- Tax system
- Worldwide Residents are taxed on worldwide income; non-residents on Tajikistan-source income (Tax Code). Personal income tax uses category rates rather than a progressive schedule: 12% on resident employment at the main workplace above the monthly personal deduction, 15% on other individual income without Article 191 deductions, and 20% on non-resident employment from Tajik sources. Corporate income tax is 18% for most activities from 1 January 2026 (the former 13% rate for goods production expired on 31 December 2025 per Article 397(13)); credit and financial organisations and mobile companies pay 20%. Standard VAT is 14% through 31 December 2026, then 13% from 1 January 2027 (Article 397(4)). Social tax is 20% for employers and 2% for employees in the private sector (higher rates apply to budget institutions).
