The Tax Committee of Uzbekistan announced increased control over P2P transfers and operations on individuals' bank cards. The agency explains that these measures are aimed at identifying hidden business revenues and reducing the share of the shadow economy, especially in segments where transactions bypass official cash registers.

The reason for the clarifications was reports in social networks and Telegram channels about citizens being summoned to tax authorities due to large card turnovers and a high number of transfers between individuals. The agency clarified that cases are being analyzed where businesses effectively accept payment for goods and services to personal accounts of employees or managers, bypassing official reporting.

According to the tax authorities, such schemes lead to an understatement of the tax base and a shortfall in budget revenues. In some cases, reported by users, it involves thousands of transfers over several years and turnovers of hundreds of millions of sums. At the same time, most checks are still at the analysis stage, and taxpayers are offered either to adjust their reporting or to confirm the origin of funds with documents.
