According to information from the State Tax Service (STS), three establishments owned by a single owner were using unregistered programs for shadow accounting. This resulted in a significant portion of revenue not being reflected in official reports. It was also discovered that employees were accepting payments through QR codes registered to private individuals, which is against the law.
During the inspection, cash was found in the café registers, but without fiscal receipts confirming their legality. The estimated volume of hidden revenue amounted to about 12 million soms, while the amount of unpaid taxes was around 648 thousand soms.
Tax authorities emphasize that concealing income and maintaining double accounting are criminal offenses, which may lead to both administrative and criminal sanctions. The verification work is ongoing.
