Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.com) --
Uzbek President Shavkat Mirziyoyev instructed to work out a specific plan of measures to ensure honest operation and timely tax payment by business entities by 1 July 2018. This was stated by the First Deputy Minister of Economy Mubin Mirzayev.
According to him, a roadmap for reforming the tax and customs systems is being developed in Uzbekistan.
He noted that the Government until 1 July 2018 will review the entire tax system. A new tax code will also be developed.
Mubin Mirzaev underlined that these measures will allow increasing the level of legalization of business and population incomes by about 5-10%.
In his opinion, the country needs to create a competitive environment and equal conditions for all, which will create a stable base for formation of the budget.
Mubin Mirzayev noted that according to experts, the share of shadow economy in Uzbekistan in relation to GDP exceeds 50%.
