Sometimes tax system is unfairly called as a
burden. Meanwhile, it performs one of the most important functions in the
economy; it acts as a kind of circulatory system, regulating the direction of
financial flows. Tax system is what exactly stands for the growth of industrial
production, increases small businesses’ share in national economy, raises
foreign investment and supports Uzbekistan’s
strong social sector. New privileges and preferences granted to the business in
2012 have become another new confirmation of the stimulating role of the taxes.
