Effective April 1, 2026, Uzbekistan has significantly tightened regulations on cash usage, setting a mandatory cashless payment requirement for any transaction exceeding 25 million UZS. Under Presidential Decree No. PF-246, payments above this threshold must be conducted exclusively through bank transfers or electronic payment systems to promote transparency and combat the shadow economy. This limit applies to the purchase of goods, services, and corporate expenses between legal entities. Practically, this means that for any significant contract or equipment purchase, a company must use its settlement account to process the payment. Maintaining compliance with these limits is essential to ensure that business expenses are recognized as tax-deductible under the Tax Code. Violating these thresholds can lead to administrative fines and the disqualification of the transaction from tax accounting.
Yes, legal entities in Uzbekistan that collect cash revenue from sales are legally required to deposit these funds into their commercial bank accounts according to the rules established by the Central Bank. The Law “On Accounting” and relevant banking regulations mandate that cash held in the company’s “kassa” (on-site vault) must not exceed a specific limit set in agreement with the bank. Any “excess cash” must be handed over to the bank’s collection service or deposited personally by the end of the business day. Practically, this ensures that the company’s liquid assets are reflected in the banking system, allowing for proper tax monitoring and financial reporting. For foreign-owned firms, strict adherence to this cycle is critical for proving the legitimacy of income during future dividend repatriations. Failure to deposit cash revenue on time is considered a violation of financial discipline and can trigger an unscheduled tax audit.
While the Labor Code of Uzbekistan allows for salaries to be paid in cash, there is a strong government push toward 100% cashless payroll through bank cards (Humo or Uzcard). Legally, if a company chooses to pay in cash, it must follow a strict “Cash Order” procedure, withdrawing the exact amount from the bank and distributing it within three business days. However, for certain regions and large taxpayers, mandatory cashless payroll may be enforced by specific local decrees. Practically, using bank transfers for salaries is much safer for compliance, as it automatically reconciles with the Social Tax reports filed in the taxes.uz portal. Cash payments require more manual documentation and are subject to higher scrutiny during labor inspections. Switching to a “bank project” for payroll is a best practice for modern companies to ensure transparency and administrative efficiency.
Using unaccounted cash in Uzbekistan carries severe legal and financial risks, including criminal liability for tax evasion and the potential freezing of all corporate bank accounts. Under the Tax Code, any revenue not reflected in the electronic invoicing system (e-faktura) or the virtual cash register is considered “shadow income,” which triggers a high-risk score in the state’s automated monitoring systems. Beyond fines, the use of such funds prevents a company from legally justifying its business expenses, leading to a much higher effective tax rate. Practically, “black cash” makes it impossible for a company to pass a mandatory audit or attract international investment, as the financial history will be considered unreliable. For foreign managers, engaging in cash-based schemes is a direct violation of compliance that can lead to the revocation of work permits and residency. Legal cash management is the only way to maintain the “Good Standing” required for long-term operations.
A cash management service helps an Uzbekistan company balance its local currency (UZS) needs for daily operations with its foreign currency (USD/EUR) requirements for imports and profit repatriation. According to the Law “On Currency Regulation,” while the conversion process is liberalized, companies must provide valid “Foreign Trade Contracts” and bankable documentation to justify the purchase of foreign currency. A professional service monitors the company’s “Cash Flow Forecast” to ensure that funds are available in the right account at the right time, avoiding “liquidity gaps” that could halt imports. Practically, consultants assist in managing “Account Receivables” to ensure that cash is collected from customers before the company’s own tax and vendor deadlines. This strategic oversight ensures that the company maximizes its interest income on idle cash while maintaining a 100% compliance rate with Central Bank directives. Efficient liquidity control is the backbone of financial stability in a high-growth market like Uzbekistan.
