- Azerbaijan is shifting from a VAT withholding model to mandatory VAT registration for non-resident digital service providers.
- From January 1, 2026, foreign suppliers with over $10,000 in annual local sales must register for VAT, charge it to customers, and remit it to Azerbaijani authorities.
- The previous system, introduced in 2017, relied on payment providers to withhold VAT, but this will be fully replaced by the new registration requirement.
