Uzbekistan to increase tax for water use for certain categories of consumers
By Trend
Uzbekistan will increase tax for water use for industrial companies and car washes starting from October 1, Norma.uz website reported.
Uzbek President Shavkat Mirziyoyev signed the corresponding decision “On measures to improve efficiency of using water resources” on July 2.
In particular, car washes will be taxed regardless of the taxation system (generally established taxation or simplified procedure), even when paying a single tax. Previously, this procedure was applied only to manufacturers of non-alcoholic beverages.
For other categories of taxpayers, tax rates remain the same.
