In Uzbekistan, a tax database breakdown led to a 30 million-dollar loss

Uzbekistan is currently in the midst of a voluntary error correction window for businesses to address tax deduction errors in its electronic tax services system. This process, announced by President Mirziyoyev in August 2025, aims to resolve any discrepancies without penalties and runs until November 1, 2025 [3].

Recent reports have shown that an error in the system resulted in funds being deducted from 30,100 taxpayers, with more than 10,000 people having amounts ranging from 100,000 Uzbek sums ($7.94) to 1 million Uzbek sums ($79.89) deducted [1]. As of the latest update, funds have been returned to an additional 9,500 citizens, bringing the total to 20,600 [1].

The tax committee of Uzbekistan has reported the return of funds to 20,600 citizens as of 6:00 PM local time [1]. However, the exact amount of funds returned to taxpayers is still not specified.

The government-level initiative supporting tax error rectification and compliance improvement is reflected in a large-scale tax amnesty and correction opportunity [3]. No detailed official update on specific technical fixes or electronic system modifications for the tax deduction errors was found.

The rectification process is an ongoing effort, with no further information about the cause of the error or any repercussions or investigations regarding the glitch having been reported. The tax committee of Uzbekistan has not yet released any details about the funds deducted from the newly affected taxpayers.

For updates on this news, the Telegram channel @expert_mag is providing regular updates. The glitch in the electronic tax services system in Uzbekistan (my3.soliq.uz) is still ongoing.
