Accounting Company in Uzbekistan for Foreign Businesses

Accounting Company in Uzbekistan for Foreign Businesses

When a foreign company begins operating in Uzbekistan, accounting is not optional — it is a legal requirement from day one. Every registered entity must maintain books, file tax returns, process payroll, and submit periodic reports to the tax authority.

Most foreign businesses do not have a local accountant on the ground. They need a reliable accounting company in Uzbekistan that understands both the local regulations and how international businesses operate.

What Accounting in Uzbekistan Involves

The accounting system in Uzbekistan follows national standards aligned with IFRS principles. Foreign companies operating through a local legal entity — LLC or representative office — are required to:

•Maintain double-entry bookkeeping from the date of registration.

•File monthly or quarterly VAT returns (VAT rate: 12%).

•Submit annual financial statements to the tax authority.

•Process payroll and calculate social contributions for local employees.

•File corporate income tax returns (standard rate: 15%).

•Maintain primary documents — invoices, contracts, payment confirmations — in accordance with Uzbek requirements.

Non-compliance results in fines. The State Tax Committee conducts regular desk audits, and missing a filing deadline — even by a few days — carries a financial penalty.

What UZ2B Handles for Your Business

UZ2B provides full-cycle accounting outsourcing for foreign companies in Uzbekistan. Our team works in Russian, Uzbek, and English — which means you always understand what is happening with your books.

Payroll processing. We calculate salaries, social contributions, and personal income tax for your local staff and generate the required payroll documentation.

Financial reporting. We prepare monthly management reports and annual financial statements in the format required by Uzbek law.

Primary document control. We review incoming invoices and contracts for compliance and flag any issues before they become problems during a tax audit.

Tax authority communication. If the tax authority sends a request or initiates a desk audit, we handle the response on your behalf.

Who Typically Uses Our Accounting Services

•Foreign companies that have registered an LLC in Uzbekistan and need ongoing compliance support.

•Businesses entering the Uzbekistan market through a representative office.

•E-commerce companies selling through Uzum Marketplace or other local platforms.

•Companies using UZ2B as a payment agent who also need local accounting covered.

•Businesses that previously used a local accountant and experienced compliance issues.

Why Outsource Rather Than Hire Locally

Hiring a full-time accountant in Uzbekistan involves salary, social contributions, office costs, and the risk that the person leaves — taking institutional knowledge with them. For most foreign companies in the early stages of market entry, this is not practical.

Outsourcing accounting to UZ2B means you pay for the service, not the headcount. You get a team that covers all functions, communicates in English, and is available without the overhead of a full-time hire.

For companies already working with UZ2B on company registration or customs clearance, adding accounting creates a single point of contact for all compliance matters in Uzbekistan.

Key Tax Rates in Uzbekistan (2026)

•Corporate income tax: 15% (standard rate for most companies).

•VAT: 12% on most goods and services.

•Personal income tax: 12% flat rate.

•Social contributions: 25% employer contribution on gross salary.

•IT Park residents: 0% corporate income tax, 0% VAT, 7.5% social contributions.

Tax rates and filing requirements change periodically. UZ2B monitors legislative updates and adjusts your accounting accordingly — you do not need to track this yourself.

Getting Started

If your company is registered in Uzbekistan or in the process of registration, accounting setup should happen in parallel — not after. The first filing deadline arrives faster than most foreign businesses expect.

Contact UZ2B for a free consultation. We will review your company structure, explain the applicable tax regime, and outline what ongoing accounting support looks like for your specific situation.
For companies importing goods into Uzbekistan, accounting outsourcing is often the next step after customs clearance is handled.
