Аннотация

This article analyzes the financial mechanisms for optimally harmonizing the interests of the state and investors
in oil and gas projects, particularly the system of taxation and customs payments, as well as the rationale for introducing
separate reporting. Based on the Law of the Republic of Uzbekistan “On Production Sharing Agreements” (2001), various
editions of the Tax Code, and the Customs Code, the study examines tax incentives, tax rates, mandatory payments,
and customs procedures provided for participants of Production Sharing Agreements (PSA). Using practical PSA cases,
the mechanisms for balancing state and investor interests are demonstrated. Based on the research findings, recommendations
are developed to enhance the investment attractiveness of PSAs and ensure the effective protection of state
interests.
