Fees and scope

Accounting services in Uzbekistan — Fees and scope
PlanWho it fitsFee
Launch phase supportStarting or idle company; eligibility agreed$200 / month, fixed
Small business supportoperating company, small team$300–500 / month
Medium business supportlarger headcount and turnover$500–1,000 / month

The launch plan is for a newly registered or idle company with little activity; we confirm it fits before quoting. The operating plans move within their range with tax regime, document volume, headcount, currencies and reporting needs. If your volume changes materially, we tell you before the fee does.

Quoted separately: drafting an accounting policy from scratch, catch-up bookkeeping, major corrections, IFRS conversion, consolidation, budgeting and internal-control projects. Independent audit is not part of a bookkeeping plan.

What the monthly fee includes

  • Collecting, checking and posting source documents: contracts, invoices, acts and receipts. Electronic documents and registers are accepted where they carry the required details, so we set up an electronic document flow where you want one.
  • Issuing electronic invoices on the supply date and tracking their acceptance. A buyer has 10 calendar days to accept or reject an e-invoice (one day for digitally marked goods), and input VAT is creditable only under an accepted one, so we chase rejections and corrections.
  • Maintaining the ledgers and the working chart of accounts under the national standards (NAS 21) and your accounting policy. Joint-stock companies, banks, insurers and large taxpayers report under IFRS instead; we keep the framework that applies to you.
  • Foreign-currency accounting under NAS 22: transactions recorded at the transaction-date rate, monetary balances remeasured every month, exchange differences posted to the result, advances and assets left at their original rate.
  • Fixed and intangible assets: a record for every asset with its supported cost, depreciation from the month after commissioning, routine repairs expensed and modernisation capitalised, plus a separate tax depreciation where the criteria differ.
  • Inventory: initial cost including directly attributable acquisition costs, one costing method per group for the whole year (specific identification, AVECO or FIFO), write-down to net realisable value and a documented count at least once a year.
  • Income and expenses recognised by period, not by payment date: customer advances are not revenue, and production costs, period expenses and finance expenses are kept apart, which is what the statements and the tax return both rely on.
  • Payroll and payroll taxes: personal income tax at 12%, the employer's social tax at 12%, the 0.1% transfer to the funded pension account, monthly returns by the 15th and the annual return by 15 February.
  • Tax returns for your regime: turnover tax monthly by the 15th with the annual calculation by 15 February; corporate income tax quarterly by the 20th of the following month and annually by 1 March; VAT returns for VAT payers.
  • Financial statements: the four NAS forms with explanatory notes (two forms for microfirms and small enterprises) by 1 March, or IFRS statements by 1 May where IFRS applies, signed only after reconciliations, counts and form checks.
  • Reconciliations with counterparties and with your personal account at the tax office, and replies to desk-audit requests before their deadline.
  • IT Park residents: the monthly and quarterly resident reports, separate tracking of eligible income, and the PIT and social tax return completed so that the resident benefits are actually applied.

Statistical reports and the accountant's filing calendar are kept for every client. You hear from us before a deadline, not after it.

The fee is fixed in writing before work starts. The quote states the work, any third-party charges, applicable taxes, the invoicing currency and payment dates. Extra assignments are priced separately, never added silently.

What to send us

  • Company activity, tax regime and IT Park or other resident status.
  • Headcount, approximate monthly transaction and document volume, and currencies used.
  • Accounting software, latest reporting period and any overdue reports or missing records.

A short summary is enough for the first email. Once we have looked at the task, we tell you how to hand over company, tax and employee documents.

What we can handle

Below is the work we take on. Your quote lists exactly which of these tasks, deliverables and reporting periods are included.

Accounting setup and policies

Prepare accounting and tax accounting policies, approval documents, registers and implementation instructions. Set out who provides source documents, who approves them and when they enter the books.

Read the guide: Accounting and tax accounting policies in Uzbekistan

Documents, invoices and transactions

Check and post contracts, invoices, receipts and completion documents. Issue or verify electronic invoices, reconcile them to the books, prepare corrections and flag missing records.

Read the guide: Invoices in Uzbekistan: rules and deadlines

Assets, stock and foreign currency

Maintain asset and inventory registers, calculate depreciation and exchange differences, reconcile balances and document stocktake results. Physical counts and warehouse operations remain distinct from bookkeeping.

Read the guide: Foreign currency accounting in Uzbekistan

Payroll, taxes and mandatory reporting

Calculate pay and employee income-tax withholding separately from employer social tax. Prepare the agreed payroll, tax and statistical reports, maintain the filing calendar and respond to routine tax authority requests.

Read the guide: PIT and social tax in Uzbekistan: rates and reporting

Period close and management information

Reconcile banks, counterparties and tax balances; prepare closing entries, financial statements and supporting schedules. Agree the reporting framework and any additional English-language, budget or management reporting.

Read the guide: Financial statements in Uzbekistan

IT Park accounting and takeover of existing books

Prepare resident reports and reconcile eligible activities and income. For a takeover, review opening balances, record missing documents, agree a correction plan and arrange the handover from the previous accountant.

Setting up the books or taking them over

A company formalises its accounting policy within 90 days of registration, and its head stays responsible for the accounting even when the work is outsourced. We take the setup off your desk:

  • Drafting the financial and tax accounting policy with the seven elements the Tax Code requires for the tax section: tax registers, separate accounting, expense rules, VAT, depreciation and the rest, plus the approval order and the working chart of accounts.
  • Document-flow rules: who supplies each source document, who approves it and when it enters the books, so the chain from document to entry to count to statements can be traced.
  • Access to the electronic invoice and tax-office systems, and a filing calendar built for your regime before the first deadline.
  • On a takeover: review of opening balances against the last filed reports, a list of missing documents, a correction plan for past periods where needed, and the handover of the accounting base from the previous accountant.

What we check before closing a period

  • Bank and cash balances reconciled; every e-invoice issued and accepted; foreign-currency balances remeasured at the month-end rate.
  • Depreciation, inventory movements and any write-downs recorded; accruals and advances classified correctly.
  • Tax calculations reconciled with the tax office's personal account; the VAT return matched to accepted invoices.
  • Statements checked form by form and signed by the authorised persons; where the law requires an audit, the audited statements published with the opinion.

What you receive

  • The agreed reporting calendar and a list of client documents and approvals needed.
  • Reconciliations, payroll outputs and financial reports for the periods covered by the contract.
  • Copies or confirmations of submitted reports, with unresolved items and required corrections identified.

How the work proceeds

  1. Send a short description and the details listed above. You get a reply within one business day: a fixed quote, or the one or two questions we still need answered.
  2. Review the records and agree the reporting periods, responsibilities, access arrangements and monthly fee in writing.
  3. Check documents, process transactions and prepare calculations and reports for the agreed approvals and filing deadlines.
  4. Provide the agreed reports and filing confirmations; review missing information and changes in the company's activity.

The takeover date depends on system access, the completeness of prior records and any overdue filings. Reporting deadlines and document cut-offs are written into the contract. Restoring past periods is a separate, scheduled job.

Frequently asked questions

Can you take over from another accountant?

Yes. We review the latest reports, opening balances, system access and outstanding work. We agree a handover date and identify any restoration or amended reporting separately from ongoing support.

What if documents are missing or transactions increase?

We identify missing records and explain what is needed to complete the accounts. A material change in document volume, staffing or reporting needs is discussed with you before adjusting the scope and fee.

Can we receive reports in English and retain access to our records?

We can agree English-language reports for management alongside the applicable statutory reporting. The engagement specifies software access, reporting frequency and the records and files to be handed over when the work ends.

Do we need an accounting policy, and who signs it?

Yes. A new company formalises its financial accounting policy within 90 days of registration, and the tax section has to cover the elements the Tax Code lists. We draft both sections and the approval order; the director signs, because the head of the company remains responsible for organising the accounting even when it is outsourced.

Do we report under NAS or IFRS?

Ordinary LLCs report under the national accounting standards. Joint-stock companies, banks, insurance companies and large taxpayers must apply IFRS. If your owners want IFRS-format reporting on top of the statutory NAS set, we agree it as management reporting or a separately quoted conversion.

What happens if a supplier's e-invoice is rejected or marked high-risk?

Input VAT can be credited only under an electronic invoice that has been accepted, and a high-risk marking is a signal to check the supplier before crediting. We monitor acceptance within the 10-day window, request corrected invoices and flag high-risk suppliers before the VAT return is filed.

Do we have to count our inventory?

At least once a year, and whenever the accounting policy or an event such as a change of the responsible person requires it. We prepare the count documents, record the results and post any write-down to net realisable value.

When are the annual financial statements due?

By 1 March for NAS statements and by 1 May for IFRS statements. A complete NAS set is four forms plus explanatory information; microfirms and small enterprises file two forms. Companies subject to mandatory audit publish the statements with the audit opinion.

Can our records be fully electronic?

Yes. Source documents and registers may be electronic if they contain the required details and corrections are properly confirmed. We keep the books in an electronic system and agree with you which documents still need a wet signature.

How do exchange differences affect our tax?

Under NAS 22, foreign-currency cash and debts are remeasured every month and the difference enters the financial result, while advances and assets stay at the initial rate. The tax treatment follows your regime, so we keep the accounting and tax figures side by side and explain any gap in the return.

Discuss your assignment

Tell us your tax regime, headcount, monthly document volume and whether you need ongoing support, a takeover or restoration of past periods. We will explain the proposed scope and fee.
