Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.com) -- At a video selector meeting held on 8 July 2020, chaired by Shavkat Mirziyoyev, measures were discussed to develop entrepreneurship in the regions and unconditionally secure budget revenues. This was reported by the press service of the State Tax Committee.
The head of state noted that the only way out of a pandemic with a strong economy is to create an enabling environment for small businesses and entrepreneurship.
"Tax Service - Assistant Entrepreneur"
Responsible for creating an enabling environment for small businesses and entrepreneurship are the tax authorities, which literally should become partners for each entrepreneur. The new system "Tax Service - Assistant Entrepreneur" - sets high requirements when performing tasks relevant to the business community.
What does it mean? The state tax service will now:
- accompany the entrepreneur from the first step to the business sector, advise in choosing a convenient and profitable tax regime, help to function in the future;
- provide assistance to entrepreneurs who have suspended their activities - return to their previous working regime, professionally advise on accounting, filling out reports, solving problems;
- protect from excessive costs associated with violation of tax laws, and warn of violations detected without punishing.
Restoring the activities of business entities is one of the main tasks of the tax service and a guarantee of replenishment of the budget.
As a result of the relaxation of quarantine requirements, many enterprises resumed their activities. Nevertheless, it is necessary to revive the activities of 69 thousand entrepreneurs. Over 9 months, 70 percent of enterprises will be operational, and by the end of the year, all of these entities.
As a result of efforts made in recent years to reform the tax system, in 2019, 12 trillion soums remained at the disposal of enterprises. It is expected that in 2020 another 11 trillion soums will remain.
In addition, starting from 1 July, for the first time, a mechanism is introduced for returning part of the value added tax to entrepreneurs. This innovation will allow them to save 700 billion soums in the form of working capital in the third quarter of this year alone.
Poverty Reduction - 4 Sector Work
The meeting also highlighted ongoing work to reduce poverty. The President noted the need for employment of representatives of at least 257 thousand low-income families.
The new local system will be developed on the basis of sectors for the integrated socio-economic development of the regions. One of the four sectors is assigned to the State Tax Service. During the quarantine period, employees of this structure activated the targeted approach in identifying and eliminating urgent problems - employment, development of entrepreneurship, attracting investments, as well as social protection of the population, including targeted support for families in need.
4th sector in the coverage of the country:
2,055 gatherings of citizens of the mahalla;
7.6 million people, of which 360 thousand, or 4.7% became needy during the pandemic period;
2 million families, of which - for about 90 thousand of them, or 4.5% during the pandemic, social support is required.
In the course of practical measures on the part of the 4th sector, the employment issue was positively resolved for almost 50% of those in need.
For the rest, specific measures are indicated in accordance with which a choice of permanent or seasonal paid activity in 10 areas is proposed. That is, in addition to assistance, the 4th sector assists in ensuring a stable income for the population.
Thus, the bodies of the State Tax Service will directly participate in the restoration of business in the country, providing entrepreneurs with all kinds of assistance, targeted support to enterprises and the public.
