From the beginning of 2020, foreign legal entities that sell services and goods in electronic form in Uzbekistan are recognized as taxpayers in terms of such services provided to individuals.

The Tax Committee has created a VAT office that allows foreign internet companies operating in Uzbekistan to register and start paying taxes.

In two years, 28 foreign companies providing electronic services to individuals without establishing a permanent office in Uzbekistan have registered with tax authorities. Among them are Booking.com B.V., Netflix International B.V., Apple, Facebook, Yandex, Huawei and others. When paying for their services, Uzbekistan people must take into account VAT at a rate of 15 percent.
