Tajikistan, with its strategic location in Central Asia, offers unique opportunities for businesses looking to expand into new markets. As the country continues to develop its economy, understanding the landscape of company registration, taxation, and available services is crucial for entrepreneurs and investors.

Incorporating a company in Tajikistan

Opening a business in Tajikistan (Establishing a Company in Tajikistan) involves several key steps. First, it’s essential to choose the appropriate legal structure, such as a limited liability company (LLC), joint-stock company (JSC), individual entrepreneur (IE), branch of foreign enterprise (permanent establishment) or others. Some businesses are required to obtain licenses to legally operate in their specific sectors. The registration process typically includes:

1.         Company Name: Entrepreneurs must choose a name for the company that is correct and meaningful in accordance with local legislation. The chosen name must be approved by the State Registration Authority.

2.         Director and Legal Address: It is necessary to appoint a director and have a rented office for the legal address of the company.

3.         Preparation of Documents: Necessary documents include the owner's decision (owner’s protocol), rent agreement, and details of shareholders and directors.

4.         Registration: Submit the application and documents to the State Registration Authority. Upon approval, you will receive a registration certificate.

Certain companies are required under the Tax Code of the Republic of Tajikistan to establish a branch (Permanent Establishment) if they engage in local construction contracts within the country.

Navigating these steps can be complex, which is where professional assistance can be invaluable.

Taxation in Tajikistan

Tajikistan has a relatively straightforward tax system, but understanding the specifics is crucial for compliance and planning. Key taxes include:

•           Corporate Profit Tax: Generally, set at 18%, with potential deductions available.

•           Simplified Tax for Small and Medium Businesses: The rate is 6%, without deductions.

•           Value Added Tax (VAT): Standard VAT rate is 14%, applicable to most goods and services.

•           Employee Remuneration Taxes: Tax on income for employee remuneration includes a Personal Income Tax of 12% to 15%, a Pension Tax of 2%, and a Social Tax of 20%.

Tajikistan also has a special taxation system, which includes special and simplified tax regimes. The special tax regime covers the taxation of the activities of free economic zones, the taxation of securities market entities and the taxation of individuals engaged in entrepreneurial activities based on a patent. The simplified tax regime includes simplified taxation of small businesses, agricultural producers (unified agricultural tax), gambling businesses, as well as activities in poultry farming, fish farming, combined feed production and innovative technological activities.

Additionally, businesses may be subject to various local taxes and fees. Staying informed about tax obligations is essential to avoid penalties and optimize financial performance.
