From November 1, 2025, a number of important changes will be implemented at the national level. According to documents and decrees, this date is expected to remain in history as the day when significant changes in the social, economic, and administrative spheres begin.
The procedure for paying unemployment benefits will be new
According to the presidential decree adopted in August, the rules for issuing unemployment benefits will be fundamentally changed from November 1. From now on, business entities will have to form a mandatory reserve of jobs for certain categories of citizens. These include persons with disabilities, victims of domestic violence, members of low-income families, and orphans or persons deprived of parental care.
This reserve should not exceed 3% of the total number of workers. This procedure will apply to organizations with more than 100 employees.
Now unemployment benefits are paid only to citizens whose employment contracts have been terminated. If a person has worked for at least 18 months in the last 5 years and applies within 6 months, the benefit is paid for 3 months based on their last salary. In the first month - 75 percent, in the next two months - 50 percent, but not more than 3 times the minimum wage.
Digital opportunities and benefits for entrepreneurs
From November 1, a special legal regime is introduced for individual entrepreneurs and self-employed persons. This system will be in effect until 2030, and all processes - from state registration to tax payment - will be carried out through a digital platform.
An electronic wallet system will be implemented. This will make it easier for entrepreneurs to receive income, make tax and other payments. At the same time, opening a bank account will not be mandatory.
QR codes and "tap to pay" technologies are used in these processes. Documents can be signed via biometric data or SMS. This paper will be equivalent to documents. Also, the practice of "daily payment" will be introduced as an experiment.
The tax burden will be significantly reduced
Starting November 1, large tax benefits will be introduced for entrepreneurs. Each of them will be issued a universal QR code, through which it will be possible to make payments in all mobile payment applications.
From the new year, entrepreneurs with a turnover of up to 1 billion soums will pay only 1 percent of the turnover tax. For example, those who previously paid 12 million soums in taxes for a turnover of 100 million soums will now pay only 1 million soums. This will reduce their tax burden by 3-4 times.
Amnesty has been declared for 20 thousand entrepreneurs
In an open dialogue with entrepreneurs, President Shavkat Mirziyoyev announced that penalties for tax audits will not be applied to more than 20 thousand entrepreneurs. It will be possible to start their ranking from a clean page.
These entrepreneurs will be given the opportunity to voluntarily correct their mistakes by November 1. Thus, the business sector will have the opportunity to operate in a healthy competitive environment.
Reduction and digitalization in public administration
According to the presidential decree of October 4, 2141 staff positions in the executive branch system will be reduced starting November 1st. Among them, 1,863 positions will be excluded from budget organizations, and 278 from extra-budgetary funds.
These reforms are being implemented to introduce digital technologies, optimize government functions, and more actively involve the private sector. Also, the number of deputy heads in committees and agencies will be reduced by 16.
November 1st marks not only a new date in the calendar but also the beginning of a new stage in public administration, entrepreneurship, and the social sphere. These changes are aimed at adapting the country's economy to modern requirements, expanding citizens' opportunities, and deepening digital reforms.
