This article analyzes the role of digital tax administration in stimulating innovation and promoting the sustainable development of the service sector, based on Uzbekistan’s experience in transitioning to a green economy. The study examines how the introduction of digital technologies in tax administration contributes to improving economic efficiency, reducing administrative burdens, enhancing transparency, and supporting environmentally sustainable business practices. Special attention is paid to the impact of digital tax tools on encouraging green innovations, optimizing resource use, and improving the quality and sustainability of public and private services. The research employs comparative and analytical methods to assess recent reforms in Uzbekistan’s tax system and their alignment with green economy principles. The findings indicate that digital tax administration serves as an effective instrument for fostering innovation-driven growth, strengthening environmental responsibility, and ensuring long-term sustainability in the service sector.
