The state revenue Committee of the Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Kazakhstan informs that from January 1, 2020, in accordance with the Tax code, all monetary settlements in the territory of the Republic of Kazakhstan are required to be made using online cash registers. These requirements do not apply to entrepreneurs who operate in places where there is no network.
The transition to the use of online CMC is carried out in stages from 2015, where from 2019 the final stage provides for a quarterly expansion of activities for the use of online CMC (April 1-372 types of activities, July 1-115 types of activities, October 1 - 280 types of activities, from January 1, 2020, the obligation applies to taxpayers applying a special tax regime based on a patent, and payers of the unified land tax).
As of October 1 of this year, the number of registered online cash registers is 426 thousand. The main part of registered sales registers is accounted for by stationary (railway) online sales registers, which is about 296 thousand or 70%, which are serviced in maintenance centers.
The remaining 30% or 130 thousand registered online sales registers are cash registers in the form of hardware and software complexes (AIC) that work on computers, tablets and mobile devices.
To date, the state register of cash registers includes 85 models of online cash registers, including 15 models that work on mobile devices that meet all legal requirements for cash registers and are the product of domestic developers.
The main part of registered agribusiness accounts For webkassa (68.0 thousand), ReKassa and NurKassa account for 2.8% (12 thousand) and 0.8% (3.3 thousand) from all registered online sales registers, respectively. The share of other agro-industrial complexes is less.
Online cash ReKassa and NurKassa included in the state register of cash register equipment, working on the WEB version (using personal computers) and mobile devices (as apps).
In the territorial bodies of state revenues are not employees implement online POS installation guidelines specific online CRMS are not given, as the legislation of the RK state officials are prohibited to interfere in the activities of business entities and prioritize.
State revenue agencies conduct mass explanatory work among taxpayers about the need to switch to and register online sales registers.
Taxpayers have the right to choose their own model of cash register, suitable for use in the business (Register of models of CMC are approved for use on the territory of Kazakhstan - the State register KKM posted on the official website of the Committee kgd.gov.kz).
The Committee is actively working on implementation of digital solutions and other activities.
For example, to date, we have implemented an API service (open access) for verifying the authenticity of accounting and control marks. This service has already been requested by 14 developer companies that can implement functionality for verifying the authenticity of accounting and control brands of alcoholic beverages in the form of applications. Access to the service is provided through the Committee's electronic portal.
One of the first is the WIPON application that is installed on personal computers, laptops with barcode scanners, data collection terminals and mobile phones.
The Committee does not restrict access to the electronic service for market participants and is ready to consider connecting third-party systems if there is an information security certificate.
In turn, entrepreneurs can choose and use the version that best meets their requirements.
