The Head of State said that he does not deny that society is concerned about the impact of economic reforms on the daily lives of the people. According to the President, as world experience shows, any large-scale reform does not find full understanding from the public at the initial stage. In such a critical moment, the role of a leader who assumes political responsibility is special. The President noted that there is no way for Kazakhstan to abandon reforms. The country must not stand still, but implement systematic changes for sustainable development. This is a difficult and difficult path, but from a strategic point of view it is the only right one. In order not to burden the lives of citizens, the Government temporarily suspended the increase in tariffs during the winter period through administrative means. In addition, special attention was paid to the issue of efficient use of budget funds. The Head of State warned that inappropriate allocation of funds to the economy would increase inflation and stressed the importance of strict budget discipline. Financial resources should be spent only on projects that are necessary and effective for the country. The three-year program, jointly adopted by the Government, the National Bank, and the Agency for Regulation and Development of the Financial Market in November last year, aims to improve the well-being of citizens by reducing inflation. This document is considered a concrete step towards ensuring macroeconomic stability. The Head of State also touched upon the issue of the "middle income trap" raised by international experts. According to him, this is not just a theoretical concept, but a reality that is reflected in the daily lives of many Kazakhstanis. The depreciation of income due to inflation, the increase in mandatory expenses such as mortgages, education, and medicine, weaken the financial stability of citizens. The President recalled that a decision had previously been made to use pension funds for housing, medical treatment, and education. Although this initiative was supported by the people, it was also noted that it paved the way for some fraudulent activities. In particular, there were cases of large-scale embezzlement of funds under the pretext of providing medical services. Law enforcement agencies are currently dealing with this issue. Regarding the business sector, the Head of State noted that entrepreneurs are creating jobs and paying taxes honestly. However, high credit rates and a shortage of working capital prevent them from developing on a large scale, introducing new technologies, and expanding their market reach. The President did not hide that the structure of the economy is gradually changing, although the pace of this process is slow. Although international financial organizations assess Kazakhstan as a prosperous country, social and economic inequalities still persist within the country. The Head of State did not hide these problems, noting that there is a specific plan to systematically address them. In general, during the interview, it became clear that the ultimate goal of economic reforms is to ensure the country's long-term development, curb inflation, and improve the quality of life of the population.

Summing up the past year, the Head of State assessed 2025 as a period of important economic and institutional changes for Kazakhstan. According to the President, large-scale and significant events have taken place in the life of the country in one year. Among them, the economic growth of more than 6 percent was especially noted. The gross domestic product has reached 300 billion US dollars, and the per capita figure has exceeded 15 thousand dollars. This is a record result not only for Kazakhstan, but also for the entire region. The Head of State, while generally positively assessing the work done, stressed that there is no room for complacency. There are still many problems waiting to be solved. The President noted that high inflation reduces the effectiveness of work aimed at improving the well-being of citizens. In this regard, the Government and regional leaders were tasked with conducting systematic and effective work to strengthen the country's socio-economic foundation. In addition, the main result of the past year was noted as Kazakhstan's permanent turn towards the implementation of reforms. The country's modernization process is underway, and a common understanding has emerged in society that radical changes are necessary for a bright future for the younger generation. Touching upon global trends, the Head of State noted that changes in world politics also affect the country's development. It was noted that the work of building a society based on the principles of justice, law and order, and hard work continues in Kazakhstan, and work in this direction will be further intensified in the new year. During the interview, issues related to the new Tax Code were also raised. The President, acknowledging that the tax reform has caused heated debate in society, said that this step is necessary to ensure sustainable economic growth. The main goal of the new Tax Code is to fundamentally reform the tax system, basing it on transparent and understandable principles. The head of state has instructed to lower the upper limit of the value-added tax, and to prioritize partnership over control in the tax system. Mutual responsibility between the state, business, and citizens will become the main principle. The President described tax payment as a modern public contract, noting that it directly affects the development of infrastructure, the creation of a safe environment, and the establishment of social justice. It was also emphasized that the formation of a tax culture is an effective mechanism for combating corruption. In general, the issues raised in the interview indicate that systematic reforms aimed at the long-term development of Kazakhstan continue and that the state's strategic goals are clear.

In an interview with the Turkistan newspaper, Head of State Kassym-Jomart Tokayev discussed the role of the press in society, its educational mission, and its importance in preserving national values. The President first of all focused on the place of the Turkistan newspaper in the country's information space, which has been published regularly for 30 years, and noted the publication as one of the most influential newspapers in Kazakhstan. He also noted that the name of the newspaper contains a deep historical and spiritual meaning, and highly appreciated the fact that the editorial team raises topical issues not only within the country, but also for the entire Turkic people. The Head of State noted this as a good tradition. During the interview, Kassym-Jomart Tokayev said that he reads with interest publications about compatriots working abroad and achieving success in various fields. According to him, supporting citizens who contribute to strengthening cooperation between Kazakhstan and the countries in which they live is an important matter. On this occasion, the President also noted that he had specially awarded three such citizens. The Head of State also touched upon the trends in the current information space. In his opinion, newspapers and magazines are currently at the beginning of a renaissance. He noted that the excessive influence of social networks is negatively affecting people's thinking and cognitive abilities. The President noted that the presence of citizens in society, despite their age, who are shallow-minded and dependent on superficial information, is a clear manifestation of this. Kassym-Jomart Tokayev said that he has been reading periodicals since his youth and has not changed this habit. Noting that today the press has adapted to modern requirements and has found its place in the information sphere, the Head of State emphasized that newspaper reporters prioritize in-depth analysis and comprehensive analysis. He also noted that professional and dedicated journalists are developing high-quality materials and making a significant contribution to preserving traditional values. The President said that he often gets accurate information about the real lives of working people and their contribution to society from newspapers. He added that social networks such as TikTok, Instagram, or Telegram provide superficial information in this regard and do not fully reflect the real lives of working people. At the end of the interview, the Head of State noted that society should not be limited to sensational news and short videos, but also understand the value of deep, thought-provoking information. He especially noted that it is very important for the future of the country for young people to turn to education and science and to put a high value on the culture of reading. The President added that he has no doubt that countries with a developed culture of reading will always be at the forefront of global development.

According to paragraph 1 of Article 103 of the new Tax Code, a VAT payer is deregistered as a VAT payer only in the following cases:transition from the generally established taxation regime to a special tax regime (STR);termination of activity or liquidation.When transitioning from the generally established taxation regime to an STR, the taxpayer simultaneously submits, together with the notification of the applied taxation regime, liquidation VAT tax reporting to the tax authority.It should be noted that the turnover in the form of remaining goods for which VAT was previously credited is considered a taxable turnover upon deregistration for VAT.The turnover in the form of remaining goods is determined based on the book (carrying) value of such goods reflected in accounting records, excluding revaluation and impairment.A tax register for the remaining goods is prepared in accordance with Article 205 of the Tax Code as of the date preceding the date of VAT deregistration.The tax rate applicable is the rate in effect on the date the turnover is carried out.At the same time, pursuant to subparagraph 7) of paragraph 2 of Article 103 of the new Tax Code, deregistration of a VAT payer is carried out from the date of commencement of application of the STR.Thus, for determining the date of VAT deregistration and the tax rate applicable to the turnover in the form of remaining goods, the date of commencement of application of the STR is of key importance.For taxpayers applying the generally established taxation regime, in accordance with subparagraph 4) of paragraph 8 of Article 716 of the new Tax Code, the date of commencement of application of the STR is the date of submission of the notification of the applied taxation regime.For example, if the notification of the applied taxation regime is submitted on January 5, 2026, the date of VAT deregistration will be January 5, 2026, and liquidation tax reporting must be submitted for the first quarter of 2026.Since the existing STRs (except for the STR for peasant and farm enterprises) are terminated from the new year, Article 840 of the new Tax Code provides for transitional provisions for taxpayers that applied STRs before 2026.Thus, taxpayers that applied STRs before January 1, 2026, are entitled to submit a notification of the applied taxation regime by March 1 and transition to the new STR based on a simplified declaration effective from January 1, 2026.In this case, VAT deregistration is carried out from January 1, 2026, and liquidation tax reporting is submitted for the fourth quarter of 2025. The turnover in the form of remaining goods is determined as of December 31, 2025, and a tax rate of 12% is applied.For taxpayers transitioning from the generally established taxation regime to an STR in 2026, the date of the turnover is the day preceding the date of VAT deregistration, and a tax rate of 16% is applied. Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/kgd/press/news/details/1136254?lang=kk
