How-To Guides: Tajikistan SaaS VAT

Step: 1 Threshold

Effective January 21, 2021, Tajikistan requires non-resident vendors (including online platforms) of digital services to consumers (B2C) in Tajikistan to register for and collect VAT, regardless of the sales amount.

Step: 2 Business Registration

Registration is completed online via the Tax Committee under the Government of the Republic of Tajikistan. Foreign entities use the “E-Filing system for foreigners” (e-VAT) portal. The application must be submitted within 20 days of the first taxable supply.

Step: 3 TIN/VAT Number

TIN (Taxpayer Identification Number) is a unique 9-digit number assigned upon registration.

Step: 1 Standard VAT Rate

In Tajikistan, the standard VAT rate is 14% (currently in effect under recent tax reforms).

Step: 2 VAT Formula

To calculate your tax amount, use this formula:

Tax Amount = Net Price x Rate %

Step: 3 Reverse Charge (B2B)

Yes. Foreign suppliers do not charge VAT on B2B sales to registered Tajik businesses. The local business buyer acts as a “Tax Agent” and must self-assess and pay the VAT to the authorities.

Step: 1 Selling B2C

Foreign suppliers must charge 14% VAT on all digital services supplied to individuals (non-business customers) in Tajikistan.

Step: 2 Selling B2B

Do not charge VAT. Ensure you validate the customer’s TIN and indicate “Reverse Charge” on the invoice.

Step: 3 Invoice Requirements

There is no strict e-invoicing mandate for foreign B2C, but records must be clear. Commercial invoices should include:

• Supplier Name and Address
• Buyer Name (and TIN for B2B)
• Date of Issue
• Description of Service
• Net Amount and Currency
• For B2B: Reference to “Reverse Charge”

Step: 1 Filing Interval

Taxes are filed quarterly.

Step: 2 Filing Deadline

Taxes must be filed by the 10th day of the month following the reporting quarter (e.g., April 10 for Q1).

Step: 3 Submission

File returns electronically via the Andoz (E-Filing) portal for foreign providers. Payments are made via bank transfer using the payment details provided in the portal.

Step: 4 Record Keeping

All tax records should be kept for 5 years.
