ON DISCREPANCIES IDENTIFIED AS A RESULT OF DESK TAX CONTROL 04.09.2026
The State Revenue Committee of the Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Kazakhstan reports that, as a result of desk tax control, discrepancies were identified regarding the completeness of income reporting by private notaries and private bailiffs in tax returns for 2023–2024. Notifications have been sent based on the identified discrepancies.The discrepancies were identified through an analysis of tax reporting and information received from authorized government bodies.The purpose of desk tax control is to provide taxpayers with an opportunity to independently eliminate the identified discrepancies.What to Do Upon Receiving a NotificationThe taxpayer has 30 business days – approximately 45 calendar days – to comply with the notification.If you agree with the identified discrepancy, you should submit an additional tax return and pay the self-assessed tax amounts.If you believe that there is no violation, you should submit an explanation with supporting justification.

Desk Audit for Corporate Income Tax (CIT): Key Reasons for Issuing Notifications 04.09.2026
Since the beginning of 2026, amendments to the Tax Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan have come into force aimed at improving the efficiency of tax administration and enhancing the transparency of interaction between taxpayers and state revenue authorities. One of the key tax control instruments remains desk tax control (cameral control), which makes it possible to identify discrepancies between tax reporting data and the taxpayer’s actual activities.A new form of notification of discrepancies has been approved, enabling taxpayers to respond promptly to identified inconsistencies by either eliminating the discrepancies or providing explanations.Article 137 of the Tax Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan (2026) establishes the legal grounds and procedure for conducting cameral control. Cameral control is carried out after the submission of tax returns, within the applicable limitation period, and is aimed at comparing the taxpayer’s data with information available to the tax authorities.Thus, pursuant to Article 137, cameral control is conducted by comparing data contained in:Information available to the tax authorities, including tax forms; Information provided by other authorized state bodies concerning taxable items and/or items related to taxation;Information on the activities of the taxpayer (tax agent) obtained from various sources;Where discrepancies are identified as a result of cameral control, the taxpayer (tax agent), except for participants in horizontal monitoring, is served with a notification of discrepancies identified as a result of cameral control.The main reasons for issuing CIT-related notifications include identified instances of overstatement of CIT deductions for purchased goods, established by comparing data from Tax Reporting Form 100.00 with information contained in received electronic invoices (ESFs), cash register data, imports from EAEU countries (Form 328.00), and data from cargo customs declarations (CCDs) relating to imports from third countries.Another common reason is the understatement of income, identified based on information available to the tax authorities, including tax forms; information provided by other authorized state bodies concerning taxable items and/or items related to taxation; as well as information on the taxpayer’s activities obtained from various information sources and reflected by taxpayers in their corporate income tax returns.Upon receiving a notification, the taxpayer may either eliminate the identified violations or provide substantiated explanations confirming that no violation of tax legislation has occurred. The deadline for complying with the notification is 30 business days from the date of service.The notification is issued to all taxpayers, except for participants in horizontal monitoring, and also applies to foreign companies operating through online platforms in Kazakhstan.The notification may be complied with in several ways:Where the taxpayer agrees: submit an amended tax return, pay the tax arrears and penalties, reflect the relevant data in mobile applications (for self-employed individuals), or take the necessary steps to switch to the appropriate tax regime in accordance with Article 716 of the Tax Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan;Where the taxpayer disagrees: submit written explanations supported by relevant documents;Where the taxpayer partially agrees: eliminate the discrepancies with which it agrees and provide explanations regarding the remaining discrepancies.Failure to comply with the notification within the prescribed period may result in administrative measures by the state revenue authorities, including the suspension of debit transactions on bank accounts, suspension of the issuance of electronic invoices, and restriction of foreign companies’ access to Internet resources where they conduct activities through online platforms.The introduction of the new notification form makes the cameral control process more transparent and enables taxpayers to respond flexibly to identified discrepancies. The key requirement for compliance with tax legislation remains the timely execution of the notification and the accurate reflection of data using digital tools.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/kgd-vko/press/news/details/1286103?lang=ru

Liquidation of Enterprises Without Initiating Bankruptcy Proceedings 04.09.2026
The legislation of the Republic of Kazakhstan provides for a special mechanism for the liquidation of a debtor without initiating bankruptcy proceedings. This procedure applies where the debtor is absent or where a legally established set of circumstances exists. Pursuant to Articles 113–118-1 of the Law of the Republic of Kazakhstan "On Rehabilitation and Bankruptcy," an application to the court for the liquidation of a debtor without initiating bankruptcy proceedings may be filed by a creditor in respect of taxes and customs payments against an absent debtor, as well as by the debtor itself, provided that the conditions established by law are met.For a debtor to apply to the court, several circumstances must exist simultaneously.The amount of the debtor's outstanding obligations to creditors must not exceed 2,500 times the monthly calculation index (MCI) established for the relevant financial year; during the three years preceding the filing of the application, the debtor must not have owned any property or have any accounts receivable; and during that period, the debtor must not have entered into transactions that could be declared invalid in accordance with the legislation of the Republic of Kazakhstan. The application must be accompanied by documents confirming the existence of the circumstances established by law, as well as the relevant decision of the property owner or the founders (participants) of the legal entity.Thus, liquidation without initiating bankruptcy proceedings is not a simplified method for terminating the activities of any enterprise at the discretion of its owners. It is a special judicial procedure that may be applied exclusively where the grounds established by law exist. Among other purposes, this procedure is aimed at the orderly termination of the activities of debtors that are not actually carrying out business activities, while ensuring compliance with the rights and legitimate interests of creditors.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/kgd-vko/press/news/details/1286029?lang=ru

Collection of a Taxpayer’s (Tax Agent’s) Tax Debt from the Accounts of Its Debtors 04.09.2026
One of the mechanisms for the compulsory collection of tax debt provided for by law is the collection of a taxpayer’s (tax agent’s) tax debt from funds held in the bank accounts of its debtors.The taxpayer is required, within 10 business days from the date of receipt of the notification on repayment of tax debt, to submit to the state revenue authority a list of its debtors, indicating the amount of accounts receivable owed by each debtor.At the same time, the state revenue authority has the right to independently identify debtors using data from information systems, as well as, within the framework of an audit, establish settlements between the taxpayer and its debtors. If necessary, a counter-audit of the debtor may be conducted.It is important to note that accounts receivable amounts disputed in court are not confirmed by the state revenue authority.After establishing information regarding the accounts receivable, the debtor is sent a notification confirming the debt. Within 20 business days from the day following the date of receipt of the notification, the debtor shall submit a reconciliation statement of mutual settlements and/or documents confirming the existence of the debt.If the debtor agrees to have the debt amount debited from its bank account to repay the taxpayer’s tax debt, the debtor shall provide the state revenue authority with information regarding the relevant bank account. In this case, a reconciliation statement is not required. The state revenue authority issues a collection order (incasso order) against the specified bank account.If, within one day, there are insufficient funds in the specified account or no funds are available, the collection order is issued against all bank accounts of the debtor.If the debtor does not confirm the debt or fails to submit the required documents within the prescribed period, the state revenue authority, within 1 business day, takes measures to suspend debit transactions on the debtor’s bank accounts. A tax audit of the debtor is subsequently conducted.After the amount of the accounts receivable has been confirmed, the state revenue authority issues a collection order (incasso order) against the debtor’s bank account for an amount not exceeding the taxpayer’s tax debt.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/kgd-vko/press/news/details/1285959?lang=ru

Work continues to create modern, safe and comfortable spaces for children.In accordance with the instructions of the regional akim, two large multifunctional children’s playground complexes were installed last year. They are located in the Triathlon Park and Uly Dala Park. This year, the work has continued, with new complexes installed in Konai and Keruen parks. Another complex is currently being constructed on Youth Boulevard.

Ten of them are being implemented as part of the housing and utilities sector, while 29 are being carried out through the “Participatory Budget” initiative.Once all this year’s projects are completed, the number of courtyards equipped with children’s and sports grounds will reach 362. This will account for 66% of all courtyards in the city.Alongside children’s facilities, particular attention is being paid to improving public spaces that can also be used by residents of the surrounding neighborhoods.For example, as part of a pilot project at School No. 29, around 500 trees have been planted, lighting has been installed, and children’s and sports grounds have been created.

What kind of social support do people with disabilities receive? 04.09.2026
Kazakhstan has a multi-level system of social support for people with disabilities. It includes State social benefits, payments from the State Social Insurance Fund, as well as insurance payments in cases where disability has occurred as a result of a work injury or occupational disease.Today, more than 544 thousand people receive state social benefits for disability. The key type of monetary support is the state social benefit, the amount of which depends on the established disability group and cause.In 2026, in case of disability due to a general illness, the amount of the benefit is 111,873 tenge for persons with disabilities of group I, 89,498 tenge for group II and 61,022 tenge for group III.If social contributions were paid for a citizen to the State Social Insurance Fund, he may additionally receive a social payment in case of disability. Its amount is determined individually, taking into account the income from which social contributions were made, the degree of general disability and the duration of participation in the compulsory social insurance system.Insurance benefits are provided for employees whose disability has occurred as a result of a work-related accident or an occupational disease. Thus, depending on the life situation, government and insurance support can complement each other.Separate measures are provided for citizens who take care of a person with a group I disability, as well as for a mother, father, adoptive parent, guardian or trustee raising a child with a disability. The amount of the corresponding monthly state allowance in 2026 is 81,871 tenge.Disability payments can be made through the Government for Citizens State Corporation, eGov portal.kz or in a proactive format. After the disability is established, an SMS message is sent to the citizen with a proposal to apply for benefits. To assign it, it is enough to confirm the consent with a reply message.The system receives most of the necessary information from government information systems. This allows you to reduce the number of requested documents and in some cases assign a payment without a personal request from a citizen.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/social-abay/press/news/details/1285893?lang=ru
