Changes to VAT Deposit Account Rules in Azerbaijan

• Changes have been made to the rules regarding the VAT deposit account.
• The requirement to include the VAT deposit account details in electronic invoices issued by sellers to buyers, in electronic invoices issued by persons engaged in building construction activities to buyers, and in receipts and checks issued to buyers during the retail sale of agricultural products has been removed.
• The deadline for submitting information on VAT liabilities to the treasury has been changed.
• Taxpayers can now make payments from their VAT sub-account to the state budget until 2:15 PM, and the State Tax Service will submit the relevant documents to the State Treasury Agency by 2:30 PM.
• This change was made based on requests from taxpayers and was discussed extensively with business entities during meetings of the Commission on Business Environment and International Ratings’ “Tax and Accountability” working group.
• The change will increase the payment period from the VAT sub-account to the state budget, speed up the process of transferring documents to the State Treasury Agency, and ensure that payments are transferred to the relevant local treasury bodies during the day.
• This change, which serves the interests of businesses and entrepreneurs, will allow taxpayers to fulfill their VAT obligations more quickly and eliminate situations such as the calculation of additional interest.
