Investment cooperation issues were discussed 16.07.2026
Today, Akim of the region Murat Ergeshbayev met with the Consul General of Hungary in the Republic of Kazakhstan, Szoke Szabolcs. The meeting discussed issues of further development of trade, economic, and investment cooperation.The Akim of the region noted that Kazakhstan and Hungary are united by historical and cultural ties and partnership relations based on mutual trust, and that regular meetings of the heads of state have given impetus to strengthening bilateral cooperation.–I thank you for the interest shown in our region. We are connected not only by official documents but also by common historical and cultural roots and traditions.Important steps are also being taken in the direction of investment cooperation. The company «UBM Group» is actively working in a number of regions of the country. The company is moving to the second stage of the project and plans to build two more feed mills. Since the issue of locating these two plants is currently being discussed, we propose building one of them in the Kyzylorda region. Because agriculture is the basis of the regional economy, – said the head of the region.It should be noted that more than 90 percent of rice and table salt production in the republic falls to the share of the Kyzylorda region. In recent years, livestock and poultry farming, as well as milk production, have been intensively developing, and the demand for compound feed has been steadily growing.Today, a large-scale project is being implemented with the participation of the company «Harvest Agro». This will allow producing 150 thousand tons of corn and 40 thousand tons of soybeans per year and will contribute to reducing the cost of compound feed production.More than 1.3 million head of livestock are registered in the region. And considering the potential of the neighboring Turkestan, Aktobe, and Ulytau regions, it exceeds 12 million.The geographically advantageous location of the region, developed transport and logistics infrastructure, the presence of a special economic zone and six industrial zones with established engineering infrastructure allow for the effective implementation of investment projects.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/kyzylorda/press/news/details/1258359?lang=ru

«О государственной службе Республики Казахстан» 16.07.2026
Государственные услуги, отказ которых не допускается по формальным основаниям: Казахстан совершенствует законодательство19 мая 2026 года главой государства подписаны законы «О государственной службе Республики Казахстан» и «о внесении изменений и дополнений в некоторые законодательные акты Республики Казахстан по вопросам государственной службы».Одним из основных направлений реформы стало совершенствование системы оказания государственных услуг и переход на сервисную модель взаимодействия государства и граждан. Впервые на законодательном уровне утверждена клиентоориентированная модель поведения государственных служащих, основанная на принципе «человек не для государства, государство для человека».Законом введен принцип недопущения отказа в предоставлении государственной услуги по формальным основаниям. Если в заявлении имеются ошибки или не представлен полный пакет документов, услугополучателю вместо отказа в оказании государственной услуги предоставляется разумный срок для устранения выявленных недостатков.Кроме того, расширена сфера понятия получатель услуги. Теперь защита прав распространяется не только на обратившихся граждан, но и на лиц, желающих получить государственную услугу. Для таких случаев вводится «цифровой лист ожидания», позволяющий сохранить право на получение государственной услуги без пересдачи заявления при возникновении технических неполадок.Еще одно нововведение-введение понятия "со-поставщик услуг". Это позволит определить ответственность всех субъектов, участвующих в процессе оказания государственной услуги, и обеспечить контроль за соблюдением сроков, установленных на каждом этапе.Кроме того, законодательством установлена обязанность государственных органов в случае отказа в оказании государственной услуги одновременно оказывать все основания отказа, а также утверждать правила их оказания не позднее трех месяцев со дня введения новых государственных услуг.Новые законодательные нормы направлены на повышение качества и доступности государственных услуг, снижение административных барьеров и усиление защиты прав получателей услуг.Большая часть изменений вступит в силу с июля 2026 года.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/kostanay-fedorov/press/news/details/1257922?lang=ru
Advanced government services without formal refusals: Kazakhstan improves legislation 16.07.2026
On May 19, 2026, the Head of State signed the laws "On the Civil Service of the Republic of Kazakhstan" and "On Amendments and Supplements to Certain Legislative Acts of the Republic of Kazakhstan on Civil Service Issues."One of the key areas of the reform was improving the system of public service delivery and transitioning to a service-based model of government interaction with citizens. For the first time, a model of customer-oriented behavior for civil servants was enshrined at the legislative level, based on the principle: "Not the individual for the state, but the state for the individual."The law introduced the principle of not allowing refusal of public services on formal grounds. If an application contains errors or an incomplete set of documents is submitted, the service recipient will be given a reasonable time to correct them instead of being denied.The definition of service recipient has also been expanded. Now, protection of rights extends not only to citizens who have submitted an application but also to individuals intending to receive the public service. For such cases, a "Digital Waiting List" has been introduced, which will allow the right to receive the service to be maintained in the event of technical failures without resubmitting the application.Another innovation is the introduction of the concept of "joint service provider." This will establish the responsibility of all participants in the public service delivery process and ensure compliance with deadlines at every stage.Furthermore, the law requires government agencies to state all reasons for refusal simultaneously when refusing to provide a service, and to approve rules for the provision of new public services no later than three months after their introduction.The new legislative provisions are aimed at improving the quality and accessibility of public services, reducing administrative barriers, and protecting the rights of service recipients. Most of the changes will come into force as early as July 2026.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/kostanai-mendykarin-audany-akimat/press/news/details/1257925?lang=ru

Do I need to pay tax when selling an apartment in Kazakhstan 16.07.2026
Question: Do I have to pay tax when selling an apartment in Kazakhstan?Answer: The Department of State Revenue for the Mangystau region informs that when selling an apartment, the obligation to pay individual income tax (IIT) arises in the case of income from the increase in value.The tax is calculated not from the total amount of the sale, but from the positive difference between the purchase price and the sale price of the object.For real estate purchased before January 1, 2026, tax exemption is applied for a period of ownership of more than one year.For properties acquired from January 1, 2026, the minimum ownership period for tax exemption is more than two years.If the specified period of ownership is met, the tax on the sale of the apartment does not arise (in the absence of other grounds provided for by law).(Unofficial translation)Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/kgd-mangistau/press/news/details/1262259?lang=ru
The average area of forest fires in the region decreased by 2.5 times 16.07.2026
A meeting of the regional akimat on the issue of fire danger in forest areas was held under the chairmanship of Kostanay Region Akim Kumar Aksakalov.The Head of State has identified the expansion of forest areas and their protection as one of the national priorities.The staffing of the forest guard has been strengthened in the region. While three years ago 825 people worked in forestry institutions, today their number has increased to 1,242 people.«Over the past three years, about 8 billion tenge has been allocated to strengthen the material and technical base of forestry institutions. With these funds, 51 fire trucks, 86 tractors, 36 forest fire complexes, and 78 patrol units of equipment were purchased. As a result, the level of equipment provision for forestry institutions has reached 90%. At the same time, they are 100% provided with fire trucks», – noted the regional akim.In 2025, a 35-meter-high fire observation tower was built in the Auliekol district for the first time in the last 30 years. It is planned to install another 20 towers over the next three years. By the end of 2028, the region's forest areas will be fully equipped with surveillance systems.Today, monitoring of forest territories is carried out using 40 video surveillance cameras, which cover 70% of the forested area. For comparison, only 8 cameras were operational in 2022.Thanks to the measures taken, the average area of a single forest fire has decreased by 2.5 times – from 11.4 hectares to 4.6 hectares in 2025. In the current year, this indicator stands at 1.5 hectares.The reduction in the area of forest fires has also made it possible to significantly decrease the average material damage from a single fire. Compared to last year, this indicator has decreased by more than 11 times – from 849.1 thousand tenge to 73.2 thousand tenge.According to the resolution of the regional akimat, when the 4th or 5th class of fire danger is declared, restrictions on the presence of citizens in forests are introduced, the entry of agricultural and freight vehicles is prohibited, as well as the conduct of certain types of work that may increase the risk of fires.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/kostanay/press/news/details/1257893?lang=ru
