The State Revenue Committee reports on the completion of the construction of the Alakol customs checkpoint on the Kazakhstan section of the customs border of the Eurasian Economic Union. Since May 12, 2025 the checkpoint has been fully operational.The new facility was built under the project “Modernization and technical upgrading of checkpoints located on the Kazakhstan section of the customs border of the Eurasian Economic Union”. The realization of this project is aimed at increasing the efficiency of foreign economic activity, reducing border crossing time and improving conditions for participants of foreign economic activity and citizens.The modern Dostyk checkpoint is equipped with all the necessary technological equipment for automated customs and other types of state control.One of the key results of the modernization was the expansion of the number of lanes from two to six.

The state revenue bodies study and analyze the reports submitted by the taxpayer on an ongoing basis, and in case of detecting deviations, an opportunity is provided to independently eliminate violations  by sending notifications/cameral control notices.The most common violations are of the following nature:Understatement of income in comparison with the data of electronic invoices (hereinafter - the e-invoice) (sales turnover) and cash register machines (hereinafter - the CRM);Padding deductions in comparison with the acquisition e-invoice;The main reason to underestimate income is not breaking checks. In order to avoid such violations, it is necessary to observe fiscal discipline, automate accounting, and regularly review compliance of the e-invoice and CRM data.For taxpayers is important to maintain transparency in conducting business, correctly capture revenue, and use modern tax control methods to avoid problems and ensure the stable development of their company.Padding deductions in comparison with the e-invoice is a common mistake that can lead to tax risks. This situation occurs when a taxpayer claims expenses for deduction, exceeding the actual cost of the purchased goods, works or services, confirmed in the e-invoice.The Tax Code provides for a list of exspenses required for corporate income tax deductions (hereinafter- the CIT. However, despite the established rules, some taxpayers resort to various methods to avoid paying taxes, including transferring expenses from one category to another or reflecting incorrect deductions.Another reason is the late adjustment to the data. For example, in the case of corrections in the e-invoice or return of part of the goods, the deduction amount must also be reviewed, but not taking into consideration of these changes in accounting, may cause some discrepancies with the declaration.In order to avoid such discrepancies, it is necessary to introduce a strict monitoring of compliance of accounting data and information from the e-invoice. Regular reconciliations shall help to identify discrepancies even before submitting reports. Thus, control, automation and a competent approach to tax accounting shall help to avoid mistakes related to padding CIT deductions and reduce the risks of tax surcharges.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/kgd-vko/press/news/details/1019923?lang=kk

On June 17, at the folk crafts festival "Koloner - Ulttyk Kundylygymyz" in the Community Center of Mendykara District, masters and connoisseurs of traditional applied art - students of the college, children's art school, as well as residents of the village of Borovskoye gathered.The goal of the festival is not just a demonstration of crafts and familiarization with the products of folk craftsmen of different ethnic groups, but also an opportunity to touch the origins, try yourself in different techniques, and enjoy the creative process. And this means strengthening the connection between generations, preserving spiritual values ​​​​and fostering love for our multinational Motherland. Once upon a time, not only goods, but also craft traditions traveled along the Great Silk Road, along the roads between the East and the West. It was through such cultural bridges that peoples were inspired by each other, cultures were mutually enriched and unique forms of art were created. Looking at the products of modern masters, we see how this path continues today.With Makhmutova Amina, the Borovsk residents learned how to spin thread from wool and roving using a spindle. This master class was especially fun. For a fallen spindle, it was necessary to sing a ditty or remember a suitable proverb/saying. The girls happily performed ditties that they heard from their grandmothers.The master class of Andrianova Nadezhda on painting fabric with acrylic aroused great interest; the children happily depicted elements of a plant ornament on their T-shirts and jeans.With special trepidation, under the guidance of Zhansaya Ismagulova, the festival guests made tumars not only for themselves, but for all family members.Both adults and children really enjoyed the master class of Bekbolatova Aigul on dry felting using needles and Akulova Tatyana on wet felting using a soap solution. This is not surprising, because felting is an effective art therapy technique that can help combat stress, relieve tension and develop fine motor skills.The youngest craftswoman, Margarita Safiulina, is only 16 years old, but there was an endless line of children to her master class on creating keychains. They were attracted by both the elements of jewelry and miniature tools: all kinds of nippers, round-nose pliers, tweezers..."Very cool and exciting. I would make 100 more!", "We discovered our hidden talents. So much positivity, impressions!", "I liked everything, drawing on clothes is very cool!", "Very interesting. I liked spinning with a spindle, I made myself a bracelet and a talisman. A very wise craft", "We immersed ourselves in the world of creativity, rested, charged with emotions, bought beautiful things" - this is what the festival participants say.The organizers thank everyone who took part in the festival for their contribution to preserving cultural heritage and supporting folk crafts. Through creativity and interest in the culture of other ethnic groups, we better understand ourselves and our common path.The festival is organized within the framework of the project to strengthen interethnic and interfaith harmony, which is being implemented by the PF "Association of Psychologists of the Kostanay Region" by order of the State Institution "Department of Internal Policy of the Mendykarinsky District".Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/kostanai-mendykarin-audany-akimat/press/news/details/1019947?lang=kk
