стране функционирует более 200 организаций, осуществляющих такую деятельность.Поправками предлагается увеличить интервал между розыгрышами электронной тиражной лотереи в «лофтпарках» – вместо проведения каждые три минуты они смогут проводиться не чаще одного раза в 30 минут.Кроме того, вводится ограничение на количество приобретаемых билетов электронной моментальной лотереи у оператора лотереи за определенный период времени.Отдельное внимание в ходе заседания было уделено правовому регулированию в агропромышленном комплексе. В связи с отменой обязательных карантинных сертификатов при межобластной перевозке продукции в 2025 году возникли риски бесконтрольного распространения карантинных объектов. В 2023 году было выявлено 1 986 нарушений на сумму штрафов 158,5 млн тенге, в 2024 году – 2 093 нарушения на сумму 208,1 млн тенге.Поправками предлагается вновь сделать карантинный сертификат обязательным при межобластных перевозках подкарантинной продукции и установить административную ответственность за его отсутствие.Размер штрафов составит: для физических лиц – 20 МРП; для должностных лиц, субъектов малого предпринимательства и некоммерческих организаций – 30 МРП; для субъектов среднего предпринимательства – 40 МРП; для субъектов крупного предпринимательства – 100 МРП.Еще одним решением станет возвращение ежегодного обследования хлебоприемных предприятий перед приемом нового урожая. Вице-министр сельского хозяйства Ермек Кенжеханулы сообщил, что системные обследования хлебоприемных предприятий не проводились в стране с 2018 года.По его словам, это обусловлено изменениями в законодательстве и общим подходом к проведению проверок. Действующий подход не позволял обеспечить непрерывный и комплексный мониторинг всего технологического цикла – от приемки зерна до его хранения и последующей отгрузки. В результате за последние пять лет проверочные мероприятия охватили предприятия лишь четырех областей, что существенно повышало риски технологических нарушений при сушке и хранении зерновых культур. В 2024 году было выявлено 37 нарушений требований законодательства о зерне, к ответственности привлечен 31 субъект бизнеса. В 2025 году зафиксировано 11 нарушений, привлечены четыре предприятия.Поправками в Закон «О зерне», Предпринимательский кодекс и Кодекс об административных правонарушениях предусматривается введение обязательного ежегодного обследования хлебоприемных предприятий, а также административной ответственности за несоответствие установленным требованиям.Реформа затронет 189 субъектов бизнеса, зарегистрированных в системе зерновых расписок «AgriBonds» на платформе «QOLDAU». Ожидается, что новые меры позволят обеспечить безопасное хранение и бесперебойную приемку зерна нового урожая.По итогам заседания МВК результаты анализа регуляторного воздействия по рассмотренным выше вопросам были одобрены комиссией.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/economy/press/news/details/1257444?lang=ru

From February 1, 2024, to July 1, 2026, 333,809 applications for a total of approximately $62.71 million were processed. Funds were transferred to authorized operators for subsequent deposit into applicants' bank accounts.Among the processed applications, housing improvements were the most numerous: 216,060 applications for over $41.01 million. Education funding received 117,749 applications for $21.69 million.As a reminder, recipients of targeted savings (TS) have the right to use the entire 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 recipient's individual pension savings account to account for voluntary pension contributions.The most popular housing improvement program was replenishing housing construction savings for further accumulation (211,474 applications completed, totaling approximately $40.25 million). Funds were also used as down payments for mortgage loans to purchase housing (1,583 applications, totaling $269,480), and for the purpose of acquiring housing through civil law transactions (final settlements), totaling 1,081 applications, totaling $177,790.Within the scope of the CTD program for education, the largest amount of funds was allocated to pay for educational services at educational institutions located in the Republic of Kazakhstan, either in installments (for each academic period or academic year) or in full (for the entire term of study) (108,782 applications, totaling approximately $20.36 million, were completed). The following areas were also in demand: replenishment of an educational savings deposit under an agreement on an educational savings deposit (6,153 applications were completed for a total of approximately 894.12 thousand US dollars), payment for educational services of foreign educational organizations in installments (for each academic period or academic year) or in full at one time (for the entire period of study) (2,175 applications were completed for a total of 335.33 thousand US dollars). Detailed information on social security payments for the purpose of improving housing conditions and/or paying for education, broken down by authorized operators and regions, is available on the enpf.kz website.Let us recall that based on the results of 2025, Kazakhstani children received the next payment in the amount of 130.71 US dollars per child, for 2024 - 129.38 US dollars, and for 2023 - 100.52 US dollars.Children under 18 receive annual payments from the National Fund as targeted benefits. According to law, the amounts accrued to young Kazakhstanis remain part of the National Fund's assets and continue to be invested. Through continued investment, each child's targeted benefit amount increases annually through the investment income received.As a result, the total accumulated target requirement (including the annually accrued investment income) for a child participating in the program:- three years, $370.56;- two years, $263.93;- one year, $130.71. Parents and other legal representatives can check the child's under 18 participation in the program using their child's IIN on the website kids.enpf.kz, in their personal account on the eGov.kz e-government portal, and in the eGov Mobile and select second-tier bank mobile apps.If information about target benefits accrued to children for the 2025 reporting year is not displayed, you must update your documents in your mobile apps by following this path:in the eGov Mobile app: "Digital Documents" - "Family" - "Update Document List" - "Accruals from the National Fund";in second-tier bank mobile apps, such as Kaspi.kz: "Gosuslugi" - "All Documents" - "Update Document List" - "Accruals from the National Fund."The absence of information about the accrual of target benefits 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 target benefits have acquired the status of TS, and therefore access to information about them is provided directly to the TS recipient (a citizen who has reached or will reach the age of 18 in 2026). These individuals must independently obtain information about their TS through their personal account on the UAPF or e-government websites. Upon reaching the age of 18, they can contact an authorized operator to open a US dollar bank account and submit an online application for TS payment to improve their housing conditions and/or pay for education.Currently, the following are authorized operators:Otbasy Bank JSC (for housing and education),Halyk Bank JSC (for education),Bank CenterCredit JSC (for education).Statistics on minor children eligible for targeted assistance and adult recipients of the TS, as well as on the use of the TS for housing and/or education, can be found on the enpf.kz website.You can learn more about the program, get instructions, and get answers to your questions on the website kids.enpf.kz.

From January 1, 2026, the new Tax Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan entered into force, significantly changing the procedure for claiming Value Added Tax (VAT) input tax credits. The new rules establish a clear and uniform approach, making tax compliance easier for taxpayers and reducing the number of disputes.Previously, the moment when VAT could be claimed as an input tax credit often depended on the date the invoice was issued, which led to uncertainty. Under the new Tax Code, a single approach based on the actual date of the taxable event has been introduced. For goods, works, and services, VAT may be claimed on the date they are actually received. For works and services, this date is the date on which the acceptance certificate (act of completed works/services) is signed. This change enables taxpayers to better plan their tax obligations.For imports from non-EAEU countries, VAT may be claimed on the date the goods are released in accordance with customs legislation. For imports from member states of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU), the right to claim VAT arises on the date the VAT is paid. For works and services supplied by non-residents, VAT may be claimed on the date the electronic invoice (e-Invoice) is issued. The taxpayer must issue the e-Invoice within the established deadline and may claim the VAT on that date, provided the services are used for taxable transactions. These changes make the procedure more transparent and business-friendly.The new Tax Code also expands VAT credit opportunities for agricultural producers. The additional VAT amount eligible for credit has been increased from 70% to 80%, supporting the development of the agricultural sector.Another important innovation is the integration of the VAT input tax credit mechanism with the Electronic Invoice Information System (IS ESF). Before submitting the VAT Return (Form 300.00), taxpayers may indicate their VAT input tax credits directly in the electronic invoice system. This mechanism enhances transparency and enables tax authorities to monitor transactions more efficiently.Special transitional rules have been established. If goods, works, or services were acquired in December 2025, the timing for claiming the VAT credit is determined under the provisions of the previous Tax Code. If the purchase was made in 2025 but the invoice was issued in 2026, the latest applicable date under the previous rules applies. These transitional provisions allow businesses to adapt smoothly to the new requirements.The right to claim a VAT input tax credit remains available only to VAT-registered taxpayers, provided that the acquired goods, works, or services are used for taxable supplies and are supported by proper documentation. The new Tax Code also clarifies the list of transactions for which VAT credits are not allowed, particularly those related to non-taxable or VAT-exempt supplies.Overall, the new VAT input tax credit rules modernize tax administration and make it more convenient for businesses. Taxpayers are encouraged to update their accounting systems in accordance with the new requirements and to make active use of the capabilities of the Electronic Invoice Information System.If you need this translated in a more formal legal style or adapted for publication by the State Revenue Committee, I can prepare that version as well.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/kgd-zhetysu/press/news/details/1257326?lang=ru

          The State Revenue Committee of the Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Kazakhstan reminds participants in foreign economic activity of the need to comply with the requirements of currency legislation when conducting export-import operations.        One of the key requirements is the repatriation of the currency. This means that Kazakhstani companies are obliged to ensure:      - receipt of export earnings to accounts in authorized banks of the Republic of Kazakhstan;      - refund of funds transferred to a foreign supplier if the goods have not been delivered, the work or services have not been performed, or the obligations under a foreign economic agreement have not been fulfilled.      In other words, if the foreign partner has not fulfilled the terms of the agreement, the resident of the Republic of Kazakhstan must take measures to return the transferred funds to their bank accounts.      Currency control is aimed at ensuring compliance with legal requirements, protecting the economic interests of the country and returning foreign exchange earnings to the Republic of Kazakhstan.      In order to avoid violations, the State Revenue Committee recommends that participants in foreign economic activity:       - ensure timely receipt of export earnings or refund of funds for import operations in cases stipulated by law.;   - monitor the deadlines for fulfilling obligations under foreign economic agreements;     - when changing the terms of the agreement, execute additional agreements in a timely manner and make appropriate changes to the accounting data of the currency agreement;      - keep documents confirming the fulfillment of obligations under foreign economic agreements;      - if you have any questions, please contact the state revenue authorities, the National Bank of the Republic of Kazakhstan or an authorized servicing bank.      Administrative liability is provided for violation of the requirements of the currency legislation.      According to the results of the first half of 2026, 1 116 administrative protocols were drawn up under article 244 of the Code of Administrative Offences of the Republic of Kazakhstan («Violation of the procedure for obtaining an account number for a currency agreement with a bank and submitting information on it»).      According to Article 251 of the Administrative Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan («Failure to comply with the requirement of repatriation of national and (or) foreign currency») 141 participants in foreign economic activity were brought to administrative responsibility, the total amount of fines imposed amounted to 15.3 billion tenge.      The largest fines for violating the requirements of the currency legislation have been imposed:     - there are more than 9.2 billion tenge in Almaty city;     - there are more than 1.8 billion tenge in Pavlodar region;     - there are more than 1.1 billion tenge in the Zhetysu region;     - more than 1 billion tenge in the city of Astana.       These examples show that non-compliance with the requirements of the currency legislation entails administrative liability, regardless of the size of the enterprise and the type of activity carried out.       The Committee of State Revenue calls on all participants in foreign economic activity to carefully comply with the requirements of the currency legislation, timely fulfill their obligations under foreign economic contracts, and take necessary measures to prevent violations.       Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/kgd/press/news/details/1257254?lang=ru
