Tax Abuse Allegations in Kazakhstan Spark Online Debate

Karaganda Tax Practices Under Scrutiny: Citizen Alleges Abuse of Legal Procedures A video circulating online has sparked debate over alleged misuse of the APPK RK by tax authorities in Kazakhstan's Karaganda region. A local resident, identified as Айжан Балакешова, claims the system is being used to pressure taxpayers and violate their rights. She alleges that the tax office in the Kazybek bi district is ignoring complaints and continuing to use the procedure inappropriately, even after her previous appeals. "They are using the APPK RK as a weapon, not a tool," Балакешова states in her video. "The procedure is being used to pressure people into hearings even when the statute of limitations has expired." This claim requires further investigation to determine its validity. The video has gained some traction online, generating discussion about government transparency and accountability. Authorities have not yet responded publicly to the allegations. Further investigation is needed to verify the claims made in the video and determine the extent of any potential abuse of power.
