- Since 2026, the mandatory VAT registration threshold in Kazakhstan is 10,000 MRP.
- International transport services taxed at 0% still count as taxable turnover, so exceeding the threshold requires VAT registration even if VAT payable is 0.
- Zero-rate VAT is not the same as VAT exemption.
- Certain related services listed in Article 475 are VAT-exempt; if only these are provided, VAT registration is not required even above 10,000 MRP.
- If tax authorities send a registration notice, the taxpayer can submit explanations and documents proving the turnover is exempt/non-taxable.
