At the session of the Legislative Chamber held on December 27, the Uzbek legislators considered the law "On amendments and additions to some legal documents of Uzbekistan in connection with the adoption of the main directions of the tax and budget policy for 2023" where they approved to exempt legal professions from paying value-added taxpayers.
The draft law envisages the transformation of legal entities into VAT payers by removing Chapter 70 of the Tax Code (specific features of taxation of lawyers' associations, law firms, law offices and lawyers).
Such factors cause an increase in the cost of legal assistance provided by lawyers and a decrease in the opportunity to provide qualified legal services.
Based on this, the deputies said that the changes and additions introduced could have a negative impact on the activities of lawyers and put forward a proposal to exclude it.
After long debates, this norm was removed from the draft law.
