According to information from the STS, three cafés owned by the same proprietor were found to be using unauthorized programs for shadow accounting, which allowed them to conceal part of their revenue from official accounting. It was also established that employees were accepting payments via QR codes registered to private individuals, which is a violation of current legislation.
During the inspection, cash was found in the establishments' cash registers; however, confirming fiscal receipts were absent. The preliminary estimate of concealed revenue amounts to approximately 12 million soms, while the tax arrears are approximately 648 thousand soms.
The tax authority emphasizes that concealing income and maintaining double accounting are serious offenses that can lead to both administrative and criminal consequences. The inspection work is ongoing.
