Innovations in Tax Administration 13.07.2026
As of January 1, 2026, major changes to tax administration have come into force. The main objectives are to digitalize tax control, reduce the administrative burden on compliant businesses, and strengthen measures against tax evasion.The new Tax Code provides for a significant simplification of tax administration. The volume of tax reporting has been reduced by 30%, tax incentives have been optimized, and the procedures for collecting tax debts, as well as granting tax deferrals and installment plans, have been simplified.Tax administration now also includes control over the issuance of Electronic Invoices (E-Invoices).Control over the issuance of Electronic Invoices is carried out in the following forms:1) Automated control of Electronic Invoice issuance;2) Comparative control of Electronic Invoice issuance.An automated Electronic Invoice control system has been introduced. It operates through the special information service "e-Tamga" by calculating the taxpayer's current VAT balance.If an Electronic Invoice is not supported by legitimate VAT-related expenses (such as purchases from suppliers, imported goods, or services provided by non-residents), the system will allow the invoice to be issued only after the VAT balance has been replenished, that is, after the VAT has been paid.The approaches to the risk management system have also been revised. The classification of taxpayers according to risk levels has been abolished.The distinction between scheduled and unscheduled tax audits has been eliminated. Tax audits are now initiated based on the taxpayer's tax burden coefficient.The methods of securing tax obligations have been expanded. In addition to penalties, suspension of bank account debit transactions, and restrictions on the disposal of property, new enforcement measures include:suspension of the issuance of Electronic Invoices;restriction of access to the online platform of a foreign company.Desk (cameral) tax control is preventive in nature. If a taxpayer fails to comply with a notification by not providing the required explanation within the established deadline, the tax authorities may suspend debit transactions on the taxpayer's bank accounts and suspend the issuance of Electronic Invoices.The State Revenue Authorities have established mobile service groups to provide public services, information, and advisory support to certain categories of taxpayers in fulfilling their tax obligations.Requests for a visit by a Service Group can be submitted through the State Revenue Authorities Contact Center by calling 1414.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/kgd-vko/press/news/details/1251653?lang=ru

Results of the Work Carried Out in 2025 on the Administration of the Mineral Extraction Tax 13.07.2026
One of the key areas of activity of the State Revenue Authorities of the East Kazakhstan Region is ensuring control over the timely and complete fulfillment of taxpayers' obligations related to the calculation and payment of special payments and taxes by subsoil users.The Mineral Extraction Tax (MET) is one of the principal taxes contributed by subsoil users of the East Kazakhstan Region to the Republican Budget of the Republic of Kazakhstan.The administration of the Mineral Extraction Tax is carried out through desk audits of Tax Reporting Form 590.00, "Mineral Extraction Tax Declaration" (hereinafter referred to as the MET Declaration), including the use of information obtained from authorized government agencies.Desk audits of the MET Declaration are conducted in the following areas:-verification of the completeness of reported mineral extraction volumes in the MET Declaration by comparing them with information provided by authorized government agencies;-verification of the correct application of MET rates in the calculation of the tax reported in the MET Declaration;-verification of the timely submission of the MET Declaration where mineral extraction volumes have been identified based on information from authorized government agencies;-verification of the completeness of reported mineral extraction volumes by comparing extraction volumes declared in the MET Declaration with mineral sales volumes reflected in the MET Declaration and Electronic Invoices (E-Invoices), as well as through other control measures.As a result of the work carried out during 2025 to eliminate violations identified in the above areas, additional Mineral Extraction Tax assessments exceeding KZT 55.0 million were made. The assessed amounts have been paid to the budget in full.At the same time, the analysis covers the entire statutory limitation period of five years, in accordance with Article 45 of the Tax Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan.It should be noted that the identified violations result in an additional financial burden on taxpayers due to the accrual of late payment interest (penalties), which adversely affects the financial and economic activities of business entities. To prevent such violations, taxpayers are advised to comply with the requirements of the tax legislation governing the calculation and payment of the Mineral Extraction Tax.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/kgd-vko/press/news/details/1251609?lang=ru
