After
independence, the economy transition of the Azerbaijan Republic to market
principles caused, as in other areas, the need for fundamental reforms in the
tax system. As is known, taxes form the basis of the tax system.
The tax
system of Azerbaijan has created an effective mechanism for collecting tax
arrears. Recently there have been major advances in the reduction of tax
arrears, as well as reducing the number of tax debtors.
Today,
Azerbaijan has defined the integration of the tax system to the standards
applied in the European Union as one of its goals. In accordance with the
development strategy of the national economy, in recent years there has been
some success in improving the tax system, significant work has been done to
bring the tax authorities up to modern European standards, to build tax
legislation and administer in accordance with modern requirements.
One of
the most important elements of the tax system of Azerbaijan is the creation of
a favorable business environment, the focus of business on economic
development, and compliance with the economic interests of not only the state,
but also entrepreneurs and citizens.
