History of the holiday:
The holiday was established in 2001 to mark the creation of an independent tax service in Kazakhstan. The date, July 6, is linked to the adoption of the Law "On the Tax Service of the Republic of Kazakhstan" and the reorganization of tax authorities in the newly independent state.
In 2014, as a result of reforms, the tax service was reorganized into the Committee of State Revenues under the Ministry of Finance of Kazakhstan. Despite administrative changes, the tradition of honoring tax officers on July 6 has been preserved.

Importance of the holiday:
The tax service plays a key role in forming the state budget, which funds healthcare, education, infrastructure, and social programs. The holiday emphasizes the significance of diligent tax work and the development of a modern, digital, and transparent tax system.
Interesting fact:
Kazakhstan was one of the first countries in Central Asia to implement electronic declaration and digital services for taxpayers, which greatly simplified the tax payment process and increased transparency.
