Answered 0 of 8

1. 1Who will file the application?

   A limited liability company or another legal entity in UzbekistanNo entity yet, we plan to register oneSole trader or self-employedA foreign company with no entity in UzbekistanNot sure

   Resident status is granted to a legal entity registered in the Republic of Uzbekistan. A sole trader, a self-employed person or a foreign company without local registration cannot apply.

2. 2Where does most of the company's revenue come from?

   Software, mobile app, game and SaaS developmentSoftware implementation, support, customisation and user trainingDatabases, data processing, automated information search and delivery servicesAutomated management systems, IT consulting, business analysis, information system auditWeb design, graphics, 3D, interfaces, motion design and animationCybersecurity, technical and cryptographic information protection, digital signaturesInternet of things, microelectronics, embedded software, communication equipmentIT education: courses, coding schools, online trainingEsportsVenture funding of IT projects and accelerationAdvertising and monetisation inside your own softwareBusiness process outsourcing for foreign clients through your own software: call centre, dispatch including truck dispatch, back officeExport of information services over the internetOnline service delivery to foreign markets: accounting, HR, marketing, support, salesNone of the above: trade, offline services, finance, manufacturing

   Pick what matches actual revenue rather than the wording in the charter. The list of eligible activities is an annex to Cabinet of Ministers Resolution No. 589 of 15.07.2019.

3. 3Is the company a payment organisation, payment system operator, electronic payment system, marketplace or microfinance organisation?

   No, none of theseYes, that is our modelNot sure or partly

   From 1 April 2026, under Presidential Resolution No. PP-388 of 26.12.2025, such companies do not apply the tax and customs incentives of an IT Park resident.

4. 4Does the company earn revenue outside its IT activity?

   No, all revenue comes from the declared activityA small share, roughly up to 10 per centYes, a significant share of revenueNot sure, we have not measured it

   A resident may only run the activities set out in its approved business plan. Trade, leasing or offline services inside the same entity are a frequent source of claims.

5. 5What share of annual revenue comes from foreign clients?

   No exports, we work only inside UzbekistanUp to 20 per centFrom 20 to 35 per centFrom 35 to 50 per centMore than 50 per centNo revenue yet, or not sure

   The export share drives the mandatory contribution to the IT Park directorate and the scope of incentives after 2028.

6. 6Who actually performs the work under your contracts?

   Employees under employment contractsPartly employees, partly civil law contractorsMostly contractors, almost no staffFounders only, no hired staff yetThe work is fully subcontractedNot sure, it varies

   The directorate checks whether the company runs the declared activity with its own resources: staffing and contract data are part of the package. The reduced personal income tax rate applies to payments under employment contracts.

7. 7What is the company's annual revenue?

   Up to 5 bn UZSFrom 5 to 100 bn UZS100 bn UZS and aboveNo revenue yet, or not sure

   Needed to work out the contribution rate to the directorate: it depends on revenue and on meeting the export target.

8. 8Which of these do you already have?

   An economically justified business plan for the declared activityA product description linking it to the declared activityOKED codes matching the activity and the contractsClient contracts and staffing documentsNone of these, or not sure

   It is fine if you have none of it yet: this is preparation, not a selection criterion. Tick everything you have.
