With the beginning of the autumn season in Uzbekistan, several legislative changes will come into effect. This was reported by Upl.uz.
These changes cover important areas ranging from entrepreneurship to social support. The goal is to liberalize economic relations, reduce administrative burdens on businesses, and ensure that social assistance is delivered clearly and effectively.
Significant innovations will be introduced in labor relations and the field of supervision. Starting from September 1, a number of requirements for employers will be abolished.
In particular, administrative liability for not hiring citizens referred by employment centers will be removed. Additionally, enterprises will be exempted from the obligation to submit reports on vacant job positions.
At the same time, the powers of state labor inspectors will be expanded. They will now have the right to inspect the activities of economic entities without prior notice and will exercise stricter control over compliance with labor legislation.
A new incentive system for businesses will be introduced. The "Green Entrepreneur" status will be granted to companies that meet environmental standards.
Holders of this status will be given priority on the "Transparent Construction" electronic platform, temporarily exempted from ecological inspections, and supported in entering international markets. Important changes will also be made to the rules for the voluntary termination of small and medium-sized businesses.
Enterprises with an income of less than 10 billion soums over the past three years, no debts to the budget, regular reporting, and a low-risk level in the "Risk Analysis" system will not be subject to tax audits. Significant relief will also be introduced in the jewelry sector.
Until September 1, 2028, the customs duty on jewelry items will be set at 2 percent. The marking fee for imported items will be equalized with the tariffs established for local manufacturers.
Furthermore, individual entrepreneurs will be granted the right to sell jewelry products at retail. Serious reforms will be implemented in the disability assessment system.
Decisions will now be made not only based on medical conclusions but also on the results of a comprehensive electronic assessment of a person's functional state. The procedure for receiving financial assistance for single parents will be simplified.
Applications can be submitted through the "Unified National Social Protection System," the EPIgu portal, or "Human" centers. Positive changes are also expected in the education sector.
A 15 percent quota will be allocated in schools for children in need of social protection in evening groups, and they will be fully exempted from parental fees. Additionally, the base tariff rates for school principals will be increased: by 20 percent for directors and by 15 percent for their deputies.
Starting from September 1, the patrol-post units of the Ministry of Internal Affairs will begin providing public order protection services on a contractual basis through the "Electronic Patrol" system. Legal entities can request this service via the EPIgu portal and public service centers.
The base calculation value, or BRV, is a universal financial indicator used in the context of customs duties and claims. It is applied in calculating taxes, fees, fines, state customs payments, and license prices.
The amount of the BRV is regularly reviewed by the government.
