At a government meeting on Monday, the President Shavkat Mirziyoyev approved a business stimulus package aimed at easing doing business for sole entrepreneurs and the self-employed.
According to the presidential press service, a special legal regime will be adopted for the above categories until December 31, 2030, which provides for the creation of an integrated digital platform that combines key services - from registration to reporting and tax payment.
Through the platform, entrepreneurs will be able to finalize their activities, open and manage bank accounts, calculate and pay taxes, make settlements and generate checks.
As part of this system, entrepreneurs will be able to open an e- wallet, which will allow them to receive payments, pay to employees, contractors and firms, as well as pay taxes and other mandatory duties. For sole entrepreneurs and the self-employed who have an e- wallet, opening bank accounts will become optional.
From November 1, 2025, QR codes and "tap to pay" technology will be used in these processes. Documents can be signed using biometrics and SMS notifications without an e-key. This data will be equivalent to paper documents.
A daily payment procedure is being introduced in pilot mode, which will allow settlements with employees through an e- wallet.
In addition, from 2026, sole entrepreneurs with a turnover of up to 1 billion soums and the self-employed will pay a turnover tax of 1%. Having a special QR code for accepting e- payments will become a mandatory requirement of the retail trade rules.
