At a press conference at the "Kabar" agency, the head of the Department for Debt Collection and Local Taxes of the GNS of the KR, Turatbek Kulchoroев, spoke about the tax payment requirement (NPT), which helps taxpayers timely learn about their debts without additional costs.
He also dispelled myths that tax authorities have access to citizens' bank accounts.
“There is nothing alarming about this mechanism. Claims about our direct access to bank accounts are not true. Our service sends NPTs to banks, and they, following the established procedure, issue the requirements,” he explained.
Kulchoroев noted that the NPT has existed since 1996, when the first version of the Tax Code was adopted. Changes have only affected the expansion of the application of this tool: since January 1 of this year, the NPT has also been applied to individuals, in addition to legal entities and individual entrepreneurs.The taxes that most often concern citizens include property tax and income tax.
He added that the NPT is a preventive measure that helps avoid overpayments.
“Suppose a citizen is required to pay 2,000 soms for property per year, but for some reason forgets about it. The statute of limitations is 6 years. If not paid, the debt can grow to 12,000 soms, and with penalties — up to 24,000 soms. Issuing an NPT at an early stage helps prevent such situations and avoid double payments,” emphasized Kulchoroев.
