LinkedIn starts paying VAT in Uzbekistan

LinkedIn has registered as a taxpayer in Uzbekistan, Spot writes with reference to the State Tax Committee.

LinkedIn is an American business and employment-oriented online service that operates via websites and mobile apps. Launched on May 5, 2003, the platform is mainly used for professional networking and allows job seekers to post their CVs and employers to post jobs. In June 2016, the site was acquired by Microsoft for $26.2 billion.

The fact that the company is registered as a taxpayer in Uzbekistan means that when paying for services, it is now necessary to take into account VAT at a rate of 15%.

Since the beginning of 2020, foreign legal entities that sell services and goods in electronic form in Uzbekistan are recognized as taxpayers in terms of such services provided to individuals.

The State Tax Committee created a VAT office that allows foreign internet companies operating in Uzbekistan to register and start paying taxes.
