A scheme for illegally obtaining cashback through artificial VAT worth 125 billion soums was uncovered in Fergana.

A large-scale fraud scheme aimed at obtaining illegal cashback by generating artificial VAT in the Fergana region has been uncovered. The regional tax department reported this.

 

According to the information, during operational analyses conducted to prevent the shadow economy, it was found that the LLCs "E.F.F." and "F.E.O.Z.", led by citizen T.Z., had formalized electronic invoices in May of this year for the purchase of a total of 1.2 trillion soums worth of flour and butter products from the LLC "T.B.S.E.", registered in the city of Termiz.

 

When tax authorities examined the VAT reports of the enterprises and the warehouses at their legal addresses, it became known that no products were actually delivered to the enterprises in Fergana, and not a single soum was transferred for the goods.

 

According to preliminary conclusions, the enterprise in Termiz attempted to generate artificial VAT worth 125.4 billion soums for the two LLCs in Fergana.

 

As a result of operational measures, the VAT certificates of the LLCs "E.F.F." and "F.E.O.Z." were temporarily suspended, clarified VAT reports were accepted, and the artificial VAT of 125.4 billion soums was written off.

 

According to the tax department, this scheme was aimed at selling fake fiscal receipts through social networks and creating an opportunity to obtain illegal cashback based on them.

 

The materials collected regarding the situation have been submitted to law enforcement agencies for legal action.

 

Tax authorities called on citizens to register in the "Soliq" mobile application only genuine fiscal receipts issued for purchases they have made and services they have used.

 

It was reminded that registering fake receipts distributed through social networks or other individuals is contrary to the law, and liability has been established for this.
