Transport arrears

If outstanding vehicle tax debt has been referred for compulsory enforcement, a judicial enforcement officer may apply debt collection and enforcement measures provided for by the legislation of the Republic of Kazakhstan.

What Measures May Be Applied?

Depending on the circumstances of the enforcement proceedings, the following measures may be applied:

• freezing funds held in bank accounts;

• recovery of debt from funds and property;

• restrictions on certain actions;

• temporary restrictions on leaving the Republic of Kazakhstan where grounds prescribed by law exist.

These measures are not automatically applied to every outstanding debt, regardless of its amount. They are implemented in accordance with the procedure established by the legislation on enforcement proceedings.

What Should You Do If Your Bank Account Is Frozen?

Step 1. Determine the Reason for the Account Freeze

Contact your bank to find out which authority or judicial enforcement officer imposed the freeze and which enforcement document served as its basis.

Step 2. Check the Enforcement Proceedings

You can check whether enforcement proceedings have been initiated through the Automated Information System of Enforcement Proceedings Authorities (AIS OIP):

Step 3. Check the Outstanding Debt Amount

Confirm the amount of outstanding tax, accrued late payment penalties, and any applicable enforcement proceedings expenses.

Step 4. Pay Off the Debt

Pay the outstanding debt using official payment services or the payment method designated for the enforcement proceedings.

If necessary, contact the judicial enforcement officer to confirm the amount payable and the procedure for lifting the restrictions imposed.

Step 5. Check Whether the Account Freeze Has Been Lifted

After paying the debt, contact the judicial enforcement officer to confirm the status of the enforcement proceedings and whether a decision to lift the relevant measures has been issued.

If the debt has been paid but the account remains frozen, provide proof of payment and contact the judicial enforcement officer to verify that the payment has been processed.

Additional Expenses

When a debt is referred for compulsory enforcement, additional expenses may arise, including costs associated with enforcement actions and fees for the services of a private judicial enforcement officer.

The amount of these expenses and the procedure for their recovery are determined by the legislation of the Republic of Kazakhstan on enforcement proceedings.

Important! If you disagree with the assessed tax amount or believe that the debt was recorded in error, contact the state revenue authority to reconcile your tax records. Actions or inaction by a judicial enforcement officer may be appealed in accordance with the procedure established by law.
