Guest Lecture by Partners from Shymkent

On November 5, 2026, as part of the “Law and Order” initiative and the ongoing partnership between the Kazakh-American Free University (KAFU) and Miras University, a guest lecture titled “Legal Aspects of VAT Collection on Imported Goods” was held for students of the Department of Law and International Relations.

The speaker was Talgat B. Tlenshin, a senior lecturer in the Law Department at Miras University and Head of the Analysis and Risk Management Division at the State Revenue Department for the city of Shymkent.

The lecture covered the legal framework and practical nuances of Value Added Tax (VAT) collection on imported goods, as well as the role of state revenue authorities in ensuring compliance with tax legislation. Through real-world examples, the speaker demonstrated the importance of correctly applying tax regulations when engaging in foreign economic activity.

The lecture enabled students to deepen their knowledge of tax and customs regulation, gain insight into the practical operations of state revenue authorities, and better understand the role of tax discipline in upholding the rule of law and ensuring the state’s economic security.

We extend our gratitude to Talgat B. Tlenshin, Miras University, and the State Revenue Department for the city of Shymkent for this informative lecture and for our fruitful collaboration!
