Why do citizens need to register?
Official notification registration will allow self-employed people to:
• work legally without registering an individual entrepreneur;
• fill out and store all your orders (for each order, the database will contain information about the composition and cost of work. On its basis, if necessary, you can generate a check and send it to the client);
• calculate the social tax to offset the length of service;
• keep track of your income and expenses.
Citizens wishing to become self-employed simply need to register for free with local tax authorities or through the Soliq mobile app. After that, they will be given a certificate with a QR code, which acts as an official document.
The tax committee website also published step-by-step instructions for registering a self-employed person using a mobile application.
Self-employed people annually pay social tax in the amount of 1 BCA (currently 270,000 soums). This amount is sent to the off-budgetary Pension Fund for calculating the pension, and the length of service is credited to the taxpayer.
