Tax system is a key tool and a factor of government policy influencing country's development in general, and private sector in particular. Tax Code serves as the key regulatory act of the taxation system. The Tax Code of Uzbekistan adopted in 1997 did not fully meet the new objectives and priorities of economic reforms in the country. Since then many changes and amendments were introduced to the Tax Code and a number of taxation-related regulatory acts were adopted. As a result, tax legislation lost its systemic nature, became non-transparent, and the Tax Code could no longer answer many tax-related questions, and many of its provisions became to some extent ambiguous.
