Azerbaijan launches tax free system
Azerbaijan’s parliament has approved the amendments to the country’s Tax Code, launching a tax free system, under which the goods purchased in the country’s territory by foreigners and stateless persons will be exempted from VAT.
Tax free is a mechanism of refunding the VAT paid by foreign citizens during purchase of the goods not meant for production or commercial needs.

Foreign citizens can benefit from tax free system, if the cost of purchased goods per one e-tax invoice is not less than 300 Azerbaijani manats, including VAT.

The goods should be taken out of Azerbaijan’s territory within 90 days from the date of purchase.

Standard VAT rate in Azerbaijan is 18 percent. Regardless of the transfer method, foreign citizens will be refunded the amount of VAT paid for the purchased goods after withholding 20 percent service fee.
