What changes have occurred regarding the turnover for the acquisition of works and services from non-residents?Answer:The procedure for recognizing turnover from the acquisition of works and services from non-residents has not changed. However, to simplify tax administration, the procedure for recognizing it and offsetting it has been changed.1) For turnover from the acquisition of works and services from non-residents, the VAT payer issues an e-invoice to their own address.2) The e-invoice is issued after the date of VAT payment for the non-resident to the budget, but no later than 5 calendar days after such payment date.3) The VAT amount for the non-resident is offset based on the issued e-invoice, as of the date of its issuance.How will VAT taxation on the sale and rental of housing change from 2026?Answer:From 2026, a change has been introduced regarding the VAT exemption for the sale and rental of housing.The sale of a residential building (or part of a residential building) by a construction company will be exempt from VAT, provided its construction started and/or its commissioning was completed before January 1, 2026.The VAT exemption will also apply to the lease of a residential building (or part of a residential building) under a long-term housing lease agreement with a purchase right, concluded before January 1, 2026.According to the new Tax Code, on what date will the buyer of goods, works, and services offset the VAT amount based on the invoice? Has the procedure for VAT offset changed?The new Tax Code stipulates that the VAT amount on an invoice will be offset on the date of receipt of the goods, works, or services.To offset the VAT amount, the VAT payer must mark in the e-invoice system that the VAT amount on such an e-invoice is to be offset.If goods and services were purchased in Q4 2025, but the e-invoice for them was issued in 2026, how should the VAT be offset? 12% or 16%?Answer:If the transaction date falls in Q4 2025, then when issuing the e-invoice, the VAT rate effective in 2025 applies, which is 12%.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/kgd-zko/press/news/details/1153976?lang=kk

     A 51-year-old woman was serving a sentence for distributing narcotic drugs and was sentenced by a court to 10 years in prison.                      She arrived at the women's institution of the executive system of the Abai region to serve her sentence.             Over the years of her stay in the institution, the convict has proven herself on the positive side. She worked diligently in the sewing workshop, showing discipline, responsibility and initiative. The administration of the institution has repeatedly noted her desire for correction, compliance with the established procedure and active participation in labor activities.             Being in the institution changed not only the convict herself, but also her life. Having no family before her incarceration, she met a man who became her mainstay and support, and eventually her legal spouse. Despite all the difficulties, he visited her regularly, supported her morally and believed in her return to a free life.             On the day of her release, her husband was by her side again. At the gates of the institution, he met his wife with excitement and joy, for whom this day was the beginning of a new chapter.              — These years have taught me to appreciate simple things — hard work, honesty and human warmth. I am grateful to the staff of the institution for the opportunity to change and start my life anew. The most important thing is that I am not alone. Today I'm going out to a man who believed in me when I didn't believe in myself," the convict shared.            This touching moment has become a symbol of hope and proof that even in the most difficult circumstances of life, a person is able to change his path, preserve human values and return to society with faith in a decent future.             — Our main goal is to provide comprehensive support to convicts, to help them adapt to life in society. Legal and social support for foreign citizens is also an important area of our work. Such stories strengthen the convicts' faith in the future and clearly demonstrate that the path of correction is real," said Akmaral Kairanova, Deputy head of the institution.                              Such stories show the importance of the resocialization of convicts, the role of labor, discipline and support of loved ones in the process of correction and successful adaptation after release.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/duisabai/press/news/details/1153991?lang=kk

           In the medium—security institution of the penal colony in the Abai region, convicts employed in a workshop for the manufacture of metal structures and applied art products began to produce a split for livestock, a special machine designed for the safe fixation of farm animals.            This equipment is used on farms when working with cattle during veterinary and zootechnical activities, including vaccination, chipping, treatment, artificial insemination and branding. The split design ensures reliable fixation of the animal's head and body, which increases staff safety and reduces stress among livestock.            The first machine was made by individual order of a peasant farm in the Almaty region. Three convicts with experience and skills in metalworking participated in the execution of the order. The average production time for such products is from three to four days.         — When you work on a real order and realize that the safety of people and animals depends on the quality of your work, you begin to treat work and yourself differently. This job provides an opportunity to correct past mistakes with deeds, acquire a profession and be released with the understanding that you can be useful to society," the convict shared.               — The involvement of convicts in the manufacture of demanded products allows not only to ensure their employment, but also to form practical skills that will be in demand after their release. Such orders confirm that the production facilities of the institution meet the requirements of the market," said Kuanyshbek Tukanov, head of the Labor Organization Department for convicts.                The development of production workshops in penal institutions contributes to the resocialization of convicts and the expansion of cooperation with representatives of the agricultural sector. The institution notes that industrial activity is an important part of the social adaptation of convicts.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/duisabai/press/news/details/1154015?lang=kk

The new Tax Code lacks an article similar to Article 239 of the current Tax Code regarding income from the operation of social infrastructure facilities. How will such income be taxed starting from 2026?Answer:The new Tax Code does not contain separate provisions and does not provide for separate tax accounting for income from the operation of social infrastructure facilities; accordingly, the general taxation procedure applies.That is, if there is income from the operation of social infrastructure facilities (even minor), the entire amount of expenses aimed at obtaining such income will be deductible.Is the taxation procedure for non-profit organizations preserved? Can such organizations exempt their income from taxation?Answer:For non-profit organizations (NPOs), two taxation options are provided, which allow for tax exemption.The first option – if an NPO meets two conditions established by the law on NPOs (does not distribute net income and does not have the goal of generating income), then such an NPO, for Corporate Income Tax (CIT) purposes, excludes specific types of income from Total Annual Income, meaning they are not taxed (contributions, donations, income from state social orders, deposit interest, foreign exchange gains, property received free of charge, contributions from Homeowners' Associations and Condominium Associations).The second option – if an NPO meets the definition of an organization operating in the social sphere, then such an NPO reduces the calculated CIT by 100%.

Active work is underway in the Kostanay region in the field of digital development and the implementation of artificial intelligence. At a meeting with the participation of the head of the region, Kumar Aksakalov, key priorities for further steps were outlined, aimed at transitioning from individual digital solutions to comprehensive digital transformation focused on the regional economy, the efficiency of public administration, and the needs of residents.The year 2026, declared by the Head of State as the Year of Digitalization and Artificial Intelligence, is seen as an important stage in the transition to data-driven management and the practical application of AI. The main emphasis is on the digitalization of the real sector of the economy – industry, agriculture, housing and communal services, energy, transport and logistics, as well as the social sphere – healthcare and education. The main goal is to ensure economic growth through the introduction of digital technologies and the transition to a unified regional digital ecosystem.«In 2025, 101 industrial robots were installed at automobile plants, mining and engineering enterprises in the region, and 145 robots are now in operation. Antenna-mast structures have been installed in 44 settlements. About 14 thousand rural residents have gained access to 4G mobile internet. Over the past 3 years, we have managed to provide all 440 schools with high-speed internet. According to the results of the 2025 public monitoring, the Kostanay region took third place, and in the provision of services in electronic form – second place», – noted the akim of the Kostanay region, Kumar Aksakalov.Today, a sustainable IT ecosystem is being formed in the region. About 340 IT companies are already operating in the region. According to the results of 2025, tax revenues from their activities amounted to about 650 million tenge, which is 30% more than the previous year. At the same time, the export of IT services is growing – regional companies are entering foreign markets with their own digital products and solutions.Systematic work on the development of digital infrastructure continues. The provision of rural settlements with quality 4G internet shows a steady positive trend: if in 2022 this figure was 60%, then in 2025 it reached 76%.The digital divide in education has been significantly reduced: if in 2022 only 88 schools (19.4%) had internet with a speed of over 20 Mbps, then in 2025 high-speed internet has been provided to all 440 schools.In collaboration with the A. Baitursynuly Regional University, work on opening the Tomorrow School International School of Artificial Intelligence (France) will be completed within a month.Special attention is paid to the integration of information systems. In 2026, their consolidation and transfer to a single platform with integration into the national big data system is planned. This will create conditions for the broader application of analytics and artificial intelligence in management.In the field of public services, the Kostanay region holds leading positions: first place in online monitoring, second place in the country in the quality of electronic services, and third place in the overall rating based on the results of two studies. The level of public satisfaction remains high. In the future, it is planned to transfer at least 80% of in-demand services to a proactive and mobile format using AI.Digitalization is becoming an important tool for increasing management efficiency, developing the economy, and improving the quality of life of the region's population.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/kostanay/press/news/details/1153871?lang=kk
