According to the Tax Committee of Uzbekistan, for this it is necessary to register as a self-employed person through the Soliq mobile application and pay social tax.
It is noted that the payment of social tax for the self-employed is voluntary. At the same time, it is a prerequisite for taking into account the length of service.
The amount of the social tax is not less than 1 basic calculated value (BRV) per year. At the same time, the self-employed can pay an amount above the established minimum, which directly affects the amount of future pension payments.
You can pay the social tax through bank payment services or the Soliq application. It is important to take into account that only if the tax is paid on time, the corresponding period is counted in the length of service. If there are no payments, this period will not be taken into account when calculating it.
Thus, even without formal employment, graduates can ensure the continuity of their work experience, which in the future will become an important factor in obtaining pension and other social guarantees.
