DUSHANBE, Tajikistan, December 25. The import
and subsequent supply of solar panels to Tajikistan, as well as
their spare parts and components, are exempt from value-added tax
until 2031, Trend
reports via the Government of Tajikistan.
This draft amendment to the Tax Code of Tajikistan, proposed by
the government, was approved by the Majlis Namoyandagon (lower
house of parliament) on December 12 and supported by the Majlisi
Milli (Upper House of Parliament) on December 15.
A draft law introduced by members of parliament proposes a new
provision to Part 10 of Article 251 of the Tax Code, which would
exempt the import and subsequent supply of renewable energy
equipment—such as solar panels, including inverters and energy
storage devices—as well as their spare parts and components, from
value-added tax.
Additionally, the proposed amendments to Part 1 of Article 347
of the Tax Code stipulate that real estate properties equipped with
solar panels having a capacity of at least 0.1 MW will be exempt
from property tax for a period of five years.
This initiative is part of broader efforts to promote renewable
energy within the country. Notably, the Government of Tajikistan
has already approved the "Program for the Development of the
Electric Power Sector for 2026–2030," alongside an action plan
aimed at its execution. The program focuses on enhancing the
national energy infrastructure, prioritizing the use of hydropower
and other renewable energy sources, while also advancing the
digitalization and modernization of the sector.
