In the Akmola region, during regular inspections of the food market, instances of exceeding the permissible markup on socially important products were discovered. The inspections were carried out by the Department of Trade and Consumer Protection of the Ministry of Trade and Industry of the Republic of Kazakhstan for the Akmola region.For example, individual entrepreneur Yuldashev sold carrots with a 33.3% markup, significantly exceeding the legally permitted level. Similar violations were found at individual entrepreneur Gulyaeva T.M. at the Khutorok store for selling buckwheat with a 27% markup, at individual entrepreneur Zhanalinova at the Produkty store for selling cabbage with a 72.7% markup, and at individual entrepreneur Mirmakhmud for selling onions with a 60% markup.In each of these cases, the entrepreneurs were held administratively liable under Article 204-4 of the Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan on Administrative Offenses, with fines imposed. These measures are aimed at preventing unfair practices, ensuring trade transparency, and protecting the interests of citizens.Furthermore, in the Shortandy District, a case was discovered where prices were listed in foreign currency—products in the store were listed in rubles, which violates the law requiring prices to be listed exclusively in tenge. The entrepreneur was also fined for this violation.During the 2025 period analyzed, 216 entrepreneurs were held administratively liable in the Akmola Region, 99 of whom received warnings and 117 were fined a total of over 2.2 million tenge. The violations identified included exceeding the trade markup at the SZPT, selling goods in foreign currency, the absence of a consumer corner, and failure to respond to consumer complaints within the prescribed timeframe."We also conducted 21 purchases of products of questionable origin, and found labeling violations in 17 cases. Entrepreneurs received fines totaling over 1 million tenge. Our work continues, monitoring retail outlets throughout the region and preventing unfair practices," noted Yerlan Aubakirov, Head of the Department of Trade and Consumer Protection for the Akmola Region.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/mti/press/news/details/1121790?lang=kk

The Akmola Region continues to demonstrate the effectiveness of its consumer protection agencies. In 2025, the Department of Trade and Consumer Protection of the Akmola Region reviewed 983 citizen complaints, over 80% of which were satisfied, and refunds exceeded 82 million tenge.The department's specialists actively resolve disputes out of court, allowing citizens to promptly protect their rights and receive refunds. For example, a resident of the region was able to get 8.1 million tenge back for a used car thanks to a complaint prepared by the Department against the dealership. In another case, a buyer refused a new car due to discovered damage, after which the seller returned 28.3 million tenge.Disputes over household goods and electronics also involve the Department's intervention. A resident of the region experienced delays and defects in delivery of furniture worth 1,000,200 tenge under a contract. Specialists provided explanatory information, and the entrepreneur rectified the violations.A 70-year-old resident of the region received a refund of 34,840 tenge for a phone purchased on Wildberries. He ordered a phone advertised as a Redmi 14 for his daughter, but the product he received was not what he expected. The phone failed IMEI verification, making it unusable in Kazakhstan. Attempts to return the money directly to the seller were unsuccessful, and only a timely appeal to the Department yielded results.In another case, a consumer who was wronged when booking a resort where a deposit refund was denied was able to reach a settlement with the Department's assistance: the money was returned and an additional day of stay was provided at a discount. A resident of Kokshetau received a refund of 22,500 tenge for a poorly repaired phone, the defect of which appeared during the warranty period.The Department's effectiveness is also confirmed by judicial practice: during the first 11 months of 2025, the agency participated in 15 court cases as a third party, which allowed it to recover more than 9.9 million tenge in favor of individuals.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/mti/press/news/details/1121799?lang=kk

The number of pedigree service dogs in the National Guard is steadily increasing. This year alone, the canine center of military unit 6654 of the National Guard of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Kazakhstan welcomed 42 pedigree puppies, including Belgian, Dutch, and German Shepherds. In the future, they will be trained for combat and guard duties, helping to ensure public safety and security.Since the beginning of the year, 12 pedigree puppies have already been distributed to reinforce other military units. Currently, the canine center houses around 30 young dogs.“During the first 45 days, the puppies are fed with their mother’s milk, after which they are gradually transitioned to dry food. Then the adaptation stage begins. At three months, they are introduced to the obstacle course. At this age, it is important to develop auditory skills, so each puppy is given a name. Later, they are taught basic commands such as sit, stand, and lie down. After that, the tasks become more complex as we move on to scent detection training,” said Major Zhantore Mendiorazov, head of the canine center.Today, around one thousand service dogs serve in the ranks of the National Guard. In just the first 10 months of this year, they helped detect more than 120 offenses. The new generation of puppies being raised at the canine center will continue this vital mission.It should be noted that the care and training of puppies are carried out in accordance with an order issued by the Ministry of Internal Affairs regulating breeding procedures in the National Guard. Press Service of the National GuardMinistry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of KazakhstanSource : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/kvv/press/news/details/1121590?lang=kk

The mobile application “Tärbıeshi PRO”, developed specifically for military instructors, is currently undergoing testing at military unit 5513 of the “Ońtústik” Regional Command of the National Guard of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Kazakhstan. The digital product is designed to significantly save time and resources, as well as ensure a systematic approach to the implementation of the directives of the Commander-in-Chief of the National Guard, Major General Ansagan Baltabekov, regarding the development and integration of digital technologies into the operational and service activities of the troops.To facilitate the practical introduction of this innovation, deputy company commanders for educational and socio-legal work were ceremonially presented with tablets. These servicemembers traditionally spend a considerable amount of time preparing lesson plans, outlines, and searching for materials necessary for conducting classes.The mobile application streamlines educational and instructional processes by providing fast and convenient access to all materials in a unified digital format. All content is presented in a standardized form prepared by subject-matter specialists, ensuring high quality and consistent approaches to the training of conscripted servicemembers. Additionally, the application reduces paper workload by nearly 70 percent.Deputy commanders responsible for educational and socio-legal support have already begun actively using the innovation during state and legal training sessions with various categories of servicemembers — officers, contract personnel, and conscripts.For other categories of guardsmen, the application offers the ability to study and take notes on state and legal training topics outside of duty hours, receive prompt legal consultations online, and independently familiarize themselves with regulatory documents governing service in the National Guard.The user-friendly bilingual interface is adapted for both tablets and smartphones. Built-in notification functions, as well as the ability to display notes, slides, and video materials on portable projectors and Smart TVs, make the learning process more visual and modern.It is worth noting that the “Tärbıeshi PRO” mobile application represents a major step toward the formation of a modern system of educational work — one in which convenience, efficiency, and oversight are combined in a single digital format. If the pilot project proves successful, the experience will be implemented across all military units of the National Guard. Press Service of the National GuardMinistry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of KazakhstanSource : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/kvv/press/news/details/1121604?lang=kk

The Ministry of National Economy of the Republic of Kazakhstan has approved an order to establish lists of goods imported for processing, upon import of which enterprises can use the mechanism for deferring payment of value added tax (VAT).The document also defines the categories of taxpayers eligible for such a deferral, in accordance with paragraph 2 of Article 134 of the Tax Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan.At the same time, the lists do not apply to imports of goods from the member countries of the Eurasian Economic Union.The prepared lists include goods that are not produced in Kazakhstan or do not cover the needs of the domestic market, but are necessary for the operation of processing industries.The adopted order is aimed at increasing the availability of raw materials and components for processing industries. Granting a deferred payment of VAT will allow enterprises not to divert working capital when importing necessary goods, thereby maintaining their financial stability.The procedure and deadlines for granting deferral will be established by the authorized body responsible for the administration of taxes and other mandatory payments to the budget.Link to the draft order: https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/economy/documents/details/933850?lang=ru https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/economy/press/news/details/1121481?lang=ruSource : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/kostanai-ekonomika-zhosparlau/press/news/details/1121540?lang=kk
