- Starting January 1, 2026, Kazakhstan will enforce an automated VAT control system linking electronic invoice issuance to VAT payment status.
- A taxpayer can issue an electronic invoice only if their virtual tax account balance covers the invoice’s VAT amount.
- The balance is calculated as Input VAT + Paid VAT
- VAT Liabilities.
- If the balance is insufficient, the invoice is blocked in the IS ESF portal until funds are added.
