      If a person is held administratively liable for carrying out a licensed type of activity in violation of the requirements for such activities, the court shall have the right to decide on suspension or prohibition of such activity. If a person is held administratively liable for carrying out a licensed type of activity without an appropriate license or for carrying out an activity requiring a different special permit, without such a special permit, the court has the right to impose an additional administrative penalty in the form of a ban on such activity for the period specified in the sanction of the Article of the Special part of the CAI.

      10. Suspension or prohibition of the activity of an individual entrepreneur or legal entity can be applied both as a basic and additional administrative penalty (part 2 of Article 42 of the CAI).

      Courts shall bear in mind that the Tax Code on certain types of taxes provides for the right of a legal entity, by its decision, to recognize a structural unit as an independent tax payer, subject to the conditions and procedures envisaged by tax legislation.

      In accordance with paragraph 1 of Article 490 of the Tax Code, payers of tax on vehicles are individuals who have objects of taxation on the ownership right , and legal entities who have objects of taxation on the right of ownership, economic management or operational management, unless otherwise established by Article 490 of the Tax Code. By its decision, a legal entity has the right to recognize its structural subdivision for vehicles registered with such a structural subdivision as an independent payer of vehicle tax in accordance with the legislation of the Republic of Kazakhstan on transport.

      Given the stated norm, a structural subdivision of a legal entity shall be subject to administrative liability for committing an administrative infraction on vehicle tax, provided that the legal entity, by its decision, recognized this structural subdivision as a payer of vehicle tax registered with the structural subdivision in the manner prescribed by law. The entry into force of such a decision in accordance with the requirements of tax legislation shall also have legal effect.

      At the same time, for certain types of taxes, only a legal entity shall bear administrative responsibility by force of the provisions of the Tax Code defining the taxpayer, so according to paragraph 1 of Article 222 of the Tax Code, corporate income tax payers are legal entities.

      The commission of an unlawful act by a structural subdivision of a legal entity that is not an independent taxpayer shall be considered repeated if earlier, during the period provided for in Article 61 of the Code of Administrative Infractions, the legal entity was held accountable for the commission of the same unlawful act by another of its structural units.
