Corporate Tax

Kazakhstan has gradually been moving towards a more consistent and comprehensible tax system. Nevertheless, significant uncertainties remain and as the penalty regime is very harsh, simple mistakes can prove very costly. KPMG strongly urges businesses operating in the Kazakhstan market to seek professional assistance.

Our range of corporate tax services include:

Tax Review

Limiting your exposure to tax-related fines and penalties is a priority for our tax team. We have significant experience conducting reviews of the tax compliance of local entities, checking the integrity and accuracy of a company’s tax systems and processes. This helps to limit the risk of inaccuracies or compliance failure and may mitigate the risk of future tax penalties.

Tax Risk Management

A series of recent evolving tax policy developments may prompt companies to revise their tax risk management policies, procedures, and governance in order to minimize tax exposures and to avoid incurring new penalties for noncompliance. We help our clients to timely identify, assess and effectively manage tax risks associated with their activities before these potential tax risks turn to the specific tax assessment.

Tax Advisory

In today’s world, companies need advisors who think beyond the present, see beyond borders and work with clients to deliver long-lasting value. KPMG’s experts help deliver commercial success for clients by anticipating the consequences of actions, work across our organization to demonstrate the global mindset that clients expect from their advisors and turn knowledge into value by listening to – and delivering on – the needs of clients.

Tax Accounting Policy and Tax Registers

Preparing a tax accounting policy is a complicated and laborious task, as a great level of detail is required. Using our knowledge of Kazakhstan tax legislation and our experience in dealing with tax issues in practice, we can advise you on these requirements and assist you in drafting a robust tax accounting policy and tax registers.
