An individual’s tax liability in Kazakhstan is determined by the type of income, property or activity and the circumstances of the specific tax period. In 2026, it is important for an accountant to distinguish between a citizen’s personal tax liabilities, the liabilities of an individual entrepreneur and the amounts calculated and withheld by a tax agent. When checking assessments and outstanding tax liabilities, the individual must be identified by their Individual Identification Number (IIN), the information must be compared with the documents and, if there are discrepancies, an inquiry must be submitted to the tax authority.
Individual Taxes: What an Accountant Should Check
The search query “individual tax” is usually associated with one of several practical tasks: checking assessments, obtaining information about outstanding tax liabilities, clarifying the application of a tax deduction or reviewing a tax authority document. It is advisable to begin the review by determining the type of liability, the grounds on which it arose, the tax period and the taxpayer.
The accountant or the individual should check the following in sequence:
- who the liability belongs to and the grounds on which it is recorded;

- whether the assessment relates to the citizen’s personal liabilities or their business activities;

- whether the individual’s identification details match;

- whether previously made payments have been recorded;

- whether there are documents confirming the claimed right to a tax deduction;

- whether notices or other documents from the tax authority have been sent to the individual.

An IIN is used when processing a citizen’s data in Kazakhstan. The phrase “individual taxes by TIN” occurs in search queries; however, an IIN is used to identify an individual in Kazakhstan. Before viewing the information, the number entered and the taxpayer’s details must be carefully checked.
If an accountant helps an employee check their personal tax liabilities, the results of this review should be considered separately from the employer’s calculations as a tax agent. The IIN identifies the citizen, but determining the reason for an assessment requires information about the type of liability, the tax period, payments made and tax authority documents.
How to Check an Individual’s Taxes by IIN
When checking an individual’s tax liabilities, it is useful to review not only the total amount but also the available breakdown of assessments. If an outstanding liability appears in an official service, it is necessary to determine which liability and period it relates to and which payments are included in the displayed information.
The practical review procedure may be as follows:
- Check the IIN and make sure that the request concerns the correct individual.

- Review information about assessments and outstanding liabilities through an available official tax authority channel.

- Compare the information obtained with receipts, payment orders and other proof of payment.

- Check the details, payment purpose and status of a recently completed payment if it is not yet shown in the available information.

- If there is a discrepancy, submit an inquiry to the tax authority, describe the discrepancy and attach supporting documents.

The data should be compared before paying the displayed amount again. In particular, it is necessary to rule out an error in the IIN or payment details, an incorrect payment purpose, allocation of the amount to another liability or the absence of the completed payment from the current display. If the individual has received an official tax authority document, its contents, the stated grounds, the amount and the compliance deadline must be reviewed.
The accountant should retain the review result, the available breakdown of assessments and the documents on which the conclusion was based. This is particularly important if the citizen reported the outstanding liability verbally or provided only the total amount without a breakdown by type of liability and tax period.
Individual Tax Deduction
Before applying a tax deduction, it is necessary to determine its type, the income and tax period to which it relates and the person accounting for the deduction. A situation in which the deduction is applied by a tax agent should be considered separately from one in which the individual independently fulfils their tax obligations.
A verbal statement by the individual or a single entry in a calculation is insufficient documentary support for the deduction. The accountant should obtain documents relating to the claimed type of deduction, verify the individual’s details, the amount and the period, and ensure that the documents are retained together with the relevant tax calculation.
When analysing the deduction, the accountant should establish:
- the specific deduction claimed by the individual;

- the income and tax period to which it relates;

- which documents have been submitted to support the deduction;

- the amount already accounted for by the tax agent;

- whether the same amount has been included in the calculation more than once.

The individual’s own calculation should be kept separate from the employer’s calculation as a tax agent. If a certain amount was not accounted for by the employer, the accountant should not automatically include it in a subsequent calculation. First, it is necessary to establish the type of deduction, the amount actually accounted for, the contents of the supporting documents and the tax period to which the claimed reduction relates.
Reviewing Outstanding Liabilities and Tax Authority Actions
When an outstanding liability is identified, its type, the period in which it arose, the recorded amount and the information about payments accounted for must be checked. A total amount without a breakdown is insufficient to determine the reason for the discrepancy and understand which liability a previously made payment was allocated to.
If the citizen is registered as an individual entrepreneur or engages in private practice, it is advisable during the reconciliation to group their personal liabilities separately from liabilities related to business activities or private practice. This makes it possible to compare each assessment with the relevant payment document and tax period.
Upon receiving a notice or another tax authority document, the individual should record the date and method of receipt and review the stated grounds, amount and compliance deadline. If payment has already been made but the information in the document differs from it, documents containing the details needed to identify the payment and the relevant liability should be attached to the inquiry submitted to the tax authority.
A tax authority document should be considered in light of its contents and the deadline stated in it. If there are objections, it is advisable to set them out in writing, attach proof of payment or other supporting evidence and submit the inquiry through an available official channel. The submission details and attachments must be retained.
Situations in which a representative acts on behalf of the individual or the legal status of the citizen or their property has been determined by a judicial act require separate consideration. In such cases, it is necessary to take into account the contents of the judicial act that has entered into force, the representative’s authority, information about the property and the tax authority documents received. The general reconciliation procedure does not replace an analysis of these documents.
Frequently Asked Questions

How can an individual’s outstanding tax liabilities be checked? — Information must be obtained using the IIN, and the total amount and available breakdown by type of liability and period must be reviewed, after which the data should be compared with payments made.

Can the amount be paid again if the previous payment is not displayed? — Before paying again, the details and purpose of the first payment, its status and its connection to the specific liability should be checked. If the payment is confirmed but is not shown in the available information, the proof of payment should be attached to the inquiry submitted to the tax authority.
