Что происходит с бизнесом в Казахстане? | Дмитрий Казанцев

Kazakhstan's tax reform has been one of the biggest blows to small and medium-sized businesses in recent years. In this episode, we explore why entrepreneurs are closing their sole proprietorships en masse, how taxes in Kazakhstan have changed, what's happening with VAT, and why businesses are literally having to restructure their operating models and understand retail taxes. In this episode of the "NAPROLOM" podcast, tax expert and financier Dmitry Kazantsev explains what's happening to businesses after changes to Kazakhstan's tax code and why entrepreneurs are increasingly talking about survival rather than growth. We discuss why the state is increasing tax pressure, who suffered the most after the reform, and why sole proprietorship closures in Kazakhstan have become a widespread phenomenon. We also discuss VAT in Kazakhstan, the transition of businesses to the general tax regime, rising prices, problems in the B2B sector, and the sense of instability many entrepreneurs are experiencing today. You'll learn: — why entrepreneurs are closing their sole proprietorships en masse; — how Kazakhstan's new taxes have impacted prices and businesses; — why small businesses have been hit the hardest; — how to legally optimize taxes without using gray-market schemes. This episode offers many practical insights for business owners, managers, and entrepreneurs in Kazakhstan. Dmitry Kazantsev explains why it's important today to understand the tax code, how to pay less taxes legally, and why entrepreneurs shouldn't delegate this task entirely to an accountant. Watch this episode if you're a sole proprietor in Kazakhstan, work in B2B, or are trying to figure out how to survive as a business in the face of increasing tax burdens and constant regulatory changes.
