In December 2022, the legislative acts updating and amending the Tax Code of the Republic of Uzbekistan (the “TC RUz”) and the Customs Code of the Republic of Uzbekistan (the “CC RUz”) were passed.[1] Changes are effective starting from 1 January 2023 unless stated otherwise.
Some of the amendments provided by these Laws were already announced earlier in 2022 by the relevant Presidential Decrees and after the adoption of the Laws the changes were duly incorporated in the Uzbek legislation.
In this review, we have summarized what are, in our opinion, the most significant changes. However, for a complete list of changes, we recommend also reviewing the text of the relevant legislative acts, as well as the effective TC RUz and CC RUz.
