The taxpayer's passport does not contain tax secrets

Introduced on March 1, 2022, the "Taxpayer Passport" does not contain information that is a tax secret and is designed to protect the rights of consumers. All information can be obtained by reading the QR code. This was reported in the State Revenue Committee of the Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Kazakhstan. Taxpayer's passport is an information card of a business entity containing information that is not a tax secret in a barcode (QR code) generated through the portal of the State Revenue Committee. The taxpayer's passport contains the following information: - an identification number; - name of the individual entrepreneur, legal entity; - last name, first name, patronymic (if it is indicated in the identity document) of an individual entrepreneur, head of a legal entity; - taxpayer status - active, inactive, suspended submission of tax returns; - date of registration, date of deregistration; - registration number of the cash register with the tax authority, place of use of the cash register; - the presence or absence of a license for the storage and retail sale of alcoholic products, with the exception of activities for the storage and retail sale of alcoholic products in the territory of its production. The purpose of introducing a taxpayer passport is to use it, first of all, to strengthen control by the company itself on the fulfillment of the obligations of business entities, as well as to protect the rights of consumers. The task of taxpayers (the sphere of public catering and trade) is to print and place the generated passport in the places of direct location of cash registers that are publicly available for informing the population. At the same time, we inform you that such a passport does not require a monthly update by the taxpayer, since this QR code is updated automatically when registration data changes. Currently, due to the ongoing technical work regarding the integration of information systems of the State Revenue Committee on the formation of a barcode, this service is temporarily not available for use, respectively, until the completion of these works, the absence of a QR code from the taxpayer will not entail administrative responsibility.
