Round table with industry associations, manufacturers and distributors of soft drinks and energy drinks

On April 9, 2026, a roundtable discussion was held under the chairmanship of the Deputy Chairman of the Committee of State Revenues, Seilzhan Akhmetov, together with industry associations, manufacturers, and distributors of soft drinks and energy beverages.

The purpose of the event was to ensure the completeness of excise tax payments, reduce the level of illegal circulation of products, and increase market transparency.

During the meeting, issues related to illegal product circulation, excise taxation, and possible measures to strengthen product traceability were discussed.

It was noted that the energy drink market in the Republic of Kazakhstan is generally well-established and continues to show growth.

The main consumption is attributed to the adult population, while market participants are interested in complying with existing restrictions and legal requirements.

A significant share of production is localized within Kazakhstan, which ensures the country’s export potential.

Kazakhstani enterprises supply products to countries in Central Asia, the Caucasus, and other foreign markets.

Following the roundtable, the parties expressed their readiness for further cooperation and joint efforts to improve market regulation mechanisms and product traceability.

The Committee of State Revenues will also continue its work to strengthen coordination with territorial bodies and relevant government agencies to improve the effectiveness of control over the circulation of excisable goods.
