The inspections were carried out as part of a pilot project to introduce this system.
During the raids on the Kulja HOGO café chain, serious violations were identified. Three establishments belonging to the same owner were using unregistered programs to keep so-called “shadow” accounts. This means that some of the sales were not reflected in the official fiscal system.
It was also established that payments were accepted via QR codes registered to individuals rather than the company.
In addition, cash was found in the cash registers that was not confirmed by fiscal receipts.
According to preliminary data, since connecting to the FPO, the amount of unaccounted revenue has amounted to about 12 million soms. The estimated amount of unpaid taxes is approximately 648,000 KGS.
We remind you that the use of double accounting and concealment of income is a violation of the law. Such actions are punishable by fines or criminal penalties if signs of a crime are found.
The tax service continues its inspection activities.
