BAKU, Azerbaijan, January 30. Azerbaijan's tax reforms further promote economic development and attract foreign capital to the country, Managing Partner of PwC in Azerbaijan Movlan Pashayev told Trend in an interview.

According to him, taxes and preferences are of the utmost importance since they help create the image of the country, and favorable conditions for running businesses and investing.

"Nevertheless, tax preferences cannot be seen as the main factor for business promotion. First of all, a stable economy and regulatory mechanisms are important for business, that is, the protection of businessmen and their investments. I also consider the role of intellectual property protection to be important. From the point of view of economic and social stability, Azerbaijan has no problems attracting investments and creating business in the country," he said.

Pashayev noted that Azerbaijan is undergoing a profound transformation in the tax field.

"A new tax strategy is expected to be adopted in the near future, which will reflect all the key and necessary actions that will further stimulate the development of the economy and attract foreign capital to Azerbaijan," he added.

A number of tax changes have come into force in Azerbaijan since January 1, 2023, including the exemption of some entrepreneurs from financial sanctions, VAT exemption for a number of business sectors, business subsidies, and others.
