Tengrinews.kz - What will change in the lives of Kazakhstanis from April 2025?

Transport tax payment deadline expires

April 1, 2025 is the deadline for paying the transport tax for 2024. You can calculate the amount of tax to be paid yourself in the e-Salyq Azamat mobile application or on the website of the State Revenue Committee.

Since March 15, second-tier banks have begun sending Kazakhstanis personal amounts of transport taxes.

Those who are late with the payment will be charged a penalty daily. Tax authorities will send notifications to bailiffs. They, in turn, can seize property and bank accounts, restrict travel outside the country, prohibit loans, and so on.

Mopeds will be registered in Kazakhstan

From April 5, 2025, mopeds will be officially equated to mechanical vehicles in Kazakhstan. From this date, driving an unregistered moped will be considered a violation of the law.

To register, you must contact the special PSCs at your place of residence with an identity card (can be in electronic form), a technical document or the characteristics of the moped. After that, you need to fill out an application, have the moped inspected and pay state fees.

Insurance rules for drivers will change

Changes to the bonus-malus system for calculating the cost of compulsory motor third party liability insurance will come into force in Kazakhstan on April 7, 2024. According to the new rules, the insurance class will be affected not only by accidents, but also by gross violations of the rules recorded during the validity period of the insurance policy.
