Social Tax for IE: How to Include Yourself in Form 200.00 - FCHAIN

Social Tax for IE: How to Include Yourself in Form 200.00

 The State Revenue Committee of the Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Kazakhstan clarified the procedure for calculating social tax and completing Form 200.00 by individual entrepreneurs applying the general taxation regime. In particular, the State Revenue Committee confirmed that, when determining the headcount for social tax purposes, an individual entrepreneur also includes themselves, subject to the conditions established by the Tax Code.

 

Who an Individual Entrepreneur Includes When Calculating Social Tax?

According to paragraph 4 of Article 556 of the Tax Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan, the objects of social taxation for individual entrepreneurs and persons engaged in private practice are:

1. the social tax payer;
2. the payer’s employees.

However, certain exceptions apply. An individual entrepreneur is not included as an object of taxation if they did not receive income during the relevant tax period. Employees are also not included if no income was accrued to them. Therefore, when calculating social tax, an entrepreneur should take into account not only the number of employees but also whether the individual entrepreneur personally received income.

 

How This Is Reflected in Form 200.00

The procedure for completing Form 200.00 provides those individual entrepreneurs applying the general taxation regime indicate the number of employees including the individual entrepreneur. When completing Appendix 200.01:

1. line 01.016 I reflect income subject to social tax for the first month of the reporting quarter;
2. line 01.016 II reflects income for the second month;
3. line 01.016 III reflects income for the third month;
4. line 01.016 IV indicates the total amount for the quarter, calculated as the sum of lines I, II and III.

The relevant procedure is provided for by the rules for completing tax reporting forms approved by Order No. 695 of the Minister of Finance of the Republic of Kazakhstan dated November 12, 2025.

 

What This Means for Entrepreneurs

The clarification of the State Revenue Committee has practical significance for individual entrepreneurs applying the general taxation regime. When preparing Form 200.00, an entrepreneur should verify whether the headcount for social tax calculation purposes has been determined correctly and whether the individual entrepreneur has been included in it. At the same time, the inclusion of the entrepreneur depends on the conditions set out in Article 556 of the Tax Code. If the individual entrepreneur did not receive income during the tax period, the relevant exception should be taken into account when making the calculation. Errors in determining the headcount and objects of taxation may result in an incorrect social tax calculation and the need to amend tax reporting.

 

The State Revenue Committee Plans to Clarify the Form

The State Revenue Committee also reported that proposals to amend the title of the relevant section of Form 200.00 and the format and logical control of line 200.01.016 IV have already been taken into account in preparing amendments to Order No. 695. This should make the procedure for reflecting indicators in tax reporting clearer and reduce the risk of errors when completing the form. Conclusion: an individual entrepreneur applying the general taxation regime includes themselves in the relevant headcount when completing Form 200.00, provided that the conditions stipulated by Article 556 of the Tax Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan are met.
