Uzbekistan for business, in brief

What to know before you send a request. Every point links to its source.

  • Most founders open an LLC. A foreign company can also open a representative office.1
  • Companies register through my.gov.uz or a Public Services Centre. Online applications are filed after registering or logging in on the Single Portal of Interactive Public Services.1
  • Once a correct application is filed, state registration is completed in real time and takes no more than 30 minutes. Document preparation isn’t included in that time.1
  • No general minimum capital is prescribed for an ordinary LLC, although licensing rules may set one. Separate thresholds apply to enterprise-with-foreign-investment status.1, 5
  • A foreign national may be appointed as director, but usually needs confirmation of the right to work before performing the role.6
  • Since 1 June 2026, Uzbek legal entities with aggregate income of up to 12,000 base calculation values (BCV) per tax period, roughly UZS 5.3 billion at a BCV of UZS 440,000, are turnover-tax payers unless an exception applies; the threshold used to be UZS 1 billion. The base rate is 4%, and the general VAT and profit-tax rates are 12% and 15%.2, 6
  • Dividends received by a company are taxed at 5%.2

Special regimes: IT Park and TIFC

Two regimes with tax benefits, one for IT companies and one for financial firms. The conditions sit right next to them.

IT Park Uzbekistan

A tech park for IT companies; residency comes with tax and customs benefits.

Taxes to 2028
Until 1 January 2028, no profit tax, VAT, social tax or turnover tax. Employees pay 7.5% personal income tax instead of 12%.3
After 2028
Until 2040, the exemption from all taxes except VAT continues for residents whose permitted exports exceed 50% of aggregate income, and for certain IT-education companies meeting the graduate-employment test.3
Dividends
Until 2040, dividends paid to non-residents by IT Park residents with an export share above 50% are taxed at the rates applicable to Uzbek residents.3

Tashkent International Financial Centre (TIFC)

Regime launching

Constitutional Law No. ZRU-1158 of 13 July 2026 took effect on 25 July 2026. The centre applies the common law and equity of England and Wales where they don’t conflict with the Constitution, the law or the centre’s own decisions.

Taxes
Qualified participants pay no profit tax or social tax on income from financial services until 1 January 2076.4
Who it suits
Organisations registered, licensed or exempted to provide permitted financial or ancillary services.4
Foreign staff
Qualified foreign staff may work without the national confirmation; the TIFC administration sets qualification requirements and quotas.4
Launch
The regime becomes fully operational after the centre is activated and its bodies adopt the necessary decisions.4

FAQ

Can a foreigner open an LLC in Uzbekistan?

Yes. A foreign national may be appointed as director but usually needs separate confirmation to work. No general minimum capital is prescribed for an ordinary LLC; licensed activities and enterprise-with-foreign-investment status may impose separate requirements. The partner will confirm documents, translation and filing method for the founder’s country.1, 5, 6

Can I register without travelling?

An application may be filed online through my.gov.uz after logging in to the portal. How a foreign founder logs in, preparing foreign documents, opening an account and securing work permission may require further steps or a visit.1

How long does registration take?

The official period for state registration after a correct filing is real time and no more than 30 minutes. Preparing documents, translations and subsequent bank-account opening take additional time.1

What taxes does a company pay?

Since 1 June 2026, Uzbek legal entities with aggregate income of up to 12,000 BCV per tax period (roughly UZS 5.3 billion) are turnover-tax payers unless an exception applies; the base rate is 4%. The threshold used to be UZS 1 billion. Once the threshold is exceeded, the VAT and profit-tax regime applies; the general rates are 12% and 15%. Different rules apply to certain activities and special regimes.2

Should I choose a regular LLC, IT Park or the TIFC?

A regular LLC suits most trading and service businesses. IT Park is for IT companies, and the longest benefits go to those whose exports of permitted activities exceed 50% of aggregate income. The TIFC targets financial firms but is only just launching. A partner can check eligibility and compare the options.3, 4

Does Lexicomb guarantee registration or a bank account?

No. A state body or the bank makes that decision. Lexicomb helps you choose who does the work and fixes price, scope and acceptance terms before you pay.
