2,800 tenge minimum monthly salary, which is 68,4 million
tenge annualy. If the legal entity number of employees is
no more than 50 people than the income should be 5,600
tenge minimum monthly salary, which is 136,9 million
tenge annualy. It is proposed that the number of employ-
ees should not exceed more than 30 people, the income
for the year being not more than 4,100 tenge minimum
monthly salary, which is 100 million tenge annualy.
In the patent, the rate is reduced from two per cent to one
per cent. This is to reduce the tax burden in connection
with the introduction of the contributions to compulsory
social health insurance and compulsory pension payments.
For the agricultural sector, incentive measures are also
proposed.
Payers of the unified land tax will not be VAT payers, re-
gardless of turnover.
To reduce the burden on the wage fund, it is proposed to
abolish the social tax for the head, members and employ-
ees of peasant farming. Other activities will be allowed a
separate accounting.
Since 2020, according to this mode, the tax will be de-
termined from the turnover at a rate of 0.5 per cent (now
depends on the estimated value).
In the special tax regime (STR) for producers of agricul-
tural products, a VAT exemption has been cancelled, which
contradicts the requirements of the WTO. Since, according
to WTO requirements, equal conditions of taxation should
be applied for goods of domestic production and import.
An alternative measure of support will be provided for
them.
There is no restriction on the use of STR by affiliated per-
sons.

THIRD.
Subsoil use
In the sphere of subsoil use, investment in geological ex-
ploration will be stimulated.
Taking into account the world practice, it is proposed to
abolish the excess profit tax for the mining industry by
transferring the load to the rental tax on coal exports. In
the world practice for the mining sector there is no such
tax. In fact, this tax was paid to coal mining companies.
Also, is the plan is to cancel the commercial discovery bo-
nus in order to stimulate successful reconnaissance.
For marine and deep oil deposits, a simpler alternative to
subsoil use tax is proposed.
To accelerate the exploration of solid minerals, a mecha-
nism for rent payments is introduced.
It is also possible to take into account the costs of un-
successful exploration in another mining contract within a
single legal entity.
There will be a review of approaches to determining rev-
enue for the sale of oil and gas that falls below the cost.
Also, it is proposed to reduce the MET (mineral extraction
tax) rate for tin from six per cent to three per cent. This
is done to maintain a new branch of metallurgy - the tin
industry.

For individuals, exemption from individual income tax is
provided for the forgiveness of debts.
When transferring distressed assets to collectors, the col-
lector's discount will be taxed after the asset has been
evaluated.
