Kazakhstan is developing a unified digital tax ecosystem to improve transparency, reduce administrative burdens, and enhance business-state interactions.
At a meeting with experts and business representatives, Prime Minister Olzhas Bektenov outlined key reforms, including reducing tax regimes from 364 to 40 and integrating artificial intelligence and big data analytics.
The system will incorporate 55 state databases by the end of 2024, expanding to 100. This will allow authorities to create digital taxpayer profiles, with 569,000 legal entities and 1.8 million individual entrepreneurs already registered.
Biometric verification will be introduced for high-risk taxpayers using Face ID within the electronic invoicing system (EIS). Authorities are also tightening business registration rules to prevent fraudulent transactions.
Kazakhstan has placed 101 foreign e-commerce platforms, including Temu and Alibaba, under tax regulation, generating 175 billion tenge in 2024. The government also aims to regulate gig economy workers using digital platforms.
A pilot project with Yandex Taxi launched in September 2024 has already transferred 378 million tenge in personal income tax and about 1 billion tenge in social payments directly to the budget.
By Q1 2025, the Ministry of Finance plans to expand this initiative to more than 30 digital platforms. These measures are expected to strengthen tax collection, eliminate shadow schemes, and simplify compliance.
