Within the
framework of the closed plenary session of the General Assembly, the
presentation of the application of the Tax Committee of the Republic of
Uzbekistan for joining IOTA as an associate member took place.
Speaking at
the Plenary session, F.Pulatov presented the key areas of tax reforms being
implemented in Uzbekistan under the leadership of respected President Shavkat
Miromonovich Mirziyoyev. It was noted that in recent years, the country has
consistently developed a modern, technological and customer-oriented tax system
based on digital services, data analysis, a risk-based approach and support for
voluntary compliance with tax obligations.
Special
attention was paid to the development of the digital ecosystem of tax
administration, automated risk analysis, as well as proactive tax calculation.
It was emphasized that these measures are aimed at reducing administrative
barriers, increasing transparency of the tax system and creating a predictable
business environment for national and foreign investors.
At the
closed Plenary Session of the IOTA General Assembly, following a secret ballot,
Uzbekistan was accepted as a member of this reputable European organization.
Membership
in IOTA will allow Uzbekistan to actively participate in professional exchange
with tax administrations of European countries, introduce international best
practices in the field of tax administration, digitalization, risk management
and compliance, as well as share its own experience of large-scale digital
transformation of the tax system.
During the
ongoing General Assembly, participants will discuss topical issues of the use
of artificial intelligence and behavioral analytics in tax administration, the
development of intelligent compliance tools, risk management, transparency of
automated solutions and future models of tax administration until 2030.
Uzbekistan's
admission to IOTA has become an important confirmation of the country's
consistent course towards modernizing the tax system, strengthening
international cooperation and integrating modern tax administrations into the
professional space.
