Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.com) - Today, information has spread on social networks that tax officials oblige Urikzor market entrepreneurs to pay for non-working days and force them to transfer charity funds to Sardoba district of Syrdarya region. This was reported by the press service of the State Tax Committee.

It is worth noting that charity in our country is voluntary, and entrepreneurs who provide assistance to those in need can take advantage of a number of tax benefits.

Information about entrepreneurs providing charitable assistance, as well as people who receive it, is generated on the special website of the Public Service Development Agency “saxovat.argos.uz”.

The information posted here is the basis for the application of tax benefits established by No. UP-5986 dated April 27, 2020.

The State Tax Committee promptly studied information on coercion to charity of entrepreneurs of the Urikzor market by tax officials. We assure that this information is not true.

Dear businessmen!

If you encounter facts of coercion to charity on the part of employees of the State Tax Service, we ask you to immediately report this to the “telephone hotline” of the State Tax Committee 71-244-98-98.

Upon confirmation of such facts, the management of the STC will take appropriate measures in respect of these employees.
