What tax is withheld when paying a foreign company from Uzbekistan?

Short answer

It depends on the income: 10, 6 or 20 per cent — before treaty relief.

10%Dividends and interest (Tax Code, Art. 353 p.1 — lex.uz ↗)
10%Insurance premiums — insurance, co-insurance and reinsurance (Tax Code, Art. 353 p.2 — lex.uz ↗)
6%International telecoms and freight (Tax Code, Art. 353 p.3 — lex.uz ↗)
20%Everything else — the residual rate for Uzbek-source income not otherwise listed (Tax Code, Art. 353 p.6 — lex.uz ↗)
What the law provides

Income of a non-resident legal entity from Uzbek sources, where it is not connected to a permanent establishment, is taxed at the source of payment: 10 per cent on dividends and interest and on insurance premiums, 6 per cent on international telecommunications and freight, and 20 per cent on other income. The paying company withholds as tax agent. (Tax Code, Arts. 353–354 — lex.uz ↗)

Where a double-tax treaty is in force with the recipient’s country, the treaty’s rate commonly applies instead, claimed under the treaty’s own procedure rather than automatically.
