Double accounting was used and income was concealed.
The State Tax Service reported the discovery of facts regarding the concealment of revenue amounting to 12 million soms in the "Kuldja HOGO" cafe chain located in Bishkek.
According to the tax authorities, violations were found during an inspection conducted as part of a pilot project for the implementation of fiscal software that ensures the transmission of sales data to government agencies.
According to the STS, three establishments owned by the same owner used unregistered programs, which allowed for so-called "shadow" accounting. This led to some sales not being recorded in the official fiscal system.
Additionally, payments were accepted via QR codes that were registered to individuals rather than the company itself. Cash was also found at the cash register without supporting fiscal receipts.
Preliminary data shows that since the connection to the fiscal software, the unaccounted revenue amounted to approximately 12 million soms, with the estimated amount of unpaid taxes around 648 thousand soms.
The agency reminded that the use of double accounting and concealment of income is a serious offense, for which penalties range from fines to criminal liability.
