Starting in 2026, Uzbekistan will eliminate VAT on most agricultural products, excluding cotton and grain, benefiting around 48,000 farmers. This measure aims to reduce tax burdens, increase farm profitability from 5-7% to potentially 15%, and decrease the shadow economy. Farmers will retain more working capital for farm development, boosting agricultural output and transparency. A list of VAT-exempt products will be announced, and refunds will be processed via cashback within three days. The change is expected to provide farmers with an additional 400 billion soums annually.
