Tax Committee: Online cash register usage is mandatory!

The State Tax Committee of the Republic of Uzbekistan has issued an important warning for entrepreneurs. This was reported by Zamin.uz.

According to the press service, the use of online cash registers or virtual cash register systems is mandatory in service and trade processes. This requirement has been introduced in accordance with tax legislation, and its violation leads to serious liability.

According to the Committee, whether the customer makes payment via terminal or pays in cash, in any case, a receipt with a QR code and fiscal mark must be provided. Furthermore, the use of payment terminals registered under another person's name is strictly prohibited.

For payments made through e-commerce platforms or electronic payment systems, an electronic fiscal receipt must be issued to the buyer. If these requirements are violated, fines will be imposed in accordance with Article 221 of the Tax Code.

In particular, trading without a cash register or payment terminal, failure to provide mandatory documents (receipts, checks, etc.), or refusal of payment via terminal results in a fine of 5 million soums. Additionally, trading or providing services using unregistered cash registers or terminals is subject to a fine of 7 million soums.

It is especially noted that using cash registers that do not meet technical requirements or are faulty, as well as using terminals registered under another person's name, results in a fine of 20 million soums. Compliance with these requirements increases entrepreneurs' responsibility and supports lawful business activities.
