MALTax Free system has been introduced in five airports of Uzbekistan
Since January 2, 2023, Tax Free counters have started operating at the international airports of Tashkent, Samarkand, Bukhara, Fergana and Urgench, where foreign citizens can refund VAT amounts paid when purchasing certain goods in Uzbekistan. The racks were installed by the State Tax Committee of Uzbekistan and have so far started working in test mode.
The Tax Free system implies the return of VAT funds to foreign citizens paid by them when purchasing certain types of goods from entrepreneurs engaged in retail trade in Uzbekistan. The list of goods covered by cashback was approved by the Resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of the Republic of Uzbekistan from November 8th. To this list it includes souvenirs, nuts, fruits and dried fruits, leather and fur products, carpets, textiles and more.
To get a VAT refund, you need to register in the Soliq mobile application and scan receipts for purchases made in it. When departing at the airport, the passenger needs to check in for the flight, then contact the Tax Free counter, presenting the boarding pass and the goods themselves. The registered goods can be left for carriage in hand luggage, or return to the check-in desk and put in the luggage.
The total amount of the purchase of goods subject to the Tax Free system must be at least 1 million soums. The product should also not be opened and used. Employees of the GNC, after checking the conformity of the goods with the criteria, issue cashback. For various categories of goods, the passenger can refund up to 90% of the VAT amount. Cashback is issued to the passenger's card and paid after the 25th day of the month following the month in which the refund was registered.
