The procedure for taxing artists' activities is being simplified.
A new draft law aimed at simplifying the taxation and accounting system for individuals engaged in concert and performance activities has been announced on the portal for discussing draft normative legal acts. Zamin.uz reported this.
According to the document, in the future, a system will be introduced where taxes are collected separately from artists for each wedding ceremony and other events. This, in turn, represents an important step aimed at making financial processes in the creative sector transparent and orderly.
The draft law emphasizes that starting from September 1, 2026, all services related to the activities of performers and creative teams must be registered through the Tax Mobile Application of tax authorities. Thus, every performance and execution will be accurately recorded.
Furthermore, during the period from September 1, 2026, to January 1, 2029, personal income tax collected from individuals will be levied in tiered fixed amounts based on the principle of one service, one payment. This significantly simplifies calculations for taxpayers.
One of the most important rules of the project will be implemented starting from January 1, 2029. After this date, performers and teams conducting concert and performance activities on a licensing basis will operate exclusively through cashless payments.
The use of bank cards and electronic funds is required instead of cash transfers. This change not only simplifies the official accounting of artists' income but also strengthens legal oversight over funds received from weddings and other events.
As a result, the tax system will become more equitable and easier to manage.
