Other reports due

Kazakhstan legislation stipulates other types of reports (e.g., statistical reports, reports of the taxpayers that are subject to monitoring, etc.) due for filing with the appropriate authorities. There are also other tax payments to the budget with specific payment and filing deadlines. The volume and content of the reports and payment deadlines are determined depending upon the activities performed by an entity. Please contact EY if you require information on other types of reports.
