New initiatives have been introduced aimed at strengthening the budgets of the mahallas. Initially, it was planned that the mahalla budgets for this year would amount to 600 billion sums.
Changes in Taxation and Fines
By a Presidential decree adopted in June, the share of land and property tax paid into the mahalla was increased from 10% to 15%. Additionally, 10% of fines for violating sanitary norms and illegal construction will now go to the mahalla.
New Opportunities for Mahallas
It has also been permitted for the mahallas themselves to sell buildings up to 5 thousand square meters. This will allow an increase in revenue to the mahalla budgets by another 405 billion sums.
Now, 5% of the land and property tax collected from real estate objects in the mahalla will also go directly to the mahalla itself. Thanks to this, the mahallas will receive an additional 400 billion sums annually.
Incentives and Budget Forecast
During the year, 200 mahallas that demonstrate the highest number of registered entrepreneurs, create the most new jobs, have the highest level of understanding, and have found the largest tax base will be awarded 2 billion sums.
Overall, according to the new initiatives, revenues to the mahalla budgets this year will reach 1 trillion 600 billion sums, and from next year—2 trillion sums.
Further Work of the Leadership
Under the chairmanship of President Shavkat Mirziyoyev, video selection meetings continue regarding the implementation of a new environment in the mahallas and the updating of 'mahalla yettiligi' activities.
