A tax refund from the state budget is a procedure that requires the taxpayer to comply with certain conditions, the primary one being the absence of any outstanding debt to the state.The Main Condition for a RefundThe refund of paid or overpaid amounts is processed by the tax authority solely on the basis of a tax application. The key requirement is the complete absence of tax liabilities (debts) for both the taxpayer and their structural subdivisions. If there are outstanding debts, the refund is issued only for the remaining portion of the amount after an automatic offset is performed to clear all existing debts.Refund MechanismFiling an Application: The taxpayer specifies the bank account number for the funds to be credited in the application.Refund Period and Penalties: If the tax authority violates the established refund deadlines, interest (late payment penalties) shall accrue on the overpayment amount in favor of the taxpayer for each day of delay.Bank Errors: If the overpayment occurred due to a bank error (double debiting), the refund may be issued to the bank's account upon its application.Specifics of VAT and PIT RefundsVAT Excess: The confirmed amount of excess VAT can either be refunded to the bank account or offset against other taxes, at the taxpayer's option. There is a simplified refund procedure (for monitoring participants) and a refund based on the results of a thematic tax audit.Transitional Provisions for PIT (2025–2026): Individuals whose 2025 tax declaration shows an excess of Personal Income Tax (PIT) due to the application of deductions have the right to a refund after a special reconciliation is conducted by the tax authority.What Cannot Be Refunded?Amounts for which the statute of limitations has expired.State duty (court fee) is not refunded if the plaintiff withdraws the lawsuit or reduces their claims.VAT paid by foreign internet companies on e-commerce transactions (the "Google tax") is non-refundable.   Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/kgd-zhetysu/press/news/details/1258705?lang=ru

A serviceman of the National Guard of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Kazakhstan rescued a child who was drowning in Lake Balkhash. The incident occurred at approximately 3:30 p.m. on July 15 at an unregulated beach in the village of Shubartubek, Karaganda Region.The child was rescued by Major Diyar Dzhakupov, Chief of the Armored Service of Military Unit 5510 of the National Guard's Ortalyq Regional Command. At the time of the incident, the officer was on annual leave and spending time with his family at the lakeside."My family and I were relaxing on the beach when I suddenly heard a woman desperately shouting, 'Help! Save my child!' I immediately ran toward the cries and saw the child struggling in the water. Without hesitation, I jumped into the lake, swam to the child, brought him safely to shore, and handed him over to his mother. At that moment, only one thing mattered to me—to save the child's life. There is no such thing as someone else's child, and human life is the greatest value," said Major Diyar Dzhakupov.Thanks to the officer's swift and decisive actions, tragedy was averted. The child was safely reunited with his mother and is now out of danger.The National Guard urges Kazakhstanis to take personal safety and the safety of their loved ones seriously. Observing water safety rules can help prevent tragic incidents and save lives. Press Service of the National Guard of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of KazakhstanSource : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/kvv/press/news/details/1258695?lang=ru

Under the digitalization of tax administration, the mechanism for offsetting tax overpayments has become almost entirely automated. The Tax Code of 2026 clearly distinguishes between the concepts of an "overpaid amount" (a positive difference between the actually paid and the assessed amounts) and an "erroneously paid amount" (a payment made with incorrect bank details, BIN/IIN, or Budget Classification Code [BCC]).Methods of OffsettingThe tax authority performs offsets exclusively in the national currency through two methods:Automatically (without application): to settle existing tax liabilities.Upon tax application: to allocate amounts toward future payments or to settle the tax liabilities of structural subdivisions (branches).Priority of Automatic OffsetIf an overpayment accumulates on a taxpayer's personal account, the system distributes it in a strict sequence to settle:current liabilities for the same type of tax;tax arrears (principal debt) for the same tax;tax arrears for other types of taxes and payments;late payment interest (penalties) for all taxes;administrative fines.Timelines and LimitationsStatute of limitations: an offset is permitted within 3 years for most taxpayers, and within 5 years for large business entities and subsoil users. Upon expiration of this period, the overpayment cannot be offset and is subject to write-off by the tax authority.Targeted nature (non-transferability): offsetting the overpayment of one taxpayer against the liabilities of another is prohibited, except for transactions between a legal entity and its branch.Erroneous payments: once an error is confirmed (for example, an incorrect BCC), the tax authority is metadata-obligated to transfer the offset to the correct code or to the appropriate authority. Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/kgd-zhetysu/press/news/details/1258688?lang=ru

 Effective January 1, 2026, the new Tax Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan (Law of the Republic of Kazakhstan No. 214-VIII dated July 18, 2025) entered into force, comprehensively reforming the country's tax system. The new legislation introduces significant changes across various areas of taxation, including the taxation of non-residents.           New Withholding Tax Rates on Non-Residents' Income. Beginning in 2026, new withholding tax rates apply to certain types of income derived by non-residents. In addition, a progressive personal income tax (PIT) scale has been introduced for specific categories of income.           Pursuant to Article 682 of the new Tax Code, dividends paid to an individual who directly or indirectly owns at least 25 percent of the capital of a resident legal entity are subject to the following tax rates: 5% on the portion of dividends not exceeding 230,000 Monthly Calculation Indices (MCI); 15% on the portion exceeding this threshold.          A 10% tax rate applies to: interest on loans and credits; income from debt securities; and winnings from gambling and betting activities.         Introduction of a Progressive Personal Income Tax ScaleUnder Articles 692 and 693 of the Tax Code, a progressive PIT scale has been introduced for: employment income of non-resident employees; and income of foreign citizens and stateless persons seconded by a non-resident legal entity that is not registered as a taxpayer in the Republic of Kazakhstan.         The applicable rates are: 10% on income up to 8,500 MCI; 15% on the portion exceeding 8,500 MCI.          Accordingly, the progressive tax rates apply exclusively to the employment income of the above categories of non-resident individuals. Income Taxed at Existing Rates Certain categories of non-resident income continue to be taxed under the existing rules.           Income received by non-resident individuals under civil law contracts (service agreements), as well as other non-employment income of non-residents, remains subject to a 20% withholding tax without the application of tax deductions.The following types of income continue to be taxed at 15%: dividends (except where the new progressive rules apply); capital gains; interest income; and royalties.  Abolition of Certain Dividend Tax Exemptions. Under the previous version of the Tax Code, Article 646 provided tax relief for dividend income where specific conditions were met, including the requirement that shares or participating interests had been held for more than three years. Effective January 1, 2026, these tax incentives have been abolished. Consequently, the preferential tax treatment previously available for qualifying dividend income is no longer applicable.New Taxation Rules for Non-Resident Labour ImmigrantsThe 2026 Tax Code also introduces significant changes to the taxation of income earned by non-resident labour immigrants.The taxable income of a non-resident labour immigrant consists of:a minimum taxable income equal to 40 Monthly Calculation Indices (MCI) for each month during which work is performed or services are rendered; andthe amount by which the income payable under the employment contract exceeds the minimum taxable income for the relevant period, where such excess exists.The taxable excess is calculated as follows:income received for work performed or services rendered during each month of the relevant period;less the minimum taxable income for the same period;less an additional deduction equal to 14 Monthly Calculation Indices (MCI) for each month during which work is performed or services are rendered.Payment of Personal Income Tax. Personal income tax calculated on the minimum taxable income must be paid before obtaining or extending the labour immigrant's permit, at the place of residence (stay) of the non-resident labour immigrant.Personal income tax calculated on the taxable excess must be paid no later than ten calendar days after the deadline for filing the Declaration of Income and Property for the relevant tax period.Filing of the Tax Return. A non-resident labour immigrant is required to submit the Declaration of Income and Property to the tax authority at the place of residence (stay) no later than July 1 of the year following the reporting tax period.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/kgd-vko/press/news/details/1258476?lang=ru
