Use this skill whenever asked about Uzbekistan personal income tax (PIT) for individuals, self-employed persons, and individual entrepreneurs. Trigger on phrases like "how much income tax in Uzbekistan", "Uzbekistan PIT", "soliq", "12% flat tax", "INPS pension", "social tax", "individual entrepreneur turnover tax", "non-resident tax Uzbekistan", "annual income declaration", "dividends tax Uzbekistan", "payroll Uzbekistan", "minimum wage UZS", "BHM/BRV base amount", or any question about computing or filing personal income tax for a resident or non-resident individual, an employee, a sole trader, or an individual entrepreneur in Uzbekistan.

Conservative Defaults
| Ambiguity | Default |
|---|---|
| Unknown residency status | Treat as non-resident until 183-day test is documented (non-resident rates differ by income type) |
| Unknown income type | Treat as employment / general income at 12% (the universal default) |
| Unknown employer category for social tax | 12% (standard non-budget) — only use 25% for a confirmed state budget organisation |
| Dividend source unknown (JSC vs other) | Treat as NON-JSC dividend at 5% (do not assume the JSC exemption) |
| Designated-area 1% rate | Do NOT apply unless the taxpayer's location is documented as a qualifying area |
| Self-employed turnover regime (2026+) | 1% turnover tax + minimum 1 BHM/month social tax — do NOT assume the old sub-UZS 100m exemption applies |
| INPS treatment | Carve-out within the 12% PIT — never add as an extra deduction |
Recommended -- full bank statement(s) for the tax year in CSV/PDF/pasted text, employer payroll records, dividend/interest vouchers, prior-year declaration, and (for self-employed) turnover ledger.
Ideal -- complete income summary by source, social-tax payment records, INPS contribution records, individual-entrepreneur turnover-tax filings, and (for departing expats) date of departure.
This is the deterministic pre-classifier. When a UZS bank-statement transaction matches a pattern below, apply the treatment directly. Match by case-insensitive substring on the counterparty name or description. If multiple patterns match, use the most specific. If none match, fall through to Tier 1 rules in Section 5.

All figures in UZS. Rates per Section 1 (PwC / LegalAct.uz). Arithmetic recomputed end-to-end.
Input line:
31/03/2025 ; NBU ; ISH HAQI MART ; [employer] ; +5,000,000.00 ; UZS
Reasoning: Resident employment income. PIT = 12% of 5,000,000 = 600,000. Of that 600,000, the INPS carve-out is 0.1% of income = 0.1% × 5,000,000 = 5,000 redirected to the individual pension account (the remaining 595,000 goes to the budget). The INPS is NOT additional. Net pay to employee = 5,000,000 − 600,000 = 4,400,000.
Employer side (not deducted from employee): social tax 12% × 5,000,000 = 600,000.
Classification: Gross 5,000,000; PIT 600,000 (incl. INPS 5,000); Net 4,400,000.
Input: Same employee, gross 5,000,000 in January, February and March.
Reasoning (cumulative method, LegalAct.uz): PIT is computed cumulatively: PIT(Jan–current month) − PIT(Jan–previous month).
Classification: March PIT withheld = 600,000.
Input line:
15/05/2025 ; Kapitalbank ; DIVIDEND ; OOO [company] ; +10,000,000.00 ; UZS
Reasoning: Resident dividend from a limited-liability company (not joint-stock). Rate = 5%. PIT = 5% × 10,000,000 = 500,000. (If the payer were a joint-stock company, the dividend would be PIT-EXEMPT through 31 Dec 2028.)
Classification: Dividend 10,000,000; PIT 500,000; net 9,500,000.
Input line:
20/06/2025 ; Hamkorbank ; FREIGHT SERVICES ; [non-resident carrier] ; +50,000,000.00 ; UZS
Reasoning: Non-resident transportation (freight) services income. Rate = 6%. PIT = 6% × 50,000,000 = 3,000,000.
Classification: Freight income 50,000,000; non-resident PIT 3,000,000.
Input: Individual entrepreneur, annual turnover 800,000,000 in 2026 (≤ UZS 1bn).
Reasoning: From 1 January 2026 turnover ≤ UZS 1bn attracts a 1% turnover tax (PwC significant developments). Turnover tax = 1% × 800,000,000 = 8,000,000. Plus minimum social tax of 1 BHM/month = 412,000 × 12 = 4,944,000 regardless of turnover (PwC). The old sub-UZS-100m exemption is abolished from 1 Jan 2026 — do not apply it. Total = 8,000,000 + 4,944,000 = 12,944,000.
Classification: Turnover tax 8,000,000; social tax 4,944,000; total 12,944,000.
Input: Resident employee, total annual employment income 60,000,000.
Reasoning: PIT = 12% × 60,000,000 = 7,200,000. INPS carve-out = 0.1% × 60,000,000 = 60,000 (part of the 7,200,000, not extra). Net = 60,000,000 − 7,200,000 = 52,800,000. Employer social tax (standard) = 12% × 60,000,000 = 7,200,000 (employer cost, not deducted).
Classification: Gross 60,000,000; PIT 7,200,000 (incl. INPS 60,000); Net 52,800,000.

Social tax employer cost clarification
Social tax is an EMPLOYER cost on the wage fund. It is not deducted from the employee's gross pay. Default to 12% unless the entity is a confirmed state budget organisation (25%) or qualifies for a documented reduced rate.PwC
INPS Carve-Out
| Item | Rate | Mechanism | Source | |---|---|---|---| | INPS (Individual Accumulated Pension Account) | **0.1%** of employee gross income | Carved **OUT OF** the 12% PIT already withheld and redirected to the employee's individual accumulative pension account. **Not** an additional levy on top of the 12%. | LegalAct.uz |LegalAct.uz
INPS mechanism critical note
Critical: The INPS 0.1% does NOT increase the employee's burden. Of the 12% PIT withheld, 0.1 percentage point of income is diverted to the individual pension account and 11.9 percentage points go to the budget. The total deducted from the employee is still 12%. [RESEARCH GAP — reviewer to confirm] the INPS mechanism is sourced to LegalAct.uz (a secondary site).

Conservative Defaults
| Ambiguity | Default | |---|---| | Unknown residency status | Treat as **non-resident** until 183-day test is documented (non-resident rates differ by income type) | | Unknown income type | Treat as employment / general income at **12%** (the universal default) | | Unknown employer category for social tax | **12%** (standard non-budget) — only use 25% for a confirmed state budget organisation | | Dividend source unknown (JSC vs other) | Treat as NON-JSC dividend at **5%** (do not assume the JSC exemption) | | Designated-area 1% rate | Do NOT apply unless the taxpayer's location is documented as a qualifying area | | Self-employed turnover regime (2026+) | **1% turnover tax** + minimum **1 BHM/month** social tax — do NOT assume the old sub-UZS 100m exemption applies | | INPS treatment | Carve-out within the 12% PIT — never add as an extra deduction |
Minimum viable inputs
Minimum viable -- confirmation of (1) residency status (resident if present in Uzbekistan 183+ days in any consecutive 12-month period ending in the tax year — PwC), (2) the type of income (employment, dividends, interest, rental, freight, self-employment/turnover), and (3) the gross amounts in UZS for the calendar year.PwC
Refusal if minimum missing
Refusal if minimum is missing -- SOFT WARN. No information on residency OR income type = hard stop (the rate cannot be selected). Income type known but no documentation = proceed with reviewer warning: "This computation was produced without source documents. The reviewer must verify residency, income classification, and amounts against primary records."
R-UZ-1
Residency unknown. "Residency determines which rate applies (residents 12%/5%; non-residents 12%/10%/6%). This skill cannot select a rate without knowing whether the individual was present in Uzbekistan 183+ days in the relevant 12-month period. Please confirm."
R-UZ-2
Corporate income tax / legal entities. "This skill covers individuals, sole traders and individual entrepreneurs only. Companies file corporate income tax / turnover tax separately. Escalate to a qualified Uzbekistan tax practitioner."
R-UZ-3
Designated-area 1% rate claimed. "The 1% PIT rate applies only to specific designated areas (e.g. Sokh, Shahimardan/Chungara enclaves). Do not apply it without documentary proof of the taxpayer's qualifying location. Escalate to a reviewer."
R-UZ-4
New 2026 special tax regime for foreign citizens. "A special tax regime for foreign citizens is reported to be introduced from January 2026, but its rate, eligibility and any minimum-salary threshold are unconfirmed. Do not compute under it. Escalate to a qualified practitioner. [RESEARCH GAP — reviewer to confirm]"
R-UZ-5
Penalties / arrears / enforcement. "Specific late-filing and late-payment penalty percentages and interest (peni) are not confirmed in the available sources. Do not advise on penalty amounts. Escalate to a qualified practitioner. [RESEARCH GAP — reviewer to confirm]"
R-UZ-6
VAT / corporate turnover for entities. "This skill covers personal income tax only. For Uzbekistan VAT or company turnover tax, use the relevant Uzbekistan VAT / corporate skill."
