If the TNF is represented in the old KNP, then the application for withdrawal must be submitted to the old KNP)Also, given that the norm regarding the possibility of revocation of TNF is excluded in accordance with the new Tax Code, this functionality should be used only for the purpose of timely selection of the tax regime, as well as termination of activity by an individual entrepreneur.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/kgd-almaty/press/news/details/1142534?lang=kk
