The General Transport Prosecutor’s Office, KazTransOil JSC, authorized government bodies and Kazakhstan-China Pipeline LLP ensured that 3.3 billion tenge in taxes was paid to the state budget.
At KazTransOil’s initiative, amendments were made to national standard ST RK 1474-2016, “Trunk Oil Pipelines. Instructions for Oil Accounting.” The amendments set out how a trunk pipeline owner should record excess oil arising from permissible measurement errors during transportation.
The amendments took effect on March 1, 2024, establishing a regulatory basis for accounting for the relevant oil volumes. In reviewing compliance in trunk pipeline transport, the General Transport Prosecutor’s Office focused on proper accounting of oil resources and related tax obligations.
