Uzbekistan Studies South Korea Digital Tax System

Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.com) — The delegation of the Tax Committee of the Republic of Uzbekistan continued its working visit to the Republic of Korea, where on the second day of the program in Jeju City it studied key elements of the country’s digital tax system and discussed potential areas for applying advanced practices in Uzbekistan.

During the visit, meetings and practical discussions were held with representatives of the Jeju Regional Tax Office. The Uzbek side examined South Korea’s approach to digitalizing tax administration, ensuring transparency of procedures, and improving the speed of interaction with taxpayers.

Special attention was given to the NTIS and Hometax digital platforms, which are regarded as central components of South Korea’s tax infrastructure. The delegation reviewed their functional capabilities and their role in enabling electronic interaction between the state and taxpayers.

As part of the program, participants studied systems for evaluating the performance of tax officials, mechanisms for electronic submission of tax reports, practices for processing personal income tax declarations, and tools for remote services for citizens and businesses.

The South Korean experience in minimizing human factor influence in administrative processes, automating data analysis, and building a user-friendly digital environment for tax services was also highlighted.

Following the review, each of the examined elements was preliminarily identified as a potential area for adaptation and possible implementation within Uzbekistan’s tax administration system. These proposals are expected to be submitted to the leadership of the Tax Committee for further analysis.

Both sides noted that the exchanges and discussions contribute to strengthening professional cooperation between the tax authorities of the two countries and lay the groundwork for further institutional collaboration in the digitalization of public services.
