On the first day of the рейд (inspection) activities, the working group visited the wholesale market “Dina” where they conducted explanatory work with entrepreneurs, answered pressing questions, and distributed informational brochures.
Special attention was given to issues of tax administration. Representatives of the regional state revenue authorities emphasized the importance of officially registering business activities, registering cash register machines, issuing fiscal receipts, ensuring acceptance of non-cash payments, including through payment cards, and also informed about the key provisions of the new Tax Code, which came into force on January 1, 2026, including special tax regimes and transitional provisions.
As noted by Shyngys Sairamkan, Head of the Department for Administration of Individual Entrepreneurs of the State Revenue Office for the city of Ust-Kamenogorsk, the introduction of a new special tax regime based on a simplified declaration with a 2% rate contributes to business legalization and reduces the shadow economy.
Bakytzhan Zhumadilov, Head of the Desk Monitoring Department of the Department of State Revenues for the East Kazakhstan Region, emphasized that such explanatory work will be carried out on a regular basis.
