According to him, only 5.7 million citizens, according to the State Tax Committee, are officially working, which means they pay income tax.

Behzod Musayev said that the State Tax Committee is conducting inspections to clarify this figure. He said that the tax authorities checked some of the trading facilities and found out that some employees of the facilities work without registration.

Musaev said that entrepreneurs cannot blame for this. He said that to pay a salary of 1 million soums, they need to pay a tax of 500 thousand soums or 50%.

The Concept of Reforming the Tax System of Uzbekistan proposes to combine the tax on personal income, unified social payments and insurance premiums of citizens into the off-budget Pension Fund under the Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Uzbekistan into a single tax on personal income with a flat taxation scale of 25%.
