On the reasons for the refusals to switch to the SNR on the basis of a simplified declaration in connection with the changes in the OKED 14.01.2026
Due to the introduction of the new Tax Code and the transition of taxpayers to a special tax regime (SSR) based on a simplified declaration, cases of refusals to accept notifications of the transition to this regime have become more frequent.Refusals are generated by the information system of the State Revenue Committee due to non-compliance of the declared type of economic activity (OKED) with the requirements of the current General Classifier of Economic Activities.The reason for the refusal is the use by taxpayers of the OKED codes, which have been changed or excluded from the classifier.Thus, by orders of the Committee for Technical Regulation and Metrology of the Ministry of Trade and Integration of the Republic of Kazakhstan dated October 16, 2023 No. 393-NK and November 28, 2023 No. 468-NK, amendments No. 2 and No. 3 to the Tax Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan 03-2019 "General Classifier of Economic Activities" were approved, effective April 1, 2024.In particular: - the OKED 86900 code has been abolished and replaced by codes 86901 and 86909; - code 62022 has been excluded from the classifier and other codes have also undergone changes.In this regard, before submitting a notification of the transition to the Tax accounting System, taxpayers must bring registration data in line with the current version of the OKED classifier by submitting the following documents:- individual entrepreneurs – notifications about the start of activities as sole proprietors (regarding changes in registration data);- to legal entities – applications for changes to information through registration authorities or through the Correspondent's Office of the E-Statistics system.After updating the type of economic activity and subject to compliance with all the conditions for the application of the Tax Code on the basis of a simplified declaration, the taxpayer has the right to re-submit a notification on the applicable tax regime.We remind you that the notification of the transition to the simplified declaration regime must be submitted no later than March 1, 2026.If the notification is not provided, the taxpayer will be recognized as applying the generally established taxation procedure from January 1, 2026.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/kgd-pavlodar/press/news/details/1140930?lang=kk

Tokayev Outlines Foreign Policy, Reform Agenda for 2026 14.01.2026
In an interview with the national newspaper Turkistan, Kazakh President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev summed up the results of 2025 for Kazakhstan's foreign policy and outlined priorities for 2026. According to him, in the second half of 2025, Kazakhstan’s foreign policy gained particular momentum, marked by President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev’s intensive schedule of high-level international engagements across Asia, Europe, the Middle East, and the United States. Tokayev said the pace and geography of these contacts reflect Kazakhstan’s growing international standing and demand as a responsible actor in global affairs.“I have no desire whatsoever to act as a mediator in international disputes, nor do I have any aspiration to return to work at the UN, despite approaches from several countries. However, I do take part in closed consultations and discussions, especially since heads of a number of states are interested in my opinion. I do not need media coverage of this important work, I am far from populism. It seems that for participants in behind-the-scenes consultations, this point is also important,” President Tokayev said.Tokayev stressed that Kazakhstan’s geographic position obliges the country to pursue a balanced, independent, and principled foreign policy, including active participation in shaping global discussions.Transit and logistics as a strategic priorityTokayev described transit and logistics as a cornerstone of Kazakhstan’s long-term strategy, emphasizing the country’s unique position at the crossroads of major continental routes.“For our country, strengthening its transit and logistics potential is a task of strategic importance. Despite having no direct access to the sea, Kazakhstan is located at the center of the Eurasian continent at the intersection of most transit corridors. This is a major advantage that we must skillfully use for the benefit of the country,” he said.According to him, Kazakhstan aims to transform itself into a major transport hub of Eurasia, supported by large-scale rail and road infrastructure projects, including new railway lines and the Center–West highway, which will significantly shorten travel distances between regions.Kazakhstan has also developed a transport system that extends beyond its borders, forming a network of cargo terminals stretching from the Yellow Sea to the Black Sea. Tokayev also emphasized that 12 international transport corridors pass through the country, handling the majority of land freight between China and Europe.“Of course, all this does not mean that we can count on easy revenues. Competition in this sector is intensifying, since transport and logistics have become an integral part of geopolitics,” he said.Tokayev highlighted that Kazakhstan remains actively engaged in developing the Belt and Road Initiative, the North–South corridor, and the Trans-Caspian International Transport Route, while welcoming China’s participation in the Middle Corridor.Political continuity and reformsTokayev rejected claims that parliamentary reform is designed to elevate the speaker’s role for personal political purposes, calling such assertions unfounded.“The discussion of all reforms most important for the country is put to a nationwide referendum. There are no hidden meanings here. My position is well known – political reforms will continue. Some long-term plans, as always, will be announced soon,” he said.Looking forward, Tokayev described the coming year as decisive, with major political developments expected to shape Kazakhstan’s trajectory for decades. He confirmed that a constitutional reform referendum has already been announced and that work is underway on extensive amendments on a scale comparable to adopting a new constitution.Reflecting on Kazakhstan’s 35 years of independence, Tokayev said the country has overcome skepticism and external doubts through sustained state-building and reform.“Reality has refuted those forecasts. Kazakhstan has emerged as a successful state with a dynamically developing economy and authoritative international positions. But ahead lies a colossal volume of work that must be carried out by both experienced professionals and young people,” he said.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/mfa-roma/press/news/details/1140700?lang=kk

Manufacturing industry will be the driver of GDP growth in 2026 14.01.2026
The first meeting of the Economic growth headquarters this year was held in the Government under the chairmanship of Deputy Prime Minister - Minister of National Economy Serik Zhumangarin. The main topic of discussion was the tools for maintaining high rates of economic development in 2026.The key focus of 2026 is the development of the manufacturing industry as one of the sources of GDP growth. On behalf of the Deputy Prime Minister, the Ministry of Industry and Construction has developed a roadmap for the development of the manufacturing industry with detailed measures for each sector.Taking into account the systemic role of the industry in the economy, it was decided to consider each sub–sector separately at the meetings of the economic headquarters - with an analysis of weaknesses, limitations and barriers to growth. Industry associations and major market participants will be involved in the work of the economic headquarters to comprehensively discuss the problems and development potential.Metallurgy, which forms about 40% of the manufacturing industry, remains under special attention. In 2026, the physical volume index in metallurgy is projected at 103% due to the development of both non-ferrous and ferrous metallurgy. A significant share of metallurgy remains in the structure of trade – about 5%, which provides an additional contribution to the growth of trade turnover by increasing physical production volumes.Steady growth is expected in the mechanical engineering industry – 13.4% in 2026. It will be provided, in particular, by an increase in the production of passenger cars, trucks and special equipment, self-propelled agricultural machinery, gondola trucks, railway platforms and household appliances. The chemical industry is expected to grow by 7% due to the implementation of existing and new investment projects.In the production of building materials, growth of 6% is planned to be achieved by increasing the production of Portland cement, ceramic slabs, reinforced concrete products and ready-mixed concrete. By the end of 2025, the construction industry reached record levels – 20.1 million m2 of housing were commissioned. The Deputy Prime Minister set the task for the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the regions to maintain the set pace in 2026.In trade, the goal for the current year is to ensure an increase in physical volume of at least +6.5%. To achieve this goal, the focus is shifting to the structural factors of expanding turnover and exports. This is an increase in wholesale supplies of agricultural products to foreign markets, including grain, and an increase in the production of food and non-food products within the country. The key driver of IFO growth in trade will be the development of an organized wholesale link. Since this year, wholesale B2B electronic trading platforms have been fully launched, providing direct supplies between manufacturers and domestic trade entities. Sales markets for domestic goods are expanding. This year, wholesale procurement standards will be introduced, aimed at increasing pricing transparency, reducing excessive intermediaries and creating predictable business conditions.An additional incentive for domestic producers was the updated rules of domestic trade, which provide for the mandatory allocation of at least 30% of the retail space for Kazakhstani products. Licensing and streamlining of markets as a key source of shadow trade, digitalization and traceability of supply chains will also make a significant contribution.High growth rates will continue in the field of transport and warehousing. Growth of 6.1% is forecast in the first quarter, while a comparable contribution will be provided by freight transportation – 305.3 million tons (+13.3%) and passenger transportation – 496.6 million people (+12.2%). By the end of the year, growth in the industry is projected at +9.6%. The achievement of the indicators is planned due to the repair of 11 thousand. km of highways, the completion of the construction of the Kyzylzhar–Moynty and Darbaza–Maktaaral railway lines, the commissioning of Zaisan, Katon-Karagai and Kenderli airports, the modernization of railway and airport terminals, as well as the renovation of the transport fleet.Following the meeting, Serik Zhumangarin instructed the regions not to slow down the growth rates in key sectors of the economy in the context of tight budget consolidation. It was also emphasized that in the context of the announced Year of Digitalization and Artificial Intelligence, special attention will be paid to the economic development of the relevant sector of the economy.https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/economy/press/news/details/1140686?lang=ruSource : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/kostanai-ekonomika-zhosparlau/press/news/details/1141112?lang=kk
