End of the "Golden Era": Uzbekistan to finally tax entertainers and they are not happy

Starting September 1, 2026, entertainers in Uzbekistan may be required to pay a specific tax for every wedding performance, with rates ranging from UZS 103,000 to UZS 1.236 million. The final amount will depend on the performer’s official rating and the location of the event. This proposal, recently released for public discussion, has ignited a fierce debate, drawing sharp criticism from famous figures who have effectively operated without paying a penny in income tax.
