Calendar year
Filing and payment
Employment income and passive income are taxed by withholding at source. For other types of income, an individual must submit an income declaration, with income assessed on the basis of the declaration. Filing for such declared income is due by 1 April, with payment made by 1 June of the year following the calendar year.
Penalties
Failure to meet deadlines or failure to provide a tax declaration is subject to administrative penalties (approximately USD 22 to USD 150). A 0.033% fine is charged for late payment of a tax liability for each day that payment is delayed.
Foreign exchange control
Cross-border transactions and related sales or purchases of foreign currency are unrestricted. Residents carrying out currency transactions related to capital flow must comply with the procedures established by the Central Bank of Uzbekistan. Payments within Uzbekistan must be made in the national currency, except as stipulated in legislation. Restrictions on the removal of foreign currency cash from the country by individuals depend on whether the individual is a resident or nonresident, and, for nonresidents, whether the amount exceeds the cash amount brought into Uzbekistan. The Central Bank and authorized banks are the only legal entities that may bring in or take out foreign currency cash or national currency.
