Apple, Google and Meta lead tax payments by foreign tech firms in Uzbekistan

According to the State Tax Committee, a total of 97 foreign companies paid taxes on electronic services during the reporting period, up from 78 a year earlier.

The committee said the top 10 taxpayers accounted for more than 92% of the total amount collected.

Apple was the largest contributor, paying UZS 33.6 billion, followed by Google with UZS 33.3 billion and Meta with UZS 28.9 billion. Valve Corp. ranked fourth with UZS 15.8 billion, while Anthropic paid UZS 6.3 billion and OpenAI contributed UZS 5.6 billion.

Other major taxpayers included Midasbuy with UZS 2.9 billion, Booking.com with UZS 2.6 billion, TikTok with UZS 1.6 billion, and Anysphere with UZS 1.5 billion.

The State Tax Committee noted that foreign providers of electronic services have already paid nearly 80% of the total amount they contributed during the whole of 2025, despite only half of the current year having passed. This reflects both the growing number of registered foreign taxpayers and increasing tax revenues from the digital services sector.
