Mandatory Professional Pension Contributions (MPPC)
To protect and compensate for the damage to the health of the people working in the hazardous industries, the state has provided, among other things, such a mechanism as the MPPC.
The employer is a contributor of the MPPC. It is the employer who transfers the MPPC for the employees.
Those citizens who work in the professions, the list of which is approved by the Decree of the Government of the Republic of Kazakhstan, are entitled to receive the pension savings in the form of MPPC.
The MPPC are established at the rate of 5% of the employee's monthly income, established for calculating the pension contributions in the manner determined by the Government of the Republic of Kazakhstan.
The SAPF had issued a pension provision agreement based on the MPPC (the accession agreement).
The accession agreement is concluded on the basis of submitted application for opening an individual pension account (IPA). The application is signed by three agreement parties: the SAPF, the contributor (employer) and the recipient (employee), for whom the MPPC will be paid.
The following are exempt from paying the MPPC:
- persons who have reached the retirement age, in accordance with the Law of the Republic of Kazakhstan "On the Pension Provision in the Republic of Kazakhstan";
- persons with the first and second group disabilities provided that disability is established for an indefinite manner;
- military personnel, employees of special state and law enforcement agencies who have been assigned the special titles, class ranks, as well as persons whose rights to have the special ranks, class ranks and wear the uniform have been terminated on the January 1, 2012.
The MPPC is paid in the national currency of the Republic of Kazakhstan not later than the 25th day of the month following the month of the income received. The business entities applying a special tax regime have to pay the MPPC in the manner and terms provided for by the tax legislation of the Republic of Kazakhstan.
The tax authorities control the transfer of the MPPC. If the employer does not transfer the MPPC to the employee's IPA in a timely manner (subject to the actual payment and receipt of the income by the employee), the tax authorities shall charge to pay the employer the MPPC along with the interest accrued in the amount of 2.5 times the official refinancing rate established by authorized body for the each day of the payment delay (including the day the payment is proceeded) and the amount will be transferred to the SAPF.
In cases of incomplete and (or) untimely transfer of the MPPC, the tax authorities have the right to collect the money from the employer’s bank accounts within the limits of the debt. The debt is collected on the basis of a notification sent to the employer in the manner established by the Government of the Republic of Kazakhstan.
The employer within 5 working days from the date of receipt of the notification, is obliged to submit a list of the MPPC recipients to the tax authority.

Voluntary pension contributions (VPC)
The citizens pay voluntary pension contributions on their own initiative, in any amount and within any frequency.
The voluntary pension contributions to the SAPF and (or) to the voluntary accumulation pension fund (VAPF) are made by the contributors:
- who are individuals for their own benefit from their income;
- who are individuals and legal entities for the benefit of the recipient (third party).
The contributor of the voluntary pension contributions is entitled to choose either the SAPF and (or) VAPF to pay for the voluntary pension contributions.
The rate of voluntary pension contributions and the procedure for their payment are determined by the contributor (recipient) himself. The individual who is the resident of the Republic of Kazakhstan is entitled to the tax deduction for the amount of voluntary pension contributions paid for his own. The deduction is applied in the tax period in which the date of payment of voluntary pension contributions falls.
A supporting document for the tax deduction on voluntary pension contributions is an agreement on pension provision at the expense of voluntary pension contributions (hereinafter, the agreement). The agreement is signed in person upon a visit of the contributor (recipient) to the SAPF, and the contributor and the recipient (if the agreement is signed for the benefit of the third party) or a legal representative or a trustee of the minor based on the power of attorney visit in person the SAPF to sign the agreement.
The agreement is signed at the office of SAPF in person by the contributor and (or) the recipient / trustee / legal representative.
In the event the individual (recipient) has an individual pension account that he opened in the past (hereinafter, IPA) for accumulating the voluntary pension contributions (subject to the change of the contributor under the agreement), the re-opening of the IPA for the voluntary pension contributions is not provided, though a new agreement will have be signed with the same IPA and agreement No. that were opened before, stating the current date on the new agreement signed.
