Gov’t exempts import of meat, potatoes and frozen fish from VAT
The President signed the law “On amendments to the Tax Code of the Republic of Uzbekistan, aimed at guaranteed provision of the population with basic types of food products”.
According to the document, in the period from October 10 to December 31, 2021, turnover on the sale of meat (beef, lamb, chicken), live animals (livestock and poultry) and their slaughter products, potatoes and frozen fish are exempted from value added tax, as well as their import into the territory of the republic.
These measures should lead to lower prices for meat and other consumer goods in the markets.
