How to open a taxi fleet in Uzbekistan
A 2026 step-by-step guide: registering the business, licensing, connecting to Yandex Go, commissions and taxes, driver requirements and automation.
Opening a taxi fleet in Uzbekistan means registering the business, obtaining the necessary permits, connecting to order aggregators and setting up work with drivers and payouts. Below is a step-by-step plan based on the current regulations. Requirements and rates change periodically, so verify the latest details with official sources (the Ministry of Transport of Uzbekistan, my.gov.uz, lex.uz).
Step-by-step plan
Register the business
Register as a sole proprietor (YaTT) or an LLC (MChJ). Registration is done online via the my.gov.uz portal or at a public services centre using a digital signature and PINFL — the procedure takes about one business day. The state fee is roughly one BRV (the base calculation value; from 1 August 2025 the BRV = 412,000 UZS), with a discount for online submission.
Obtain the licence and permits
Passenger road transport in Uzbekistan is licensed by the Ministry of Transport (the base regulation is Cabinet of Ministers Resolution No. 994 of 05.12.2018). Passenger-car taxi drivers work under a licence card and self-employed status, which are issued via MyGov. Important: the licence is only valid in the region it was issued for. Take recent acts into account — for example, CMR No. 200 of 02.04.2025 and the non-linear taxi experiment in Tashkent, in effect until the end of 2026.
Connect to an aggregator
The main source of orders is aggregators. Become a partner fleet of Yandex Go and/or Wildberries Taxi. A self-employed driver appoints the fleet as their commission agent, while the fleet acts as a partner in the service's dispatch system. Factor in the commissions: from 1 December 2023 the Yandex Go commission from partner fleets was raised to 14.6%, and the fleet also sets its own commission on top of that. Check the current commission with the service.
Recruit drivers and cars
Attract drivers with their own cars or provide fleet vehicles. For commercial passenger transport, an annual driver medical check-up and an annual vehicle technical inspection are mandatory. A strong argument for drivers to choose your fleet is fast, transparent payouts. More for drivers: working at a taxi fleet.
Automate accounting and payouts
So the fleet runs without manual routine, connect SAFA ONE: receiving aggregator orders, instant card payouts to drivers via a Telegram bot, and full fleet control in a single panel.
Taxes and commissions: what matters
- From 1 January 2026, the service automatically withholds 1% income tax from a self-employed driver's earnings on every order (based on Presidential Resolution PP-247 of 12.08.2025).
- If a driver's annual income exceeds 1 billion UZS, the 1% withholding stops and the general regime applies (profit tax and VAT).
- In practice, a driver pays two commissions: to the aggregator service and to your taxi fleet. Transparent accounting of these amounts is an important part of drivers' trust in the fleet.
Important: regulatory requirements and the amounts of fees, licences and commissions change periodically. Before launching, verify the latest data with official sources — the Ministry of Transport of Uzbekistan, my.gov.uz, lex.uz — and consult a lawyer if needed.
