A resident of the Abai region was involved in community service for harassment of his ex-wife 05.07.2026
A 53-year-old man was involved in community service for illegal actions against his ex-wife. Despite the fact that the couple have been divorced for more than five years, the man continued to systematically violate the woman's peace. Ignoring her repeated warnings, he came to her house intoxicated, and also called regularly, thereby limiting her right to personal space and free disposal of her time. The court found the man guilty and sentenced him to 100 hours of community service. To serve his sentence, the convict was registered with the probation service of the Zharminsky district of the Abai region. Preventive, educational and explanatory work has been carried out with him, aimed at the formation of law-abiding behavior and the prevention of repeated offenses. Currently, he is employed as a territory improvement worker in the rural akimat. To date, he has already worked more than ten hours. - I fully realized my mistake. I understand that my actions have caused my ex-wife anxiety and disturbed her peace of mind. At that time, I thought that by my actions I could win her back, she would believe in my feelings and come back to me. We have three minor children, and I have to think first of all about them, be an example for them. Now I'm reviewing my behavior, trying to change my attitude to life, and giving up bad habits. I intend to work out the appointed hours in good faith, draw conclusions and never allow such actions again," the convict shared. - The main task of the probation service is not only to monitor the execution of sentences, but also to assist convicts in their social adaptation. During the work with this citizen, special attention is paid to the prevention of repeated offenses and the formation of respect for the rights of others," said Balym Zarykkanova, Senior inspector of the Zharminsky district Probation service.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/duisabai/press/news/details/1244209?lang=ru
Mobile Transfers and Tax Control: What Taxpayers Need to Know 05.07.2026
In general, mobile transfers between individuals are not subject to taxation.Only income derived from entrepreneurial activity is subject to taxation.Transfers received from relatives, gifts, financial assistance, or collections for personal needs are not considered income and are therefore not subject to taxation or declaration.At the same time, if funds are received on a regular basis as payment for goods, works, or services, such transactions may be recognized as entrepreneurial activity.In such cases, the activity must be conducted in accordance with the established legal requirements — by registering as an individual entrepreneur, using a separate business bank account, and applying a cash register or a mobile application for payment registration.Second-tier banks provide information on mobile transfers only when the established criteria are simultaneously met: the receipt of 100 or more transfers from different individuals to the account of a natural person over three consecutive months, and a total amount exceeding 12 times the minimum wage (MW), which is KZT 1,020,000.Information provided by second-tier banks is used by the tax authorities for desk audits aimed at monitoring taxpayers' compliance with their tax obligations.If discrepancies are identified as a result of desk monitoring, a notification is issued, which must be complied with within 30 working days.A response to the notification may be submitted remotely through the taxpayer’s personal account without the need to visit the state revenue authorities in person.Carrying out entrepreneurial activity without state registration entails administrative liability in accordance with the legislation of the Republic of Kazakhstan.The State Revenue Department for Almaty urges taxpayers to conduct entrepreneurial activities in compliance with tax legislation.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/kgd-almaty/press/news/details/1244191?lang=ru

Central Asia: From Transit Corridor to Investment Destination 05.07.2026
Central Asia: from transit corridor to investment destinationThe New Geography of Capital: Why Kazakhstan MattersBy Renat Bekturov, Governor of the Astana International Financial CentreAt a time of heightened geopolitical complexity, ongoing conflicts, disruptions in global supply chains, economic transformation, and rapid technological change, Central Asia is gaining renewed strategic importance. For decades, the region has been viewed primarily through the prism of geography, natural resources, and geopolitics. Positioned between China, Russia, Europe, and the Middle East, it has long played an important role in global trade, logistics, and energy security.Yet in today’s economy, geography alone is no longer enough to attract sustainable investment. Capital no longer flows simply toward resources or transit routes. It flows toward jurisdictions that offer trust, transparency, legal certainty, market access, and the institutional capacity to manage risk.This shift is already visible in the growing partnership between Kazakhstan and the European Union – one of the clearest signals of Central Asia’s rising global relevance.European Partnership as a Strategic AnchorKazakhstan is the European Union’s largest partner in Central Asia, accounting for more than 80% of the EU’s trade with the region, while the EU remains Kazakhstan’s leading trade and investment partner globally.The EU represents almost 40 % of Kazakhstan’s total trade, and in 2025, bilateral trade reached USD 45.1 billion, with exports totaling USD 34.7 billion and imports USD 10.4 billion. These flows are largely driven by energy exports and imports of machinery and equipment.Today, more than 4,000 European-linked companies operate in Kazakhstan across sectors such as energy, manufacturing, finance, logistics, and digitalization, including global leaders such as TotalEnergies, Siemens, Airbus, and Schneider Electric. Since 2005, cumulative European investment has exceeded USD 200 billion.The depth of this partnership is also reflected in engagement with leading European financial centres. Cooperation between Kazakhstan and Luxembourg spans green technologies, digitalisation, renewable energy, pharmaceuticals, and agriculture. During 2005 - 2025, investment from Luxembourg reached USD 3.8 billion, with 192 enterprises operating in Kazakhstan.This growing engagement highlights a broader shift: European capital is increasingly aligning with Central Asia’s long-term development priorities.A New Financial Architecture for Central AsiaThis is precisely why a new financial architecture is emerging across the region - and why the Astana International Financial Centre (AIFC) is playing a central role in shaping it.Established in 2018, the AIFC was created as an independent jurisdiction designed to connect international capital with the rapidly evolving opportunities of Kazakhstan and the wider Central Asian region. Built on the principles of English common law, it provides institutional predictability in an emerging market environment.Today, more than 5,600 companies from 90 countries operate under the AIFC jurisdiction, including over 730 companies from Europe. Total investments facilitated through the centre have exceeded USD 21.8 billion, while more than 10,000 jobs have been created across its ecosystem.These numbers reflect not only growth, but confidence.Building Trust Through InstitutionsIn global finance, capital follows trust. Trust is built through predictable regulation, independent courts, enforceable contracts, and transparent governance.The AIFC remains the only jurisdiction in Central Asia operating under English common law principles, supported by the Astana Financial Services Authority, the AIFC Court, and the International Arbitration Centre.This institutional foundation has allowed Astana to rank as the leading financial centre in Eastern Europe and Central Asia for three consecutive years in the Global Financial Centres Index, while aligning with international AML/CFT and OECD transparency standards. For investors, these are not technicalities - they are prerequisites.Connecting Regional Opportunities with Global MarketsA financial centre is only as strong as its market infrastructure. At the core of the AIFC ecosystem is the Astana International Exchange (AIX), operating on Nasdaq technology and integrated with global settlement systems such as Euroclear.This infrastructure is enabling new forms of cross-border capital formation. Recent milestones include the region’s first yuan-denominated IPO via a dual listing with the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, Kazakhstan’s first spot Bitcoin ETF, and the world’s first spot Solana ETF with staking functionality.These developments reflect a broader transformation: emerging markets are becoming digitally integrated, multi-currency, and globally connected.Financing the Green TransitionThe next decade will be defined not only by growth, but by sustainability. Across Central Asia, energy transition, infrastructure modernization, and climate adaptation are driving demand for green capital.Through the AIFC Green Finance Centre, Kazakhstan introduced the region’s first national Green Taxonomy. Approximately 70% of all green bonds and loans in Kazakhstan have been verified within the AIFC ecosystem.The AIFC has also launched a regional Carbon Platform, providing access to international environmental instruments such as I-REC certificates and carbon credits.Regulating Digital FinanceAt the same time, digital assets are reshaping global finance.The AIFC became the first jurisdiction in the region to introduce a comprehensive regulatory framework for digital asset service providers. In 2025, it was recognized globally for aligning its regulatory approach with IOSCO principles.Beyond Traditional FinanceModern financial centres must go beyond traditional markets. The AIFC is expanding into strategic sectors that define future growth.In mining, the AIFC launched Central Asia’s first Junior Mining Platform, aimed at attracting investment into geological exploration, particularly relevant given that over 65% of Kazakhstan’s territory remains underexplored.In aviation, the AIFC Aviation Hub facilitates aircraft leasing and structured financing transactions, supporting regional connectivity.In Islamic finance, the AIFC has established the region’s only full ecosystem operating under Shariah principles.In the creative economy, we are developing legal and financial infrastructure for intellectual property protection, venture financing, crowdfunding, and asset tokenisation.These sectors differ - but share one requirement: access to trusted capital.Bridging Europe, Central Asia and KazakhstanThe AIFC will continue serving as the institutional bridge between European capital and Central Asian opportunity. Offering over 220 business and professional services, it provides a trusted environment for long-term partnerships.In the decade ahead, we see growing collaboration in critical minerals, clean energy, digital infrastructure, and logistics - areas where European expertise aligns closely with Kazakhstan’s development priorities.Each successful project strengthens not only commercial ties, but also institutional trust and regional stability.Central Asia: From Transit Corridor to Investment DestinationSource : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/mfa-brussels/press/news/details/1243988?lang=ru
Пирамида заменит НДС на вычет по сельхозпродукции 05.07.2026
На заседании Проектного офиса внедрения нового Налогового кодекса под председательством заместителя Премьер-министра – министра национальной экономики Серика Жумангарина рассмотрена одна из наиболее обсуждаемых норм нового Налогового кодекса – порядок применения льготы по НДС в отношении сельскохозяйственной продукции, продукции рыбоводства и промыслового рыболовства, использованных в целях облагаемого оборота по нулевой ставке.Речь идет о норме статьи 484 Налогового кодекса, предусматривающей уменьшение на 80% суммы НДС, относимого в зачет по такой продукции при экспорте. В ходе обсуждения с отраслевыми ассоциациями, сельхозтоваропроизводителями и экспортерами было отмечено, что сохранение возможности полного возмещения НДС по экспортным поставкам станет дополнительной мерой поддержки отечественных аграриев и позволит сохранить конкурентоспособность казахстанской продукции на внешних рынках.По итогам заседания Проектного офиса принято решение, что для экспортеров сельхозпродукции не будет применяться корректировка суммы НДС, относимого в зачет. То есть данная норма статьи 484 Налогового кодекса будет отменена. Обоснованность требований на возврат НДС будет подтверждаться налоговой проверкой с применением так называемого «методапирамиды», который позволяет проследить всю цепочку движения товара и уплаты налога – от сельхозпроизводителя до экспортера. При положительных результатах такой проверки экспортер сможет получить возврат ранее уплаченного НДС в полном объеме.Данное предложение будет включено в общий пакет поправок в Налоговый кодекс и внесено на рассмотрение Курултая. В случае его принятия соответствующие изменения будут применяться ретроспективно, с даты введения в действие нового Налогового кодекса.При введении нормы по корректировке зачетного НДС одновременно была расширена льгота для сельхозтоваропроизводителей: размер уменьшения суммы НДС, подлежащей уплате в бюджет, был увеличен с 70% до 80%. Поскольку принято решение сохранить ранее действовавший механизм возврата экспортного НДС, предлагается восстановить и прежний размер льготы – 70%.Параллельно Комитет госдоходов совместно с Нацбанком прорабатывает механизм использования цифрового тенге при возврате НДС. Завершить работу по его внедрению планируется уже в этом году. Данный инструмент ориентирован прежде всего на экспортеров и позволит существенно сократить сроки возврата НДС. При этом его применение носит исключительно добровольный характер: бизнес сможет выбирать между действующим порядком возврата НДС и механизмом использования цифрового тенге. Как отметил Серик Жумангарин, при принятии решения были учтены предложения отраслевых ассоциаций, сельхозтоваропроизводителей и экспортеров. Выбранный подход позволит сохранить действующие меры поддержки аграрного сектора, обеспечить стабильные и предсказуемые условия работы для экспортеров, а также поддержать конкурентоспособность казахстанской сельскохозяйственной продукции на внешних рынках.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/economy/press/news/details/1243989?lang=ru
An exemplary father received the keys to a new three-room apartment 05.07.2026
Today, with the participation of akim of the region Murat Ergeshbayev, the regional fathers' forum "Ake tarbiesi – ulttyn rukhani dingegi" was held. It was attended by Deputy chairman of the republican public association "Akeler Odagi" Bekdayyr Kuzembai, deputies of the maslikhat, representatives of the intelligentsia, citizens from the districts who have achieved success in various fields, who are a role model for their profession and work. This year, the Fathers' Forum is being held for the fourth time. It is an important platform aimed at popularizing national values and raising the status of men in the family and society. "Our President Kassym-Jomart Kemelevich said: "Fatherly responsibility is the foundation of a strong family and the upbringing of generations. Increasing the role of the father in our society and strengthening his authority in the family is a very important task." The quality of the nation and the civic nature of the future generation directly depend on the upbringing given by the father. The new Constitution clearly states that "marriage and family, motherhood, fatherhood and childhood are protected by the State." This clearly demonstrates that family values have become the basis of government policy. Father is the first school that educates not only a family, but also a child to responsibility, hard work and love for the Motherland. The most powerful force influencing a child's future is upbringing in a family, the example of a father. Therefore, the approval in society of such state initiatives as "Adal Adam", "Zan men tartip", "Taza Kazakhstan" should begin, first of all, with the family.
