Abstract: This article is devoted to the formation of the tax system of Uzbekistan in 1991-2019
and the stages of its improvement, during which one of the main factors of rapid development of the
economy of our country is the implementation of the correct tax policy, the consistent continuation
of the tax policy aimed at achieving these goals.
Key words: Tax, Budget, Tax Policy, Investment, Payment Systems, tax offices, tax code, tax
burden, tax deduction.
The tax system serves to generate revenue for the state and its territories, and to sustain the
well-being of the country's population.
Since the first days of independence in Uzbekistan, much attention has been paid to creating
an effective tax system and this issue is considered as the most important factor for ensuring the
success of socio-economic reforms.
What is the tax itself? Taxes are mandatory fees charged to the state and local budgets at fixed
rates from business entities and citizens. The introduction of taxes is directly related to the need to
harmonize the financial base of state bodies, business activities, social development, protection of
natural resources and the environment [1; p 107 ].
The collapse of the former Soviet Union with its hierarchically
centralized state structure
opened the way to the creation of a new economic system-a market economy and the creation of
a cost-effective tax system [2, p. 112; 3, p.114].
The economic power of each independent state is generated by the state budget, which is
formed on the basis of taxes, in particular its financial system. During the years of independence, the
Republic of Uzbekistan was dictated by the liberalization of foreign economic activity and the state's
stimulation of the functioning of the tax system as a state institution that contributes to the
achievement of these goals. Implementation of this task was difficult for young Uzbekistan.
As we know from history, the tax system of Uzbekistan has been functioning for almost 130
years as a small part of the Russian tax system. First, the main goal of the tax policy was to replenish
the
state Treasury for Russia, and then for the countries of the former Union. Only the Central
government was given the authority to implement the tax system policy. There were no qualified
personnel who would develop tax policy and lay the Foundation for the organization
of the tax
service.
Secondly, the future of our Republic depended to a certain extent on the correct functioning
of the tax system. Tax policy in our country, it was necessary to introduce modern
methods and
principles of tax management, create an integrated system of tax authorities in accordance with
market principles.
Third, tax policy was developed based on the common interests of this current period.
Taking into account the socio-economic and demographic situation in the country, it was necessary
to develop a tax policy based on the national public interest, clearly and comprehensively define its
goals
and objectives, and quickly abandon the method of "shock therapy", which could lead to
severe economic and social consequences. From the first day of the state without experience in tax
policy, where there will be a recession, where it will be possible to achieve success, it was necessary
to solve such a serious issue.
