On October 30, 2025, a large-scale seminar dedicated to the new Tax Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan, which comes into effect on January 1, 2026, was held in the city of Ridder by the Department of State Revenue for the East Kazakhstan Region.
The event took place at the Ridder Agrarian and Technical College and brought together representatives of the local business community and the public.
Participants were introduced to the new provisions regarding corporate income tax and the procedure for paying advance payments, as well as to changes in the taxation of the subsoil use sector.
The rules for VAT registration and the procedure for refunding excess VAT were also presented.
Speakers from the Department of State Revenue provided detailed explanations of the key changes related to individual income tax, social tax, property taxes, and tax administration.
The new Tax Code provides for a large-scale simplification of tax administration: the volume of tax reporting is reduced by 30 percent, tax benefits are optimized, and procedures for debt collection, deferral, and installment payments are simplified.
The existing special tax regimes have been reduced from seven to three: for self-employed individuals, under a simplified declaration, and for peasant or farm enterprises.
The social tax deduction for persons with disabilities has been increased from 882 to 5,000 MCI, which is a significant benefit for socially vulnerable groups of the population.
A key task of the Department is to ensure timely and comprehensive communication with taxpayers.
“The new Tax Code contains a number of important changes that every entrepreneur should understand before it comes into force,” noted representatives of the Department.
In conclusion, it was emphasized that holding such seminars allows taxpayers to prepare in advance for working under the new tax legislation.
During the open dialogue, participants received answers to all their questions regarding the changes in the new Tax Code.
