Which tax regime does a new company start on?

Short answer

The one it chooses at registration — turnover tax from day one, or VAT and profit tax.

At filingThe choice is made at state registration — a newly created legal entity may elect turnover tax from the day of registration, by indicating it in the filing (Tax Code, Art. 462 — lex.uz ↗)
ExcludedSome activities cannot choose it — importers first among them: the general regime applies from the import contract or the import, whichever is first (Tax Code, Arts. 461–462 — lex.uz ↗)
ReversibleThe choice is not final — voluntary VAT is open from the next month; the way back to turnover tax takes twelve months and income within the threshold (Tax Code, Art. 462 — lex.uz ↗)
What the law provides

A new legal entity elects turnover tax at state registration, by stating the chosen regime in the filing itself, and pays it from the day of registration. Without the election — or where the activity is excluded from turnover tax — the company is on VAT and profit tax. (Tax Code, Art. 462 — lex.uz ↗)

For a fast-growing company the Code sets one more rule worth knowing at the start: a newly created entity whose income crosses the one-billion-sum threshold pro-rated for its first calendar year moves to the general regime from the start of the following year. (Tax Code, Art. 462 — lex.uz ↗)
