- Starting January 1, 2026, Kazakhstan will implement a new Tax Code, increasing the VAT rate from 12% to 16%. This change raises concerns among businesses about pricing, financial reporting, and tax obligations. A key issue is whether businesses need to adjust their inventory or pay the 4% VAT difference on goods with a 12% VAT as of January 1, 2026. The organization “Учёт” has requested clarification from the Ministry of National Economy of Kazakhstan.
