Quick Reference table
| Field | Value | |---|---| | Country | Republic of Uzbekistan | | Currency | UZS (soum) | | Headline levers | Turnover tax (**1% from 2026** for small IE/self-employed); **0% PIT on dividends**; IT Park regime | | Turnover-tax threshold | ≤ UZS 1,000,000,000 (~USD 80k+) annual turnover | | Dividends | **0% PIT** for individuals (1 Apr 2022 – 31 Dec 2028) | | Anti-avoidance | Eligibility/threshold; substance |
Turnover tax rate for individual entrepreneurs and self-employed with annual turnover ≤ UZS 1 billion, from 1 Jan 2026
1%
Abolition of prior self-employed exemption
The previous exemption for self-employed below UZS 100m is abolished from 2026 — all now pay the single 1% rule.
Standard system applies above threshold
Above UZS 1 billion (or VAT-registered), the standard system applies (CIT; VAT). [RESEARCH GAP — reviewer to confirm the standard CIT/turnover rates above the threshold.]
0% PIT on dividends for individuals
Income of individuals (resident and non-resident) from dividends is exempt from PIT for 1 Apr 2022 – 31 Dec 2028.
IT Park special regime and foreign IT exporter CIT exemption
IT Park residents access a special low-tax regime for qualifying IT/software/export activity (historically very low/near-0% on certain income). Foreign IT exporters to IT Park residents have CIT exemptions (1 Feb 2025 – 1 Jan 2030) above a USD 10m export threshold. [RESEARCH GAP — reviewer to confirm the current IT Park resident rates and eligibility.]
Threshold/eligibility red line

| Anti-avoidance | Eligibility/threshold; substance |
Two strong Uzbek levers: from 1 Jan 2026 small individual entrepreneurs / self-employed pay just 1% turnover tax (down from 4%), and individuals pay 0% PIT on dividends through 2028.
This makes a company + dividend extraction very efficient: pay corporate tax, then distribute dividends tax-free at the individual level (within the window).
