A transitional support package for small businesses was proposed to be introduced in Kazakhstan in Koroltai, at a meeting of the Committee on Economic Policy, Industry and Energy, NPP Atameken announced initiatives to support entrepreneurship as part of the implementation of the President's speech. Main proposals and problems: The role of medium-sized enterprises: Investments of medium-sized enterprises in fixed capital over five years increased 2.6 times (from 1.13 trillion tenge in 2021 to 2.95 trillion in 2025), and their share in the total investment in the country increased from 8.5% to 12.6%. Existing barriers: When moving to the category of medium-sized businesses due to an increase in income (including against the background of rising prices of raw materials), companies risk losing access to government support measures provided to small businesses. Transitional support package: Atameken proposes to create a mechanism for adapting to the tax administration, to maintain approved aid for a fixed period, as well as to provide investment loans for modernization. Tax changes: It is proposed to introduce a simple regime (calculation of tax on the difference between income and expenses without complex accounting) and to remove the prohibition on deductions for transactions between companies according to the standard regime and the special regime with the lowering of the threshold to 300 thousand MKI.
