Kazakhstan’s tax authorities will begin analyzing data on mobile transfers from April 15, Orda.kz reports. Under rules that took effect on January 1, 2026, banks transmit information only on transactions that may show signs of undeclared business activity.
Deputy Finance Minister Erzhan Birzhanov said banks are due to submit first-quarter data by April 15 under the established criteria. After that, the tax authorities will use the information for desk, or chamber, control. If questions arise, a person will receive a notification and will have to either explain the transfers or submit tax reporting.
Transactions may come under scrutiny if the same personal account receives transfers from 100 or more different people in each of three consecutive months, and the total amount over those three months exceeds 12 minimum monthly wages. Under the 2026 budget parameters, that is 1.02 million tenge.
At the same time, ordinary personal transfers for coffee, gifts, birthdays or other everyday expenses are not supposed to fall under this control. Birzhanov said several criteria must be triggered at once, not just a single transfer.
