The Republic of Uzbekistan is the most populous nation and the fastest-growing technology, manufacturing, and software engineering hub in Central Asia (~$90+ billion USD GDP). Under extensive modern economic reforms, Uzbekistan has created the flagship **IT Park Uzbekistan** in Tashkent (offering tech and BPO companies 0% corporate tax, 0% social tax, and a flat 7.5% personal income tax, attracting hundreds of international software and game dev studios), alongside world-class gold mining (Muruntau mine, one of the world's largest open-pit gold mines), copper/uranium extraction (Navoi Mining), automotive manufacturing (UzAuto Motors), and textile spinning. Hiring employees in Uzbekistan requires compliance with the modernized Uzbek Labour Code (*New Labour Code 2023*), registration with the Single National Labor System (**YAMMT**), employer Social Tax (12.0% standard or 0% under IT Park), flat 12% personal income tax (7.5% for IT Park residents) with the State Tax Committee, and non-citizen work permits. Setting up a local LLC takes 1 to 3 business days via the Public Services Centers. A Global Employer of Record (EOR) enables international software, game dev, and engineering companies to hire Uzbek developers legally, managing Labour Code contracts, YAMMT electronic registrations, Social Tax compliance, and compliant UZS/USD payroll.
