Simplified VAT refund procedure from 2026 Starting from 2026, the new Tax Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan granted the right to simplified VAT refund to all exporters, in contrast to the current norms, according to which the simplified VAT refund procedure is applied only by certain categories of taxpayers: large enterprises, manufacturers and exporters included in approved lists. VAT refund in a simplified manner will be carried out within 15 working days without verification, provided that the following conditions are met at the same time: 1) the absence of unfulfilled notifications as of the date of filing the request for a refund; 2) the presence of a confirmed amount of excess VAT refund based on the results of a tax audit for the 12 months preceding the date of filing the request. The amount of the refund will be determined using a tax risk management system, with the results of previous tax audits being the main guideline. The procedure for VAT refund checks will also change. If earlier the Pyramid report was used to identify violations throughout the supply chain, which led to a refusal to refund VAT, then from the new year this report will be used as a tool for identifying risk areas. Counter-checks will be appointed for the identified risks, and only if violations are confirmed from the direct suppliers, the debit balance amounts will not be confirmed for refund. The rules for the refund of excess VAT were approved by the Order of the Acting Minister of Finance of the Republic of Kazakhstan dated October 30, 2025 No. 649.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/kgd-kostanay/press/news/details/1103152?lang=kk

The Government, chaired by Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of National Economy of the Republic of Kazakhstan Serik Zhumangarin, discussed the formation of a pool of projects in priority areas of the economy within the framework of the Investment Order program.The "Investment Order" is a new government program aimed at supporting investment projects of SMEs and large businesses for the production of goods in demand among the population and with a high proportion of imports. These are mainly agricultural products and consumer goods of the manufacturing industry. The government identifies promising niches with high potential for producing goods for import substitution and export, and regions identify specific projects and businesses that can implement them. The analysis of the effectiveness of projects and their financing will be carried out through the tools and mechanisms of the Baiterek holding."Together with the akimats of the regions and cities of republican significance, an analysis of the production potential of the regions was carried out. An investment portfolio has been formed for agribusiness projects, which includes 202 projects totaling 4.3 trillion tenge," Vice Minister of Agriculture Yermek Kenzhekhanuly said at the meeting.The pool of projects under the "Investment Order" in the agricultural sector includes the continuation of the construction of dairy farms, the development of meat and poultry farming, the processing of milk, meat, leather and wool, the construction of greenhouses, the processing of vegetables, fruits and potatoes, the development of the sugar industry and deep processing of grain, the creation of fish processing enterprises. Thus, the "Investment Order" will be a continuation of the implementation of previous state programs to reduce the country's import dependence, with a focus on specific projects and their effectiveness for each segment of the industry.   In particular, 5 sugar production projects are planned to reduce sugar import dependence, including QAZAQARAB SUGAR LLP and Asyl Farms LLP. Poultry meat – 24 projects (JSC "AITAS KZ", LLP "Eco Broiler Ltd" and others); 3 projects for the production of sausage products, including LLP "STERKH" and SEC "S-Bolashak". The Turkish company Tiryaki Holding is already implementing a project in Astana for the construction of an integrated agro-industrial complex for the deep processing of cereals and legumes. The processing capacity will be 240 thousand tons of wheat and 80 thousand tons of peas. The project cost is $320 million, with a deadline of 2028.Vice Minister of Industry and Construction Olzhas Saparbekov presented a list of 26 types of consumer goods with high import dependence. These include cotton fabrics, school uniforms, shoes, plumbing, household appliances, cosmetics and hygiene products. A portfolio of 67 investment projects worth over 600 billion tenge has been formed in these areas, creating about 10,000 jobs. Among the key initiatives are the production of cotton fabrics in the Turkestan region, plumbing in the Kyzylorda region, thermal insulation materials in the Karaganda region, chipboard and chipboard in the North Kazakhstan region.Proposals on the application of tax incentives were discussed to stimulate the light industry. All projects will be reviewed by the Baiterek Holding company to assess their economic feasibility and investment attractiveness. Financing will be provided through the holding's subsidiaries and, if necessary, second-tier banks.The selection of investors will be carried out taking into account financial stability, industry experience and the level of localization of production.Summing up, Serik Zhumangarin instructed government agencies to complete all organizational and legal procedures for launching the program as soon as possible, as well as to actively work out specific projects together with regions and businesses."The essence of the program is simple and clear. We have been working on all its directions since the summer. Now comes the stage of practical implementation. When the project began to replicate the experience of the North Kazakhstan region in the construction of dairy farms, many doubted, and now everyone is asking for funding. But resources are limited – funds will be allocated to those regions where real work is underway and there are viable projects," the Deputy Prime Minister summed up the meeting. https://primeminister.kz/ru/news/programma-zakaz-na-investicii-startuet-v-sleduiushhem-godu-v-rk-30707Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/kostanai-ekonomika-zhosparlau/press/news/details/1103134?lang=kk

A seminar for taxpayers was held in the village of Beineu at the site of the Beineu district Akimat.The seminar addressed the issues of reducing the number of special tax regimes to three categories. The innovation will simplify tax accounting and facilitate tax administration for businesses. Self-employed citizens are given the opportunity to legally receive incomes of up to 4080 MCI per year without having to pay individual income tax, limited by social contributions in the amount of 4% of income. A special tax regime has been established for small businesses with a maximum rate of 4%, which is reduced to 2% if certain conditions are met. These measures are aimed at reducing the burden on entrepreneurs and increasing the transparency of the tax system.The new Tax Code significantly simplifies the activities of entrepreneurs, reduces the amount of reporting by about a third, and the declaration is submitted once a year. Control over compliance with the rules is carried out through an automated risk assessment system, and the accounts of enterprises with minor debts are no longer automatically blocked. All these measures make doing business more comfortable and stimulate economic development.Thus, the new tax rules contribute to creating favorable conditions for the development of the private sector, minimizing administrative obstacles and increasing confidence in the tax system of Kazakhstan.During the event, representatives of the State Revenue Department for the Beine district provided detailed answers to relevant questions.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/kgd-mangistau/press/news/details/1103064?lang=kk
