The Ministry of Taxes of Azerbaijan has already begun the electronic registration of limited liability companies (LLC) with local investments, First Deputy Minister of Taxes Natig Amirov told Trend on Tuesday.
"This has become possible since the amendments to the Code of Administrative Offences and the laws On State Registration of Legal Entities and State Register and On State Duty came into force." Mr Amirov said.
