he Tax Committee of Uzbekistan has been mandated to introduce supervisory measures over the registration in the national system – “Asl Belgisi”.
This registration is required for companies engaged in the retail sale of alcoholic and tobacco products, beer, medicines and household appliances, i.e. the goods that are subject to the mandatory digital marking / labelling.
In case the activity of an economic operator carrying out retail trade in goods subject to digital marking is suspended, they must notify the district (city) tax inspectorate about this within a month. At the same time, the tax authority verifies the payment of fees within 3 days, and also conducts an inventory of the remaining beer, alcohol and tobacco products in the warehouse.
Until August 1, 2026, the Tax Committee of Uzbekistan will introduce proposals that would regulate the mandatory seizure of counterfeit products and goods with fake digital markings. Criminal liability will be imposed for the production, import or sale of such goods.
Together with the relevant ministries and departments, it is planned draft a law (by November 1, 2024) that would require that any wholesale sale of products with digital marking can only be conducted in a non-cash form.
In addition, with the involvement of foreign experts, a project of the law "On trade" will be developed, regulating the rules of wholesale and retail trade, as well as marking.
