1. What bulk payouts are
Bulk payouts mean paying rewards to many self-employed contractors at once for completed work: couriers, drivers, technicians, tutors, cleaners and others. When there are dozens, hundreds or thousands of contractors, transferring to each one by hand takes hours and risks errors in the details.
2. How the process works: the register
At the core is a payout register: a list where each contractor has an IIN, an amount and a purpose. Then the system:
- checks the active self-employed status for each row;
- makes the payouts for the whole register in a single batch;
- generates a receipt and closing documents for each payout.
The register can be uploaded as a file or sent automatically via API/integration — convenient for aggregators and marketplaces with a constant flow of tasks.
3. To which cards and in what timeframe
Payouts go to the contractors' personal cards at Kazakhstan banks. Through a payment provider, crediting is usually instant or within the day — the exact timing depends on the receiving bank and the time of the transaction. You must pay to the contractor's own card, not to third parties, otherwise the “payout → receipt” link breaks and risks grow (more in the article on incorrect work with the self-employed).
4. The 4% tax and documents
For each payout the 4% single social payment is withheld and remitted, and the contractor generates a receipt in e-Salyq Business. For accounting, the company assembles a set: contract, act and receipt — this preserves the right to a corporate income tax deduction. More in the articles on corporate income tax deductions and on the e-Salyq receipt.
5. The risks of manual payouts
- no automatic status check — you may pay someone whose status is inactive;
- errors in details and manual reconciliation of amounts;
- no single register and no closing documents for each payout;
- with a large volume of transfers from personal accounts, bank monitoring (AML/CFT) attention is higher.
6. How it works in AKJET
Crediting times depend on the receiving bank and the payment provider. Tax aspects are based on the Tax Code of Kazakhstan (Law No. 214-VIII of 18 July 2025) and clarifications from the State Revenue Committee. This material is for reference.
