The situation intensifies public attention to the lack of transparency in the potential sale of the state-owned property. Fiscal pressure on a strategically important operator can affect the company&#8217;s stability and trust in the investment climate.  <\/p>\n<p><strong>What happened<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>UzPost was additionally charged 26.21 billion soums in VAT and 5.24 billion soums in fines for transit services to foreign companies in 2021-2023.<\/li>\n<li>The legal battle lasted almost a year: initially, the company won, but in September 2025, the court overturned the lower courts&#8217; decisions.<\/li>\n<li>Now UzPost is obligated to pay almost 31.5 billion soums \u2014 with a profit of 843.9 million soums for the entire year 2024.<\/li>\n<li>At the same time, the media and the market are discussing whether UzPost has been sold \u2014 referring to a possible deal with Wildberries, but it hasn&#8217;t been officially confirmed.<\/li>\n<li>The fiscal grievances coincided with the reorganization of UzPost ownership: this could be perceived as a settlement stage before the sale.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Context<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>UzPost is a national postal operator, listed as a strategic enterprise.
