A strange incident occurred in the Kashkadarya region: tax officials entered a school and handed out summonses to second-grade students, demanding that their parents pay taxes. This event sparked widespread discussion and outrage on social media.
The tax inspectors interrupted the educational process, violating school rules, and asked the children to pass on the summonses to their parents, reminding them of the need to pay taxes. Witnesses noted that the officials essentially forced the children to carry out tasks that were completely outside their competence and rights.
The State Tax Committee of Uzbekistan quickly responded to the incident. The press service of the agency stated that “the state tax authorities find this situation in one of the schools in the Kashkadarya region unacceptable and strongly condemn it.” An internal investigation into the matter has been initiated.
The office of the Children’s Ombudsman clarified that the incident took place at school No. 14 in Nishan District. “It is unacceptable for outsiders, who are not participants in the educational process, to interfere with lessons, violate rules, and make illegal demands of children! Children are not responsible for their parents’ tax obligations, and under no circumstances should they be involved in this process or subjected to any warnings. This contradicts the constitutional and legal rights and interests of the child,” the Ombudsman emphasized in a statement.
We hope that those responsible for such actions will be held accountable to prevent similar incidents in the future.
