Tax Accounting Policy: The Document That Protects You During a Tax Audit

We develop tax accounting policies from scratch and update existing ones to reflect all changes in tax legislation. A properly drafted tax accounting policy ensures correct organisation of tax records and eliminates contentious issues during tax control — before they turn into additional tax assessments.

With the entry into force of the new Tax Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan, updating your tax accounting policy has become especially pressing. Operating under an outdated document creates discrepancies in tax records that the tax authority will interpret against you.

Situations Where We Step In:

The tax accounting policy has not been reviewed for years and does not reflect changes in tax legislation
The tax accounting policy needs to be aligned with the new Tax Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan
The company has just been established or is switching to a new tax regime — the tax accounting policy needs to be developed from scratch
A tax audit has been scheduled or is expected — you need to assess whether the current tax accounting policy will withstand inspectors' scrutiny
In a dispute with the tax authority, an issue arose that is not covered by the tax accounting policy — and that weakens the company's position
The business structure has changed: new activities, branches, or intragroup transactions that are not covered in the document

Our Approach:

We draft the tax accounting policy for your operations, not from a template: a generic document from the internet does not reflect the specifics of the company's transactions — and those gaps are exactly where inspectors build their claims;
We formulate contested positions deliberately: where the Tax Code allows a choice of accounting method, we lock in the option that benefits the company and is grounded in law;
We review the tax accounting policy through the eyes of the tax authority: our team supports tax audits and disputes and knows which policy wording becomes a defence argument — and which becomes grounds for additional assessments;
We align the tax accounting policy with accounting records and the company's real processes: gaps between documents and practice are a classic hook in an audit;
We update regularly: when legislation changes, we tell you exactly what needs to be changed — you do not have to track amendments on your own.

Why Us

We Know How Inspectors Read a Tax Accounting Policy

For most advisers, a tax accounting policy is a standard document. For us it is a defence tool: our team supports tax audits and represents taxpayers in disputes at every level, including the courts of the Republic of Kazakhstan. We have seen a well-drafted policy remove claims at the objections stage — and a template policy become the reason for additional assessments.

Our specialists have experience in tax authorities and Big Four firms: the document is prepared by people who understand both accounting methodology and the logic of tax control.

If everything in your current policy is in order, we will say so — and we will not sell a rewrite for the sake of a rewrite.
