JSC “Common Republican Processing Centre” (JSC “CRPC”) hereby informs about changes in the value-added tax (VAT) application procedure for certain services of the UZCARD payment system.

These changes are introduced as part of the tariff model update and are driven by the entry into force of the Resolution of the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan “On measures to ensure implementation of the Law of the Republic of Uzbekistan ‘On the State Budget of the Republic of Uzbekistan for 2026’”.

Accordingly, starting from April 1, 2026, tax and customs incentives previously granted to JSC “CRPC” as a Technopark resident are no longer applicable to payment system operators.

In this regard, JSC “CRPC” has revised the VAT application procedure for a number of services. At the same time, in accordance with the current Tariffs and Rules of the UZCARD Payment System, if a service is subject to taxation, such taxes shall be payable on top of the approved tariff, unless otherwise explicitly provided for in the tariff conditions.

VAT is included in the cost of the following services:

– requests for UZCARD card tokens under the “Autopaytoken” service;

– provision of card transaction history using the “Standard” method (up to 60 calendar days);

– provision of card transaction history using the “Extended” method (from 61 to 365 calendar days);

– provision of tokens of all UZCARD cards (DBC) using the “Scoring” method for further obtaining extended transaction history for creditworthiness and solvency assessment when issuing a credit or loan;

– organization of bank card personalization points.

VAT is charged in addition to the established tariff for the following services:

– participant registration and onboarding; support of issuer’s card issuance activities;

– support of issuance of SHERDOR UZCARD cards;

– provision of SMPP protocol; registration of accounts in the “SV-Gate” software;

– granting access to “SV-Gate” software via API;

– consulting services on organizational and technical integration in compliance with the Operator’s information security requirements;

– initial registration and connection of ATMs, POS terminals, and online cash registers (KKT), as well as ATM network integration via H2H;

– testing of non-certified or modified equipment;

– certification (including testing) of non-certified or modified equipment.

These changes are aimed at aligning the tariff approach with current tax regulations and shall take effect from April 1, 2026.

JSC “CRPC” kindly requests payment service providers to take into account the updated VAT application procedure in their operations.
