Why is this important
5+ million Soliq users must update the application by December 1, otherwise they will not be able to pay taxes, fines, or receive certificates. The update of security certificates protects against cyber threats — in 2025, 46 thousand cybercrimes were registered (+68 times since 2020). Blocking access from abroad until December 1 will hit Uzbek citizens abroad (labor migrants, students, tourists).
What happened
- The Tax Committee conducted tax prevention;
- From December 1, old versions do not work — updating is required;
- Security certificates against cyber threats have been updated;
- Access from abroad is restricted until December 1;
- Authorization issues occurred on November 4.
Why update
- Security enhancement: SSL/TLS certificates have been updated to protect against cyber threats — phishing, hacking, data interception.
- The problem: cybercrime has increased 68 times since 2020 — 46 thousand in 2025, with a loss of 1.2 trillion. Fraudsters hack OneID, steal passwords, issue microloans, and impose fines.
- Solution: new certificates encrypt data and protect it from hacking.
What has changed
- Security certificates: SSL/TLS certificates provide data encryption between the application and the Tax Committee servers. Old certificates are outdated, new ones protect against modern cyber threats.
- Old versions aren’t working: from December 1st, apps without updated certificates won’t be able to connect to servers.
Restricted access from abroad
- Until December 1: Users outside of Uzbekistan will be temporarily unable to log into Soliq.
- The reason: strengthening security — checking that access is made from the territory of Uzbekistan, excluding attacks from abroad.
Problems on November 4
- Authorization failed: on the evening of November 4, users could not log into the application due to scheduled maintenance.
- Reason: updating servers, replacing certificates.
- Solution: install a new version of the application.
How to update
- Android: Google Play → Soliq → Update.
- iOS: App Store → Soliq → Update.
- Manually: delete the old version, install a new one.

Context
- Cyber threats are growing: 46 thousand cybercrimes in 2025 (+68 times since 2020), the damage amounted to 1.2 trillion. Fraudsters hack OneID, Soliq, process microloans, and issue fines. Certificate updates — protection.
- Blocking from abroad: it will hit 2-3 million labor migrants, students, and tourists who do not have access to Tax until December 1. They will not be able to pay taxes, fines.
- December 1st is the deadline: after this date, old versions will stop working altogether. 5+ million users need to update the app.
- Prevention on November 4: caused authorization issues. The tax committee apologized, but did not warn in advance.
