To apply the exemption, it is not sufficient to comply only with the requirement that employees with disabilities constitute at least 51% of the total staff, and that wage expenses for such employees account for at least 51% of the total payroll fund.It is also necessary to simultaneously meet two additional conditions:the number of employees with disabilities must be at least 10 persons;goods, works, or services must be produced (provided) with their direct participation.Special attention should be paid to the fact that all the above requirements must be met not only in the reporting quarter but also during the four preceding tax periods. Since the VAT tax period is a calendar quarter, the conditions must be fulfilled throughout each month of the relevant quarters.If in any of these periods the number of employees with disabilities was less than 10 persons, the right to VAT exemption does not apply.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/kgd-vko/press/news/details/1250114?lang=ru

The State Revenue Department for Almaty informs that digital technologies are now actively used in various areas of everyday life, including in the provision of public services and in the banking sector. One of the effective tools for protecting personal data and reducing the risks of fraud is biometric identification.As part of the digitalization of tax administration, modern solutions are being introduced to improve the transparency, security, and efficiency of tax processes.Since February 2024, biometric identification has been applied in pilot mode in the “ESF” information system with respect to taxpayers classified as risk-category taxpayers. The pilot project was completed at the end of 2025 and confirmed the effectiveness of this mechanism.In this regard, starting from January 1, 2026, the new Tax Code provides for the possibility of applying biometric identification within the framework of tax administration.The use of biometric identification will help reduce the risks of issuing fictitious electronic invoices by companies whose activities are not actually controlled by their managers. This mechanism will also contribute to reducing shadow turnover, increasing the transparency of tax procedures, and protecting bona fide businesses from interaction with unscrupulous counterparties.The identification procedure is simple and convenient. Company managers can undergo biometric identification through the “ESF” information system from a computer or by using a mobile application. Identification can be completed regardless of the user’s location, including from outside the Republic of Kazakhstan.It is important to note that biometric identification is applied only to taxpayers with risk indicators. For the majority of bona fide companies, the procedure for working with the “ESF” information system remains unchanged.The State Revenue Department for Almaty recommends that taxpayers monitor information in the information systems they use in a timely manner and comply with the requirements of tax legislation.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/kgd-almaty/press/news/details/1249964?lang=ru
