The State Revenue Committee of the Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Kazakhstan reports.       Preliminary filling of the VAT declaration (TNF 300.00) is carried out on the basis of information available in the information systems of state revenue bodies, including the information system of electronic invoices, personal accounts of taxpayers and declarations for goods.       The service works on the principle of T-1, that is, it is updated with a delay of one day. If ESFs are issued today or VAT offset notices are sent, they will be reflected only tomorrow.      Please note that the pre-filling service uses data from VAT offset notices with the status "confirmed," therefore it is recommended to fill out the notices carefully and correctly.     At the same time, the pre-filling service helps to reduce the number of office control notifications and is used to check and inform when filling out the TNF.At the same time, the service uses data provided by taxpayers themselves. Since such data may be later modified or refined, this may affect the results of office control and subsequent receipt of notifications. Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/kgd-akmola/press/news/details/1222992?lang=kk

На 15-м заседании Проектного офиса по внедрению Налогового кодекса под председательством заместителя Премьер-министра – министра национальной экономики Серика Жумангарина рассмотрели очередной пул вопросов налогового администрирования и отраслевого регулирования.Одной из тем заседания стало налогообложение доходов по операциям денежно-кредитного рынка. С 1 января 2025 г. по 1 января 2026 г. действовал специальный порядок налогообложения отдельных видов доходов по операциям денежно-кредитного рынка. В связи с этим  у плательщиков корпоративного подоходного налога возникла необходимость корректировки порядка расчета и уплаты авансовых платежей по корпоративному подоходному налогу, а также правил составления налоговой отчетности.Согласно нормам прежнего Налогового кодекса, доходы по операциям денежно-кредитного рынка за 2025 г. облагались по ставке 10%. При этом налоговая база формировалась исключительно по итогам завершенного налогового периода и носила разовый, непериодический характер.Вместе с тем действующие нормы предусматривают включение суммы такого налога в расчет авансовых платежей по КПН. По мнению представителя Нацбанка, это приводит к необоснованному увеличению размера авансовых платежей, поскольку в 2026 г. операции денежно-кредитного рынка уже не подлежат дополнительному налогообложению.В этой связи предложено внести изменения в порядок расчета и уплаты авансовых платежей по КПН, а также в правила составления налоговой отчетности, в том числе в части расчета разницы между суммой исчисленных авансовых платежей и суммой исчисленного КПН. Со своей стороны, Минфин поддержал это предложение и принял в работу. Также на заседании снова обсудили возможность внедрения единой сквозной ставки НДС в сфере здравоохранения. Участники сошлись во мнении, что единая ставка необходима, однако дискуссия продолжается вокруг ее размера.Напомним, с 1 января 2026 г. для оборота по реализации и импорту лекарственных средств, медицинских изделий, комплектующих и технических вспомогательных средств установлена пониженная ставка НДС в размере 5%, а с 1 января 2027 г. она составит 10%.При этом от НДС освобождены обороты по реализации и импорту лекарственных средств и медицинских услуг, оказываемых в рамках ГОБМП и ОСМС, включая лечение орфанных и социально значимых заболеваний. По словам участников заседания, сочетание льготных и освобожденных режимов создает сложности в администрировании налога.По итогам обсуждения Серик Жумангарин поручил дополнительно просчитать параметры возможной ставки и ее влияние на отрасль и бюджет.Еще одним вопросом стала возможность отмены обязанности по сдаче формы 200 для субъектов, применяющих упрощенный налоговый режим.Налоговый консультант Айжан Балакешова отметила, что сегодня такую отчетность наряду с крупными компаниями сдают и субъекты малого бизнеса с небольшим числом работников. По ее словам, это увеличивает административную нагрузку, требует более детализированного учета, дополнительных затрат на бухгалтерское сопровождение и повышает риски ошибок и штрафов.Заместитель председателя КГД Жаныбек Нуржанов пояснил, что форма 200 предусмотрена только для компаний, имеющих наемных работников, и необходима прежде всего для своевременного учета социальных платежей и защиты прав работников.Он также отметил, что действующий специальный налоговый режим существенно отличается от прежнего: порог применения СНР сегодня составляет 2,6 млрд тенге, а компании могут использовать вычеты по расходам на оплату труда при достижении оборота в 103,8 млн тенге в год и работать без постановки на НДС.По данным КГД, из 1,2 млн налогоплательщиков, представивших упрощенную декларацию в феврале этого года, около 800 тыс. имели задолженность по социальным платежам. В ведомстве считают, что ежеквартальная отчетность позволяет равномерно распределять нагрузку на бизнес и снижает риск накопления задолженности.Позицию КГД поддержали представители Министерства труда и социальной защиты населения, отметив, что форма 200 необходима для прозрачности учета доходов наемных работников и контроля социальных обязательств.По итогам заседания Серик Жумангарин поручил дополнительно проанализировать необходимость сохранения формы 200 для субъектов малого и среднего бизнеса.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/economy/press/news/details/1222949?lang=kk

Сегодня в Сенате Парламента РК состоялся Правительственный час на тему «Финансирование роста экономики в 2026 году».С основным докладом выступил вице-министр национальной экономики Арман Касенов, презентовавший доклад с текущей ситуацией в экономике и подходами проактивной экономической политики, нацеленную на достижение к 2029 году ВВП в размере 450 млрд долларов США.В ходе выступления вице-министр отметил, что в последние три года реальный рост ВВП Казахстана стабильно превышает 5%, опережая среднемировые показатели более чем в 1,5 раза.«Для сохранения набранной динамики главным драйвером должно стать форсированное привлечение инвестиций. Согласно данным Всемирного банка, Казахстан уже опережает большинство стран мира по уровню инвестиционной активности, но для качественного рывка мы ставим задачу увеличить долю инвестиций в основной капитал с нынешних 14% до 23% к 2029 году, сформировав дополнительный приток в размере около 85 млрд долларов», - добавил Арман Касенов.Презентовано видение по реализации проактивной экономической стратегия, базирующейся на трех ключевых «столпах»: точечном анализе и определении высокопродуктивных ниш, адресном привлечении ведущих мировых компаний и готовности государства предоставить масштабное финансирование.Министерством отмечено о приоритетности реализации кластеров с высоким экспортным потенциалом, включая медную и алюминиевую промышленность, где объем новых перспективных проектов оценивается более чем в 10–12 млрд долларов. Наряду с металлургией колоссальный мультипликативный эффект ожидается от глубокой переработки продукции АПК (потенциал свыше 5 млрд долларов), яркими примерами которой выступают запуск завода инвестора Dalian Hesheng в Акмолинской области проект компанииFufeng в Жамбылской области.Параллельно с развитием экспорта сформированы пулы проектов в сфере импортозамещения, включая проекты в АПК на сумму более 4 трлн тенге, а также ниши в производстве сахара, мясной продукции и строительстве теплиц. Чтобы активно вовлечь бизнес в эти направления, с марта текущего года уже направлены официальные приглашения и готовые кейсы нескольким сотням ведущих мировых корпораций.Реализация данных индустриальных проектов призвана ускорить диверсификацию экономики, в результате которой доля нефтедобычи в ВВП страны уже снизилась более чем в два раза - с 16,5% в 2010 году до 8,1% в 2024 году.Учитывая масштаб стоящих задач, Правительство уже приняло комплекс мер по повышению доступности финансирования для бизнеса, включая дифференцированное снижение ставки КПН для банков, снижение требований по собственному участию заемщиков до 20%, а также запуск механизмов гарантирования крупных кредитов и расширение поддержки МСБ через фонд «Даму».Для обеспечения ликвидности самих институтов развития запущена трехлетняя программа ежегодной капитализации холдинга «Байтерек» по 1 трлн тенге, что за счет рыночного плеча позволит направлять в экономику до 8 трлн тенге ежегодно (около 40 трлн тенге за 5 лет). Дополнительно министерство ожидает зеркальной активизации со стороны коммерческих банков, потенциал кредитования бизнеса которых оценивается еще в 15–20 трлн тенге.В завершение доклада было отмечено, что весь этот комплекс синергетических мер призван обеспечить появление перспективных проектов в приоритетных секторах, рост инвестиционной активности, увеличение доступности кредитов и дальнейшие высокие темпы экономического роста. Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/economy/press/news/details/1222903?lang=kk
