  • Kazakhstan Amends Tax Code

    On 16 November 2009, Kazakhstan adopted certain amendments to its Tax Code (the "Tax Amendments"). Most of the Tax Amendments take effect from 1 January 2010. However, some changes are effective retroactively from 1 January 2009. The primary purpose of the Tax Amendments is to keep the current rates of the corporate income tax and the mineral extraction tax until 2012. Another objective is to simplify tax administration and clarify certain provisions of the Tax Code.

  • Intellectual Property Rights and the Internet in Kazakhstan

    The protection of intellectual property from unauthorized or improper use is always a source of international contention because of the varied protection and enforcement levels between countries. The internet has only intensified this conflict by providing a vast new medium for IP infringement. Thus, the spread of the internet into the countries of the former Soviet Union where private property rights are still very much a developing concept has created numerous IP enforcement issues.
