Verified on release 3.0.74.2 "Accounting for Kazakhstan" (edition 3.0).
End of the year. A reminder arrives from the statistics authorities: submit form 4-invest. Over the year you bought a machine, finished an extension to your warehouse, installed a new server — all of this is capital investment. Now these amounts need to be shown in the statistical report. You open "Regulated Reports," and there are dozens of forms, and it's unclear where the program will pull the figures from and whether they'll match your accounting records. Below is how to fill it out calmly and without resubmissions.
Important about the nature of the report. 4-invest is a statistical regulated report, not a source document. It does not create accounting entries. It collects already prepared amounts from your documents and uploads them to the statistics authority. That's why you can't "post" it — you fill it out, check it, and submit it.
1. Purpose
Form 4-invest is annual statistical reporting on investments in fixed capital and the commissioning of fixed assets. It is submitted to the state statistics authorities (Bureau of National Statistics of the ASPR RK). It shows how much money you invested in construction, equipment, machinery, and other long-term assets during the reporting year.
2. Where to find it
Path in the program:
"Reports" section → "Regulated Reports" (1C-Reporting) → "Create" button → "Statistics" group → "4-invest".
Next, you specify the organization and year — the form will open in the editor.
To open the list of all submitted copies of this form directly in 1C:
Navigation link: e1cib/list/Отчет.РегламентированныйОтчетФорма4ИНВ
To navigate there: menu "Tools" → "Functions for technical specialist" → "Open navigation link" (or Ctrl+Shift+F12 in some builds), paste the link, and click "Go".
2a. How to find out your release
The instructions are correct for a specific version — statistical form templates are updated. Check yours:
"Help" (or the ℹ icon / "?" menu) → "About". In the window that opens:
- Platform — the "1C:Enterprise" version (for example, 8.3.24.xxxx);
- Configuration — "Accounting for Kazakhstan," release (here it should be 3.0.74.2).
If the release is lower — update first, otherwise the form template may be outdated.
3. How to fill it out
Filling proceeds from top to bottom: first the "header" and title page, then the indicators.
Key fields
| Field | Why it's needed / what happens if there's an error | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Organization | Which legal entity the report is for. Get it wrong — data for the wrong BIN will go out, and statistics will return the form. | Mandatory |
| Reporting period (year) | Determines which year the program will collect investments for. Set the wrong year — the amounts will be empty or belong to someone else. | Mandatory |
| Type (primary / replacement) | Primary — you're submitting for the first time. "Replacement" (corrective) — you're correcting an already submitted one. Mix them up — you'll get a rejection "repeated submission of primary". | Mandatory |
| BIN, OKED, KATO | Identification in the statistics system. An incorrect OKED (type of activity) or KATO (territory) is the most common reason for rejection. | Mandatory |
| Unit of measure | Usually thousands of tenge. Enter amounts in tenge instead of thousands ₸ — the figures will "balloon" 1000 times and won't pass the control check. | Mandatory |
| Investment indicators (by sections: construction and installation works, equipment, other) | The essence of the report. You distribute the investment amount across the categories. | Mandatory |
| Responsible persons (manager, preparer, phone) | On the title page. An empty preparer's phone is a typical remark from a statistics operator. | Mandatory on the title page |
Procedure
- Click "Fill" — the program will pull the capital investment amounts from documents for the selected year.
- Check the unit of measure (thousands ₸) and rounding.
- Distribute the amounts across the section lines if autofill lumped them "together".
- Click "Check" (verification of control ratios) — until you get a green result.
- Save. For electronic submission — "Send".
In statistics, investments are usually shown excluding VAT. If you bought equipment for 1,160,000 ₸ including 16% VAT, then 1,000,000 ₸ (the amount without tax) goes into the form, not the full amount. Check that autofill took the cost excluding VAT.
4. Worked example with figures
Scenario. LLP "Astana-Prom" for 2026:
- bought a machine for 1,160,000 ₸ (including 16% VAT — 160,000 ₸), net cost 1,000,000 ₸;
- paid for construction and installation works on the warehouse extension for 2,320,000 ₸ (including 16% VAT — 320,000 ₸), net — 2,000,000 ₸;
- acquired a server and software for 580,000 ₸ (including 16% VAT — 80,000 ₸), net — 500,000 ₸.
Total investments excluding VAT: 3,500,000 ₸ = 3,500 thousand ₸.
Filling out the form (in thousands ₸):
| Investment category | Amount excluding VAT |
|---|---|
| Construction and installation works | 2,000 |
| Machinery, equipment, tools | 1,000 |
| Other (server, software, etc.) | 500 |
| Total investments in fixed capital | 3,500 |
Where these amounts came from — the postings of the source documents (the 4-invest report itself makes no postings, it reads them):
| Operation | Dr | Cr | Amount, ₸ |
|---|---|---|---|
| Receipt of the machine (cost excluding VAT) | 2410 "Fixed assets" | 3310 "AP to suppliers" | 1,000,000 |
| VAT on the machine | 1420 "VAT recoverable" | 3310 | 160,000 |
| Construction works on the warehouse (capital investment) | 2930 "Construction in progress" | 3310 | 2,000,000 |
| VAT on the construction works | 1420 | 3310 | 320,000 |
| Receipt of server/software | 2410 | 3310 | 500,000 |
| VAT on the server | 1420 | 3310 | 80,000 |
| Payment to suppliers | 3310 | 1030 "Cash in current accounts" | 4,060,000 |
What goes into form 4-invest is precisely the net investment amounts (turnover on 2410 and 2930 excluding VAT) — 3,500 thousand ₸. VAT amounts (account 1420) are not included in the investment statistics.
5. Operation types (form variants)
A regulated report has no "operation types" like a source document does. Instead, there are copy parameters:
- Primary — the main submission for the period;
- Corrective / "replacement" — correcting an already accepted report (same period, correction number);
- Zero — if there were no investments during the year, but the obligation to submit remains (submitted with zeros);
- Different periods (year) — a separate copy is created each year.
6. What is generated
A regulated report does not generate accounting entries or movements in accounting registers. When working with it, the following appear:
- A report copy in the "Regulated Reports" journal with a status (Draft → Prepared → Sent → Accepted);
- An export file for the statistics authorities (XML/prescribed format) — via the "Export" button or automatically upon sending;
- Records in the exchange log when submitting via 1C-Reporting (protocols, receipt notifications);
- An electronic signature on the file being sent (EDS).
Electronic documents of the ESF and SNT type have nothing to do with this form — they relate to the sale/movement of goods, not to statistical reporting.
7. Print forms
- Print of form 4-invest — a template with a title page and indicator sections ("Print" button);
- Print with signatures and the organization's stamp — for paper submission;
- Export to a file — electronic format for uploading to the statistics portal / sending through an operator.
8. Common mistakes
"Mandatory details of the title page are not filled in (OKED/KATO)." Open the title page and fill in the activity type code and territory code from the reference books. The data is taken from the organization's card — check its details.
"Control ratio violated: the sum across sections ≠ the 'Total' line." The total line must equal the sum of the categories. Recalculate the breakdown by construction works / equipment / other.
"Amounts are given in tenge, thousands of tenge are expected." Check the unit of measure. Divide the values by 1000 or switch the unit and fill in again.
"The report for the period has already been accepted. Resubmission of the primary is not possible." Create a copy with the type "replacement" (corrective), not a new primary one.
"Autofill data differs from the turnover on accounts 2410/2930." Autofill takes amounts as of the document dates. Check that all fixed asset receipts and capital investments for the year are posted and that you did not include VAT. Reconcile with the trial balance on accounts 2410 and 2930.
"Organization not found in the statistics operators directory / incorrect BIN." Correct the BIN in the organization's card (no spaces, 12 digits).
9. FAQ
Is form 4-invest annual or quarterly? This is an annual statistical form: it is filled out based on the results of the reporting year and submitted to the statistics authorities within the established deadline. The frequency and exact set of indicators depend on the current template — verify it in the program itself after updating (this parameter is version-specific and requires checking on your release).
Where is the report submitted? To the state statistics authorities (Bureau of National Statistics). Electronically — via 1C-Reporting or by exporting a file to the statistics portal.
In what units should it be filled out — in tenge or in thousands? As a rule, in thousands of tenge. If you enter amounts in tenge, the control ratios won't add up, and the indicators will be overstated by 1000 times.
Is the form filled out automatically? Yes, with the "Fill" button the program collects capital investments from posted documents for the year (turnover on the fixed assets and construction-in-progress accounts). The breakdown by sections should be checked manually.
Should VAT be included in the investment amount? No. The cost of investments excluding VAT goes into the form. At a 16% rate, out of the amount with tax of 1,160,000 ₸, 1,000,000 ₸ goes into the report.
What to do if the data diverges from the accounting records? Generate a trial balance for accounts 2410 and 2930 for the year and reconcile it with the form. Reasons for discrepancies: unposted documents, included VAT, investments that do not relate to investments in fixed capital.
How to submit the report electronically? Set up 1C-Reporting (EDS, connection to the operator). Then, in the report copy — "Check" → "Send". The acceptance status will arrive in the exchange log.
How to submit a correction? Create a new copy for the same year with the type "replacement" (corrective), enter the correct data, and send it. The primary is not resubmitted.
Do I need to submit if there were no investments during the year? If the organization is included in the observation list — yes, a zero report is submitted. The obligation to report remains even in the absence of investments.
Where to get the current template if the form was updated? Update the configuration to the latest release — statistical form templates are supplied together with the update. Check the current release via "Help" → "About".
