Tax authorities will audit businesses in the event of declining revenue or job cuts
If an enterprise experiences a decrease in income or the number of jobs, a mahalla tax inspector will visit it to investigate the reasons. Together with the hokim's assistant and a banker, they will be able to offer tax deferrals, loan extensions, working capital financing, or assistance with sales markets or exports.
Tax authorities will visit businesses in case of declining revenue or job cuts
The tax authorities of Uzbekistan must more actively help entrepreneurs expand their activities and preserve jobs. President Shavkat Mirziyoyev announced this on September 24 at a meeting in Andijan.
At the meeting, it was noted that in the region, a number of enterprises experienced a decrease in turnover and the number of jobs, and some entrepreneurs ceased their activities.
The President emphasized that tax inspectors working in mahallas must investigate the causes of such situations and participate in finding solutions.
Now, in the event of a drop in income or the number of jobs, a mahalla tax inspector will visit the enterprise. They must study the problem and, together with the khokim's assistant and the mahalla banker, prepare proposals for the district headquarters.
Among the possible measures mentioned are the deferral of tax payments, extension of loan terms, provision of working capital, and assistance in finding sales markets and entering export markets.
At the same time, it is planned to take into account the specifics of each business and the time it needs to reach profitability.
In addition, youth employment will become one of the criteria for evaluating the performance of mahalla tax inspectors and their remuneration.
The institution of mahalla tax inspectors has been developing since 2024. At that time, the Tax Committee announced its intention to change the approach to the work of tax authorities so that they would become not only a regulatory body but also "assistants to entrepreneurs." In 2026, the authorities also began restructuring the work of the entire "mahalla seven," including khokims' assistants, bankers, and tax officers.
