What is a director’s personal liability in Uzbekistan?

Short answer

The director answers personally for what the company files and pays.

FilingsLate or absent returns land on the official — the administrative fines for a company’s filing failures name the responsible official (Admin. Liability Code, Art. 175 — lex.uz ↗)
DutiesFiduciary duties are written out — act in the company’s interest in good faith, no personal use of assets, no taking corporate opportunities, no competing business, confidentiality, no kickbacks (LLC Law, Art. 44 — lex.uz ↗)
LossesThe company or any shareholder can sue — the director answers to the company for losses from culpable actions or breached duties (LLC Law, Art. 46 — lex.uz ↗)
InsolvencyCausing it pierces the veil — a director whose unlawful actions made the company insolvent answers subsidiarily where its assets fall short (LLC Law, Art. 4 — lex.uz ↗)
ConductUnlawful instructions are the director’s risk — which is why a professional directorship reviews instructions before executing them
What the law provides

Uzbek law holds the director personally answerable for the company’s compliance: the administrative liability provisions for late returns and record-keeping failures fall on the responsible official of the legal entity, not only on the company. The practical consequence for any director — owner-director or provided director alike — is the same: what the company files, and whether it files on time, is personally theirs. (Admin. Liability Code, Art. 175 — lex.uz ↗)

The LLC law adds the corporate layer. The director’s fiduciary duties are written out — acting in the company’s interest in good faith, not using its assets or business opportunities personally, not running a competing business without consent, keeping confidentiality, taking no benefits for decisions — and the company or any shareholder may sue the director for losses caused by culpable conduct. Where unlawful actions cause insolvency, or a major or related-party deal is concluded in breach of procedure with fault proven, the director answers subsidiarily to creditors when the company’s assets fall short. (LLC Law, Arts. 4, 44, 46 — lex.uz ↗)
