Today, the rates of state duty when performing notarial actions are divided into many categories, complicating their calculation and creating inconvenience. In particular, the state fee for the certification of contracts related to motor vehicles is divided into 12 categories, and for real estate, collateral, mortgage and leasing contracts – into 6 categories.
In this regard, the Head of the state instructed to simplify the system of notarial actions and increase its convenience for the population. In accordance with this, a draft law on introducing amendments and additions to the Law “On State Duty” was developed. The draft law provides for the optimization of the rates of state duties charged for notarial actions.
For example, when calculating the rates of the corresponding state duties, the area of housing, engine power and the year of manufacture of vehicles are taken into account. From now on, the categories of duties will be reduced, the rates will be unified, and the size of some will be reduced.
In particular, the state fee for notarization of contracts for the purchase and sale of real estate, regardless of its area, will be set at a one-time rate of the base calculated value in Tashkent, Nukus and regional centers, as well as at 0.5 base calculated value in other places.
Differentiated fees for the notarization of collateral, mortgage, leasing and loan agreements will be unified with the establishment of a single rate.
In case of notarial confirmation of the sale of motor vehicles, regardless of the engine volume and year of manufacture, the fee will be charged in a single three-fold amount of the base calculated value.
The amount of the fee for notarization of such contracts as rent or gratuitous use of property, registration of a power of attorney for vehicles will be also reduced. The state duty for issuing a certificate of accumulative pension provision to the heir of a citizen is to be canceled.
The adoption of this law will facilitate notary processes, eliminate various ambiguities, conflict situations and corruption. More than 100 billion UZS a year will remain at the disposal of the population.
