In a recent operation, employees of the State Tax Service of Kyrgyzstan executed a tax raid control at a motor oil storage warehouse in Bash-Dobo village, located in the Uzgen district of the Osh region. The inspection revealed a staggering 23.111 tons of motor oil that lacked the required excise stamps, with an estimated value exceeding 3.222 million soms.
The authorities have transferred the collected materials to law enforcement agencies for further legal assessment. This operation underscores the State Tax Service’s ongoing commitment to identify unaccounted goods and ensure compliance with tax legislation.
The crackdown on illegal goods marks a continued effort by Kyrgyz authorities to uphold tax regulations and prevent smuggling activities within the country. The State Tax Service has emphasized the importance of maintaining a fair and transparent market, and this intervention is a significant step in their campaign against tax evasion.
As the situation develops, further updates are expected as law enforcement agencies launch their investigations into the origins and distribution networks of the seized motor oil.
