Starting from January 2, 2023, Uzbekistan has introduced tax-free counters at the airports in the capital Tashkent, and the historic cities of Samarkand, Bukhara, Fergana, and Urgench. The government decree of November 8 approved the list of goods eligible for cashback. These include souvenirs, nuts, fruits, dried fruits, leather and fur products, carpets, textiles, etc.
To receive a VAT refund, one should register in the Soliq mobile application and scan the receipts. When departing at the airport, the passenger must first check-in and go to the Tax-Free counter, presenting the boarding pass and the purchases. The registered goods can be carried in hand luggage, or one can return to the check-in counter and check in your luggage.
The total worth of purchased goods should be at least 1mn UZS. The cashback is drawn up by the State Tax Committee. For various categories of goods, the passenger can return up to 90% of the VAT amount. Cashback is issued to the passenger's card and paid out after the 25th day of the month following the month in which the return was filed.
