‘What makes you think that by giving freedom to small entrepreneurs, we are taking a risk with collections?’ - this was the question posed by the head of the State Tax Service of Kyrgyzstan, Almambet Shykmamatov, in response to possible concerns about a decline in tax revenues.

He emphasised that the main task of the tax service is not only to support small businesses, but also to detect splitting schemes among large taxpayers and to stop false declaration among big players in various industries.

Almambet Shykmatov noted the importance of strengthening analytics and improving tax control to minimise the risks associated with tax evasion. It is important, he said, to identify all types of schemes that allow large companies to underestimate tax liabilities, which will help improve tax administration and ensure a fair distribution of the tax burden among all participants in the economy.

We shall remind you that the day before the President signed a decree aimed at improving tax administration and supporting entrepreneurs.
