Taxpayers evading taxes and inspectors underpaying taxes have been identified.
A preliminary investigation conducted by the Department of the Prosecutor General's Office jointly with the Tax Committee revealed that officials of six limited liability companies (LLCs) and other involved individuals illegally reimbursed 32.6 billion soums in value-added tax (VAT) from the state budget. Furthermore, they sold products worth 195.9 billion soums in cash without depositing the proceeds, a gross violation of trade regulations. As a result, they evaded taxes totaling 42.5 billion soums.
During the same investigation, it was discovered that responsible employees of the State Tax Administration of Tashkent Region, while conducting audits at the aforementioned LLCs, issued audit reports without assessing 5.2 billion soums in taxes. These actions resulted in particularly significant damage to the state and society.
A criminal case has been opened under the relevant articles of the Criminal Code, and investigative actions are currently underway.
