In 2026, the fine under part 1 of article 597 of the CAO RK for violating the rules for stopping or parking a vehicle is 5 MCI, or 21 625 ₸. The provision also covers violations in places equipped with electric vehicle charging stations, except for the cases provided for in parts 2 and 3 of this article.

What Part 1 of Article 597 of the CAO Says

Part 1 of article 597 of the CAO RK establishes liability for violating the rules for stopping or parking vehicles, including in places equipped with electric vehicle charging stations, except for the cases provided for in parts two and three. The penalty is 5 MCI.

Part 1 applies as the general offense of violating stopping and parking rules if the circumstances of the violation do not correspond to the specific offenses provided for in parts 2 and 3 of article 597 of the CAO. Places with electric vehicle charging stations are expressly included in the wording of part 1.

In 2026, the MCI is 4 325 ₸. Therefore, the fine under part 1 is 21 625 ₸: 4 325 ₸ × 5. When making payment, the amount specified in the administrative offense decision should be used.

How Part 1 Differs from the Other Parts of Article 597

Article 597 of the CAO provides for several types of offenses. The applicable part of the article determines the amount of the fine:

- part 1 — violation of stopping or parking rules, including in places with electric vehicle charging stations, except for the cases under parts 2 and 3: 5 MCI, or 21 625 ₸;

- part 2 — stopping or parking on a sidewalk, flower bed, lawn, children's playground or sports ground: 10 MCI, or 43 250 ₸;

- part 3 — violation of stopping or parking rules on the roadway that obstructs the movement of other vehicles: 10 MCI, or 43 250 ₸;

- part 4 — stopping or parking in places designated for the vehicles of persons with disabilities: 10 MCI, or 43 250 ₸;

- part 4-1 — evasion of payment for parking a vehicle in places specially equipped with certified devices and designated by local executive bodies: 1 MCI, or 4 325 ₸;

- part 4-2 — repeated evasion of parking payment within a year after the imposition of an administrative penalty: 2 MCI, or 8 650 ₸.

To distinguish between parts 1–3, the actual place where the vehicle was stopped or parked and the consequences of the violation are important. For example, a vehicle being on a sidewalk constitutes the specific offense under part 2, while obstructing traffic on the roadway falls under part 3. If part 1 is specified in the decision, the fine must correspond to the penalty under that part.

Repeated Violation and Enforcement Measures

Repeated violation. If the violation provided for in part 1 of article 597 of the CAO is committed again within a year after the imposition of an administrative penalty, part 5 applies: the fine is 10 MCI, or 43 250 ₸. For repeated violations provided for in parts 2 and 3, part 5-1 establishes a fine of 15 MCI, or 64 875 ₸. A repeated violation under part 4 entails a fine of 15 MCI, or 64 875 ₸ under part 6.

Prohibition of operation. In the event of violations provided for in parts 1 and 2 of article 597 of the CAO, an authorized official may prohibit the operation of the vehicle and seize its state registration plates until the reason for prohibiting its operation has been eliminated. This measure is provided for by subparagraph 3 of part 1 of article 797 of the CAO.

Removal to a special facility. Subparagraph 1 of part 1 of article 797 of the CAO provides for the removal of a vehicle, including using another vehicle, to a special facility or parking area in the event of violations under parts 3 and 4 of article 597 of the CAO. To correctly assess the measure applied, the part of article 597 specified in the procedural documents must be taken into account.

What Accountants Need to Know: Company Vehicles and Fines

If an organization uses company vehicles, the administrative fine documents must be checked against the information about the driver and the vehicle. The following procedure is useful for internal accounting:

- Determine who was driving the vehicle. Use trip sheets, the vehicle issue log and other documents recording the transfer of the vehicle to a specific employee on the date and at the time of the violation.

- Review the decision. Check the number of the applicable part of article 597 of the CAO, the date of the violation, vehicle details, the amount of the penalty and payment details. For part 1, the fine in 2026 is 21 625 ₸.

- Establish an internal procedure. An order, company vehicle policy or other internal document may specify the procedure for submitting decisions and payment documents to the accounting department, as well as for interacting with the employee who was driving the vehicle.

- Monitor repeated violations. For the increased penalty to apply, it is important that the violation was committed again within a year after the imposition of an administrative penalty. Keeping records of decisions concerning company vehicles helps track such cases.

- Consider the consequences of the prohibition of operation. The seizure of state registration plates restricts the use of the vehicle until the reason for the prohibition has been eliminated. This may affect travel schedules and the work of business units.

- Retain proof of payment. The payment document should be linked to the specific decision, vehicle and responsible business unit. This simplifies internal control and reconciliation of payments.

If an administrative fine has been transferred to the budget in excess, the Tax Code defines the overpaid amount as the positive difference between the amounts paid and assessed, taking into account offsets and refunds made (article 120 of the TC RK). The tax authority refunds the paid or overpaid fine on the basis of a tax application by transferring the money to the taxpayer's bank account specified in the application (article 122 of the TC RK).

Do Not Confuse It with Article 597 of the Tax Code

Article 597 of the CAO RK and article 597 of the Tax Code of the RK regulate different matters. In the CAO, article 597 concerns violations of the rules for stopping or parking vehicles. In the 2026 Tax Code, the article with the same number defines individual property tax payers and the categories of persons who are not payers within the established limits (article 597 of the TC RK).

Individual property tax payers are individuals who have a taxable item in accordance with article 599 of the TC RK. Paragraph 2 of article 597 of the TC RK lists the categories of individuals and the items to which the exemptions or value limits provided for by this provision apply (article 597 of the TC RK).

For example, for Heroes of the Soviet Union, Heroes of Socialist Labor, persons awarded the titles “Halyk Kaharmany” and “Kazakhstannyn Enbek Eri,” holders of the Order of Labor Glory of three degrees and the Order of Otan, a limit of 1 000 MCI of the total value of the relevant taxable items has been established. With an MCI of 4 325 ₸ in 2026, this limit is 4 325 000 ₸ (article 597 of the TC RK).

For the veterans listed in the article, persons equated to them in terms of benefits, certain home-front workers and persons with disabilities, a limit of 1 500 MCI of the total value of the taxable items specified in the provision is established. In 2026, this is 6 487 500 ₸. The article also separately lists the land plots to which the relevant exemption applies (article 597 of the TC RK).

Thus, article 597 of the CAO applies to a fine for violating stopping or parking rules. Article 597 of the TC RK applies when determining individual property tax payers and the exceptions provided for certain categories.
