This amendment was proposed in the draft Tax Code.
The Deputy Chairman of the Committee for State Revenues, Zhanibek Nurzhanov, stated that the innovation means that if a taxpayer fails to submit their report on time, it will be considered submitted with zero data.
He also noted that later the taxpayer will have the opportunity to submit a corrected declaration for the same reporting period.
He added that as a result of this measure, penalties for late submission of reports will be abolished, significantly simplifying the process for both tax control authorities and citizens themselves.
Additionally, it was announced on November 19 that starting next year, 90% of employees in private companies, retirees, homemakers, and students will not be required to file a tax declaration.
However, it is important to note that this obligation will remain for civil servants, executives, founders of quasi-state and private organizations, including their spouses and individuals holding assets abroad.
The Ministry of Finance also proposed to require declarations from those who own property abroad, candidates for elective positions, civil servants, as well as those intending to become major participants in the banking, stock market, or insurance companies.
