The investment income of Kazakhstani citizens is generated both through the management of pension assets by the National Bank of Kazakhstan (NBK) and by private Investment Portfolio Managers (IPMs).As a result of the NBK's investment activities in managing pension assets derived from Mandatory Pension Contributions (MPC), Mandatory Professional Pension Contributions (MPPC), and Voluntary Pension Contributions (VPC), the amount of accrued investment income for the first 3 months of 2026 amounted to 271.4 billion tenge, with an additional 34.1 billion tenge generated from Mandatory Employer Pension Contributions (MEPC).In turn, as of April 1, 2026, income generated from IPMs investment activities for 2026 amounted to 1.56 billion tenge.It should be noted that asset managers implement a balanced investment policy, investing in various types of financial instruments across currencies, countries, sectors, and issuers. Investment income is generated from various sources: income in the form of returns on securities (as well as interest on deposits and other instruments), and through market and currency revaluation of financial instruments and assets held under external management, etc. Thus, the level of investment income depends on a number of factors: the dynamics of the market value of instruments in the portfolio, fluctuations in exchange rates, the inflation rate, dividend payments, and other conditions. Returns may increase or decrease over different periods, which is reflected in the total amount of contributors' pension savings. The primary reason for the decrease in investment income on pension assets managed by the NBK since the beginning of the current year is the negative currency revaluation of foreign currency assets resulting from the strengthening of the tenge against the US dollar — from 505.53 to 478.77 tenge per US dollar.Despite financial market volatility, positive investment income and real returns on pension savings are ensured in the medium and long term. The cumulative investment return from the inception of the funded pension system in 1998 to April 1, 2026, amounted to 1,184.74%, while inflation for the entire period was 970.03%. As of April 1, 2026, the net investment income earned by the NBK since April 1, 2014 (following the consolidation of pension assets into the UAPF) reached 10.54 trillion tenge. Taking into account the payouts made, its share in the total volume of contributors' (beneficiaries') pension savings stands at 40.7%, which demonstrates the significant role of investment activities in the structure of citizens' savings.It is important to note that the return on pension assets over specific short-term periods is not an indicator of management efficiency, as income in the form of interest on financial instruments and other transactions accrued over a short period does not always offset fluctuations in the value of securities and exchange rates during that same period. Therefore, it is advisable to conduct an objective analysis of investment income over a longer time horizon. It should be noted that contributors have the right to transfer a portion of their pension assets (up to 50% of pension savings derived from mandatory pension contributions and up to 100% of pension savings derived from voluntary pension contributions) to be managed by a private Investment Portfolio Manager (IPM) that meets the regulator's requirements.In comparison with the more conservative management of the NBK, which is aimed at preserving pension assets and ensuring positive long-term returns, the investment declarations of IPMs and the requirements of the regulator provide for broader investment opportunities for IPMs in order to increase the return on pension assets (although this entails higher risks).The entire system of investment management and accounting of pension assets is transparent: every contributor has the opportunity to view their investment income in their personal account on the enpf.kz website or via the mobile application.Information regarding the investment management of UAPF pension assets and the financial instruments in which UAPF pension assets are invested is published on the official UAPF website (www.enpf.kz) in the "Statistics and Analytics/Investment Management of Pension Assets" section, as well as on the invest.enpf.kz portal The UAPF was established on August 22, 2013, on the basis of JSC "NPF GNPF". The founder and shareholder of the UAPF is the Government of the Republic of Kazakhstan represented by the State Institution "Committee of State Property and Privatization" of the Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Kazakhstan. The National Bank of the Republic of Kazakhstan carries out the asset management of UAPF pension assets. In accordance with pension legislation, the UAPF performs the collection of mandatory pension contributions, mandatory employer pension contributions, mandatory professional pension contributions, and voluntary pension contributions, as well as the crediting and accounting of voluntary pension contributions formed from the unclaimed amount of guarantee compensation for a guaranteed deposit, transferred by the organization carrying out mandatory deposit insurance in accordance with the Law of the Republic of Kazakhstan "On Mandatory Guaranteeing of Deposits Placed in Second-Tier Banks of the Republic of Kazakhstan", and ensures the execution of pension payments. The Fund also carries out the accounting of target assets and target claims, the accounting and crediting of target savings (TS) to target savings accounts, the payment of TS to their beneficiaries' bank accounts, and the accounting of TS refunds in the manner determined by the Government of the Republic of Kazakhstan within the framework of the "National Fund for Children" program.

The State National Nature Park “Burabay” welcomes more than one million visitors every year. During the peak tourist season, the flow of vehicles increases significantly, which can lead to queues at the second checkpoint located in the village of Burabay. This is not a system failure or an access restriction, but rather the result of the growing popularity of one of the country’s main tourist destinations. Therefore, visitors are encouraged to consider alternative exit routes in order to save time and reduce congestion at Checkpoint No. 2.“The park administration asks visitors to take this traffic load into account and plan their exit route in advance. There are several alternative directions that allow visitors to leave the территории quickly and without delays,” said Deputy Director Venera Nugmanova.The first checkpoint leads to the Astana–Kokshetau highway and is suitable for those returning to the capital or traveling north.The third checkpoint passes through the Shchuchinsky Sanatorium settlement and is convenient for distributing traffic within the resort area.The fourth checkpoint is located near the Baldauren children’s center and also helps reduce congestion at the main exit.Using these alternative routes helps reduce travel time and eases pressure on the national park’s infrastructure.For visitors’ convenience, several payment methods for entrance fees are available. Payments can be made through the Kaspi and Halyk mobile applications, by international bank cards, or in cash. This helps avoid delays at entry and exit points.Burabay National Park remains a place where it is important not only to relax, but also to preserve the natural balance.“A rational choice of route is necessary to make travel more comfortable for everyone, and it helps the entire system operate without overloads,” representatives of the national park noted.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/aqmola-tourism/press/news/details/1215599?lang=kk

Question 1: In what cases do banks transfer information about mobile transfers of individuals to the tax authorities?Answer: According to subparagraph 24) of paragraph 2 of Article 55 of the Tax Code, banking organizations provide information on the amount of money received into the bank account of an individual from other individuals, if there are signs of income from entrepreneurial activities.The transfer of information is carried out only upon simultaneous fulfillment of the established criteria approved by the Order of the Minister of Finance of the Republic of Kazakhstan dated November 12, 2025 No. 698.In particular, if an individual receives money from 100 or more different persons to a bank account not intended for entrepreneurial activity during each of three consecutive calendar months, and the total amount of receipts exceeds 12 times the minimum wage, such information is sent by second-tier banks to the state revenue authorities.Question 2: Is information transmitted to the tax authorities if an individual is registered as an individual entrepreneur?Answer: Information is transmitted to the state revenue authorities for all individuals who meet the established criteria, regardless of whether they are registered as an individual entrepreneur.This is due to the fact that the control takes into account the funds received into a bank account that is not intended for business activities.Question 3: What actions do the state revenue authorities take after receiving information from banks?Answer: After receiving information from the second-tier banks, the state revenue authorities carry out activities in two stages.The first stage is informing the taxpayer. In accordance with Article 93 of the Tax Code, the tax authorities inform the taxpayer about the signs of income generation.For these purposes, a notification is sent to the taxpayer, which is of a notification nature and does not require a response.The second stage is control measures.In the future, if there are grounds, the state revenue authorities carry out desk control in accordance with the procedure provided for by the Tax Code.According to the results of the desk inspection, in case of discrepancies, in accordance with Article 137 of the Tax Code, a notification is sent to the taxpayer.The notification is executed by the taxpayer within 30 working days from the day following the day of its delivery.Question 4: What actions should a taxpayer take when receiving a notification based on the results of the desk inspection?Answer: In accordance with Article 93 of the Tax Code, a notification is sent to the taxpayer, which is of a notification nature and does not require a response.An individual independently decides on the need to fulfill tax obligations.In the case of sending a notification, in accordance with Article 137 of the Tax Code, the taxpayer must, within the prescribed period.:- in agreement with the identified discrepancies, eliminate violations by submitting tax reports;- in case of disagreement, submit written explanations indicating the reasons for the discrepancies, if necessary, with supporting documents attached.In case of failure to provide explanations or the need to confirm the accuracy of the information provided, the tax authority has the right to conduct a tax audit.Question 5: Are mobile transfers taxed?Answer: The transfers themselves are not subject to taxation. According to the norms of the Tax Code, the income of an individual is subject to taxation. If the transfer is income (for example, payment for a product or service), it is subject to taxation.Question 6: In what cases can the activity of receiving transfers be recognized as entrepreneurial?Answer: According to paragraph 1 of Article 2 of the Entrepreneurial Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan, entrepreneurship is an independent, initiative activity of citizens aimed at generating net income from the sale of goods, performance of works or provision of services.
