A fraudulent scheme aimed at illegally obtaining cashback through value-added tax (VAT) worth 125.4 billion soums has been uncovered in the Fergana region. This was reported by the regional Tax Department.
According to reports, a major violation was exposed during operational analyses conducted by the Tax Department. It was found that under the leadership of citizen T.Z., the limited liability companies "E.F.F." and "F.E.O.Z." were established in the city of Fergana.
In May of this year, these enterprises registered electronic invoices stating that they had allegedly purchased a total of 1.2 trillion soums worth of flour and butter products from "T.B.S.E." LLC, which is registered in the city of Termez, Surkhandarya region.
When tax authorities examined the VAT reports of the enterprises and the warehouses at their legal addresses, it turned out that no products had actually been delivered to the Fergana-based companies, nor had any payments been made for the goods.
According to the Tax Department, through these actions, the enterprise in Termez attempted to generate artificial VAT in the amount of 125.4 billion soums in favor of the two LLCs in Fergana.
Subsequently, the VAT certificates of "E.F.F." and "F.E.O.Z." LLCs were temporarily suspended. The clarified VAT reports of the enterprises were accepted, and the artificial VAT of 125.4 billion soums was written off.
According to preliminary data, this scheme was organized with the aim of selling fake fiscal receipts through social networks and creating an opportunity to obtain illegal cashback funds based on them.
