The "Open Door Day" has already become a traditional event for depositors and recipients of the Unified Accumulative Pension Fund. However, due to the pandemic of coronavirus infection (Covid-19), meetings with depositors cannot be held in person in the branches of the fund for more than a year. The employees of the UAPF once again held it in the virtual space
Everyone could attend the event using the online platform and join the "Open Day" without leaving the walls of their home.
The theme of the event is " Voluntary pension contributions, it's easy to open and top up!". As you know, it is voluntary pension contributions (DPV) that are additional financial support for citizens when they go on a well-deserved vacation. This year has been a positive one in the development of DPV. A number of legislative changes have brought even more advantages for those investors who are thinking about their future today.
In this regard, from January 1, 2021, the DPA paid by the employer at the expense of its own funds in favor of the employee is deducted when calculating corporate income tax. At the same time, the amounts paid by the employer for the benefit of the employee are not taken into account when taxing the employee's income. In addition, since May 1 of this year, the provisions of the Law regulating the procedure for transferring the amounts of guaranteed compensation unclaimed during the year by the Kazakhstan Deposit Guarantee Fund to the UAPF for crediting to individual pension accounts for accounting for DPV have been put into effect.
Also, since May 1 of this year, the list of recipients of pension savings at the expense of DPV has expanded. In particular, now those depositors who have pension savings under the DPV, who have been in the UAPF for at least five years, regardless of the age of the depositor, can count on payments.
The depositors who participated in the "Open Door Day" event learned not only about these innovations, but also calculated their future pension using a pension calculator, and clearly saw that with regular replenishment of the DPV, you can significantly increase your payments from the UAPF. The consultants of the Fund told how to replenish their account under the DPV, which, by the way, now opens automatically with the first voluntary contribution.
The event was held throughout the country with a high attendance, each of the participants was satisfied and satisfied with the electronic format of the "Open Door Day", and many expressed a desire to open their own account for DPV.
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 Property and Privatization Committee of the Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Kazakhstan. The trust management of pension assets of the UAPF is carried out by the National Bank of the Republic of Kazakhstan. Since January 1, 2016, the functions of developing proposals to improve the efficiency of pension asset management have been transferred to the National Fund Management Council.
