По итогам первого квартала 2026 года фиксируется одновременное укрепление доходной части бюджета и замедление инфляционных процессов. Это во многом связано с тем, что  краткосрочный всплеск  цен, вызванный изменением ставки НДС, был абсорбирован экономикой в конце 2025 года – январе-феврале 2026-го и в настоящее время уже не оказывает влияния на инфляцию.По оперативным данным, исполнение по доходам государственного бюджета за 1 квартал 2026 года (без учета трансфертов) составило 104,4%. При плане 6 176,2 млрд тенге в бюджет поступило 6 444,9 млрд тенге, перевыполнение – 268,7 млрд тенге.По сравнению с аналогичным периодом 2025 года доходы госбюджета увеличились на 930,6 млрд тенге, или на 16,9%. Превышение планов по доходам зафиксировано как в республиканском, так и местных бюджетах. Стоит отметить, что доходы республиканского бюджета по налоговым поступлениям на 2026 год планируются в сумме 18,886 трлн тенге, что на 4,4 трлн тенге выше фактических поступлений за 2025 год.В частности, доходы республиканского бюджета исполнены на 101,8%: при плане 4 085,6 млрд тенге поступило 4 159,4 млрд тенге. Рост к прошлому году составил 26,1% (+861,8 млрд тенге). Во многом это обусловлено увеличением цен на мировых рынках  на основные экспортные товары Казахстана, ростом объемов реализации товаров и услуг, зафиксированных в системе ЭСФ за 4 квартал 2025 г., а также результатами налогового и таможенного администрирования.Налоговые поступления, формирующие основную часть доходов республиканского бюджета (98%), исполнены на 101,6%: при плане 4 012,8 млрд тенге поступило 4 077,6 млрд тенге. Рост к аналогичному периоду прошлого года составил 31,5%. При этом следует учитывать, что на январь-март 2026г. пришелся срок уплаты НДС за IV квартал 2025 года (до 25 февраля 2026 г). И, соответственно, налоговые обязательства по НДС произведены по ставке 12%.Рост обеспечен по сравнению с аналогичным периодом прошлого года по таким крупным налогам, как КПН (+16,9%), НДС на импортируемые товары (исчислен по ставке 16%) (+24,2%), налог на добычу полезных ископаемых (+35,7%).Доходы местных бюджетов исполнены на 109,3%: при плане 2 090,6 млрд тенге поступило 2 285,5 млрд тенге. Рост к прошлому году составил 3,1% (+68,8 млрд тенге).С начала года в специальном налоговом режиме для самозанятых зарегистрировано 392 тыс. физических лиц. Количество плательщиков НДС увеличилось на 10 тыс. субъектов.По итогам первого квартала сохраняется устойчивый тренд на снижение инфляции. Темп инфляции в марте замедлился до 0,6% по сравнению с 1,0–1,1% в январе–феврале. Снижение наблюдается шестой месяц подряд: после пикового значения в сентябре 2025 года (12,9%) инфляция перешла к постепенному замедлению и по итогам марта 2026 года составила 11,0%. По прогнозам МНЭ, сохраняется высокая вероятность выхода на однозначный уровень инфляции к началу 2027 года.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/economy/press/news/details/1195944?lang=kk
