- Azerbaijan is introducing a new VAT system for non-resident digital service providers, replacing the current bank-based withholding approach for untaxed foreign B2C digital supplies.
- From September 1, 2026, VAT registration becomes mandatory once B2C digital service sales in Azerbaijan exceed USD 10,000 per year; until then, registration is voluntary.
- Non-resident providers must register, file VAT returns, and remit VAT through a simplified online tax portal operated by the State Tax Service.
- The rules apply only to B2C digital services; B2B transactions are handled under the normal VAT rules by the local VAT-registered recipient.
- Covered services include e-books, music, videos, images, games, software, online ads, and similar electronic services.
