Cases of abuse of registration of checks for VAT refund have been revealed

    The State creates conditions for social support of vulnerable segments of the population. One of such measures is the introduction from May 1 of this year of a mechanism for receiving cashback for a certain group of essential goods by returning VAT paid (12%) to individuals included in the Unified Register of Social Protection.

    Low-income families are included in the Unified Register of Social Protection.

    According to the press service of the State Tax Committee, 4,534 people took advantage of this opportunity in four days.

    However, there are cases of abuse of the right to receive such cashback. For example, a citizen T. S. for the purpose of VAT refund registered a check for 650 million soums in the Soliq mobile application, a citizen M. A. scanned a check for 481 million soums, which contradicts the very idea of providing social cashback to poor people.

    In this regard, we ask citizens not to provide third parties with access to their account in the Soliq application and not to allow them to register questionable checks. Since such actions lead to the need for additional verification of the submitted information, which may delay cashback payments to other persons who really need social support.
