This article examines the impact of government policy on entrepreneurs' tax behavior. Changes in tax policy, simplification of the tax system, tax incentives, subsidies, and increased tax control directly influence entrepreneurs' economic activities. Recent tax reforms and economic policy changes in Uzbekistan have contributed to supporting small and medium-sized businesses and improving tax compliance behavior. The article also discusses the effects of tax system changes on economic growth and the state budget, the reduction of tax evasion cases, and successes in combating corruption. The research findings highlight the crucial role of government policy in organizing an efficient tax system and fostering a fair economic environment.
