The State Tax Committee (STC) is working to modernize and expand its Data Processing Center (DPC). The project on the basis of “big data" will be the source for an automated system of monitoring the VAT payment. 
 
“Now the STC looks at its data from the point of view of the concept of “big data”. This is really big data, it has to be comprehended in the process of project implementation and put at the service of the state. Expansion of the DPC at the STC will allow to combine the flow of all the received data in real time,” the State Tax Committee said. 
 
According to the Committee, an experiment was successfully carried out to introduce electronic invoices for business entities in Chirchik city (Tashkent region), Navoi and Syrdarya regions. 
 
With the help of the new system, almost in real time, monitoring of the VAT payment chains will be conducted. The system will allow to identify gaps in the “taxpayer-counterparty” chains, the use of evasion schemes will be economically inefficient. Therefore, the VAT charges will increase. 
 
It is planned to transfer business to online cash registers, which will also become a serious tool for analyzing “big data”. 
 
The peculiarity of the new cash desks is that the amount of payment, quantity and name of the goods (services), VAT and other details determined by law, will be transferred directly to the Data Processing Center at the STC. This is business transparency, creating an environment of trust between entrepreneurs and tax authorities, since prompt information and their automated analysis does not require additional checks. 
 
Expansion of the DPC and modernization of the technological processes of tax administration will reduce the amount of manual operations, processing information, maximally formalize and automate procedures and significantly improve the quality of taxpayer services. 
 
Today, DPC users are more than 11,000 employees of tax authorities. The DPC data is exchanged with external users of 53 ministries and departments, as well as with more than 650,000 users of the personal account of taxpayer as part of electronic services. 
 
Intensity of information exchange is about 15,000 transactions per second. It is resulting in a daily increase in the DPC information by more than 9,5 GB and total tax information exceeds 22 TB. 
 
The project is carried out with technical assistance of the World Bank and the Federal Tax Service of the Russian Federation. Implementation measures have already been discussed with experts from Russia, India, Korea, France, Azerbaijan and Georgia.
