The National Agency for Perspective Projects presented a list of specially authorised crypto exchanges participating in the special tax regime for foreign citizens.
The list includes all three crypto exchanges operating in Uzbekistan – Kobea Group, Coinpay and Asterium. Foreigners will be able to open an account at any of them to get exemption from tax on income received outside the country.
The President of Uzbekistan by his decree No. UP-180 dated 04.10.2025 established that from 1 January 2026, income of foreign citizens received from sources outside Uzbekistan will be exempt from personal income tax under the following conditions:
- payment of a fee in the amount of $50 thousand;
- opening a bank account in a specially authorised bank or a crypto-wallet at a specially authorised crypto-exchange in Uzbekistan.
Those wishing to become participants of the regime must apply through the tax committee to a special commission.
Money transferred to the account or crypto wallet will be credited only after risk assessment by the bank (exchange) and verification of compliance with anti-money laundering rules.
