Minister: Azerbaijan expects to lower share of revenues from oil sector in 2021

Azerbaijan expects to lower the share of revenues from the oil sector by 4 percent in 2021, Finance Minister Samir Sharifov said at a meeting of the Parliamentary Committee on Economic Policy, Industry and Entrepreneurship. 

According to Sharifov, one of the main goals is to increase the share of the non-oil sector in revenues.

Next year, taxes are expected to come from the non-oil sector in the amount of 5.67 billion manat ($3.34 billion), he said.

The minister stressed that growth in income tax is not expected this year, given the application of a number of tax incentives in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic.
