What the law provides

Participants of special economic zones are exempted from property tax and land tax, scaled to the investment made, for a term set by decision of the President. Profit tax is exempted by investment tier: three years from three million US dollars, five years from five million, ten years from fifteen million and above. For taxpayers who obtain participant status from 1 April 2026, the profit-tax benefit takes the form of accelerated depreciation of fixed assets for the same terms. (Tax Code, Art. 473 — lex.uz ↗)

The benefits reach only the activities named in the investment agreement concluded with the zone’s Directorate. The property and land relief runs from the date of the participant certificate; the profit-tax terms run from commissioning of the production facility. Losing participant status ends the benefits from the first day of that month. (Tax Code, Art. 474 — lex.uz ↗)
