100 000 компаний закрылись, 184 000 бросили — участник проектного офиса о том, что происходит

100,000 companies have closed since the beginning of the year. Another 184,000 simply quit—failing to submit reports, failing to pay taxes, and simply disappearing. These are the results of the first months of the new Tax Code. Maxim Baryshev, founder of Uchet.kz and a member of the project office led by Zhumangarin, explains in detail why the ban on deductions for BTB transactions is driving businesses underground, why a 40% payroll burden is killing official employment, and what's really going on behind the closed doors of the project office. Plus a personal anti-crisis case: how he cut his own salary to 200,000 tenge and began firing those who couldn't explain their accomplishments over the year.
