The calculation of the normative value of agricultural land is inextricably linked with the soil quality index (SQI), which determines the fertility of the soil. As decreasing and increasing coefficients in the growth of productivity in 11 agriultural farms of “Pakhtaobod” massif of Nishan adiminstrative district of Kashkadarya province, when the normative value changed for the better, the amount of land tax decreased by 18.933.000 UZS (19.5%) and in 10 agriсultural farms the increase in the amount of land tax by 7.070.820 UZS (15.8%) in the negative condition.
