Updated VAT Exemption Forms for EAEU Imports in Kazakhstan

• Kazakhstan updated the forms of obligations used to claim VAT exemption on imports from EAEU countries.
• Order No. 688 (12 Oct 2026) revised Appendices 1 and 2 to the rules on VAT exemption for EAEU imports; the new forms take effect on 25 Oct 2026.
• Appendix 1 applies to imports of raw materials for producing banknotes by the National Bank of Kazakhstan and its organizations, with a National Bank confirmation of intended use required.
• Appendix 2 applies to imports for official use by accredited foreign diplomatic/consular missions and for personal use by diplomatic and administrative-technical staff and their families.
• The substance of the forms remains the same, but the Tax Code reference was corrected; if goods are used for other purposes, unpaid VAT and penalties under Article 530 must be paid, and the tax amount is stated in tenge.
