How low-income citizens can get 12% off their purchases of meat, eggs and butter

Starting from May 1, citizens of Uzbekistan who are on the social register will be able to receive a 12% VAT refund when buying certain consumer goods such as meat, eggs, and butter.
This is in accordance with a presidential decree issued on April 5. To receive the refund, consumers must use the Soliq mobile application, register with Face ID, and scan the QR code on their purchase receipt.
The refund will only apply to goods on a list of eligible products, and the entrepreneur must be registered as a VAT payer.
If a check includes both eligible and non-eligible goods, the refund will only apply to the eligible items.
The refund will be credited through the Soliq app after the 25th day of the month following the purchase.
The deputy minister of Economy and Finance has stated that targeted support through compensation rather than VAT exemptions is a more effective way to support socially vulnerable segments of the population.
