Akylbek Japarov imposes temporary moratorium on installation of cash registers
Chairman of the Cabinet of Ministers of Kyrgyzstan Akylbek Japarov imposed a 10-day moratorium on the installation of cash registers, and also canceled penalties.
«I agree to consider the licenses issue. We can set its cost depending on the location of a particular retail facility. If, for example, a store is located closer to Ala-Too square, then the cost of a license will be higher, if it is in residential areas, it will be lower. Gather 10 people from different regions of Kyrgyzstan. We will try to find solutions together. Invoices will not concern you, this applies only to suppliers,» he said.
Rallies against mandatory installation of cash registers are repeatedly held in the republic in the last six months. More than 200 entrepreneurs participated in the protest today.
On June 11, the Chairman of the Cabinet of Ministers has already met with entrepreneurs working at Dordoi Food market in the capital. He told them about the need to install cash registers, explaining that the process is aimed at reducing the shadow economy and smuggling, as well as implementation of social obligations assumed by the state. Apparently, the official’s arguments did not convince the sellers.
