PRESS RELEASE

About a thousand taxpayers took part in a seminar in Astana on issues relating to tax

and customs administration

On February 14, 2019 the State Revenue Department for Astana with the support of the State Revenue Committee MF RK in the Conference Hall of L.N. Gumilyov Eurasian National University held a seminar on the theme: “Overview of changes and additions on issues relating to tax and customs administration”.

The seminar was attended by the representatives of the Chamber of Entrepreneurs in Astana, “Central House of Accountant” LLP, “Finex-Standard” LLP, with whom the cooperation takes place in the framework of the Memorandum of Cooperation.

Opening the seminar, Acting Deputy Head of the State Revenue Department for Astana Kulekin Temir Siazbekovich emphasized that from 2019 relations with taxpayers will be built on the basis of the risk management system (RMS), i.e. based on the gradation of taxpayers, depending on the degree of risk (high, medium and low), a differentiated approach will be applied.

So, for example, the enforced collection of debts may not be carried out against all taxpayers, but depending on the risk category:

- a high degree of risk – debit transactions on bank accounts and cashier’s office will be suspended – upon expiration of one working day from the date of delivery of the notification of the repayment of tax debts;

- a medium degree of risk – upon expiration of 10 working days from the date of delivery of the notification of the repayment of tax debts.

Similarly, in regard to the limitation in the disposal of the debtor’s property:

- a high degree of risk – debit transactions on bank accounts and cashier’s office will be suspended – upon expiration of one working day from the date of delivery of the notification of the repayment of tax debts;

- a medium degree of risk – upon expiration of 15 working days from the date of delivery of the notification of the repayment of tax debts.

No restrictive measures will be applied against taxpayers classified as of low risk.

Thus, the Risk Management System will be aimed at encouraging taxpayers to fully comply with tax obligations.
