Article 93. Tax risk management System of the Tax Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan

    1. The tax risk management system is a set of measures carried out by a tax authority in tax administration in order to identify tax risks and determine measures to minimize them.

    Tax risk is the probability of non–compliance with the tax legislation of the Republic of Kazakhstan and other legislation of the Republic of Kazakhstan, the control over compliance with which is entrusted to the tax authorities.

    2. Measures to minimize tax risk in tax administration are divided into preventive and control measures.

    Preventive measures to minimize tax risk are carried out by informing taxpayers (tax agents) about the deadlines for submitting tax forms, paying taxes and payments to the budget, tax registration and (or) the need to fulfill other tax obligations.

    Control measures to minimize tax risk are carried out through desk control, electronic invoice statement control, tax control and other forms of control.

    The application of measures to minimize tax risk to a taxpayer (tax agent) is determined, among other things, using the automated information system of the tax authority.

    The procedure for organizing tax risk management is determined by the authorized body.

    3. The information obtained during tax risk management, as well as the procedure for organizing tax risk management, are confidential information, access to which is limited by the legislation of the Republic of Kazakhstan.  

    Tax officials use the information they receive solely to perform the tasks and functions assigned to the tax authority, and are not entitled to distribute it either during the performance of their duties or after their completion.

    It is prohibited to provide this information to other persons, including taxpayers.
