Main Points
In Uzbekistan, new measures to support entrepreneurs will take effect on 18 November. The changes are codified in Law No. ZRU‑1168, adopted on 17 August 2026. Key provisions include: Temporary suspension of business activity – Entrepreneurs may officially suspend operations by filing a request. During the suspension period, they are exempt from tax and statistical reporting, and the accrual of certain taxes is halted. Existing debts remain unchanged. The law also bars state authorities from re‑requesting information already supplied by the entrepreneur. Revised sanctions regime – Most serious restrictions, such as bank‑account blockages and activity suspensions, will now require a court order. The law provides specific exceptions and allows entrepreneurs to avoid financial sanctions if they promptly correct the violation and voluntarily compensate for any damage. This exemption does not apply to tax violations. Penalty payment options – Entrepreneurs may pay 50 % of a fine within one month, or opt for a six‑month installment plan, provided they meet the conditions set out in the law. The procedure for officially suspending business activity still requires the approval of a separate regulatory framework. Article and image source: Novosti Uzbekistana
