About 936 enterprises in Uzbekistan benefited from social tax incentives totaling UZS 178.7bn ($14.7mn) in September 2025, according to the Tax Committee.
The measure follows a government decision that took effect on September 1, 2025, setting the social tax rate for clusters, textile, garment, and knitwear enterprises at just 1% for a period of three years.
Officials explained that the incentive is applied directly by taxpayers when preparing their tax reports, a process managed by each company’s accountant. The initiative aims to support industrial sectors, boost employment, and encourage local production.
Earlier, authorities reported that tenants who signed rental contracts with students in the first seven months of 2025 were granted tax benefits worth UZS 40.7bn ($3.4mn).
Meanwhile, in September, more than 28,000 citizens received UZS 25.6bn ($2.1mn) in maternity benefits, reflecting ongoing state efforts to provide financial and social support to households across the country.
Earlier, it was reported that Uzbekistan’s tax revenues totaled UZS 158.7 trillion ($13bn) in the first nine months of 2025, marking an 18% increase compared to the same period last year.
Profit tax remained the largest source of budget income at UZS 35.4 trillion ($2.9bn), followed by value-added tax (UZS 32.5 trillion ($2.7bn)) and personal income tax (UZS 30.3 trillion ($2.5bn)).
