TAX MINISTRY OFFICIALS MEET WITH BUSINESSMEN
The Minister said that solid foundation for economic development of Azerbaijan was laid by President Heydar Aliyev after his coming to power. Due to his efforts, political and socio-economic stability was established in Azerbaijan. In accordance with President Heydar Aliyev’s decree of February 11, 2000, main state tax inspection was transformed into the central executive power body, which pursues a single tax policy of Azerbaijan and provides duly and full collection of taxes. In late 2000, a training center was formed under the ministry. At present, people of Azerbaijan are the first among CIS countries to present their complaints and be inquired about current issues by dialing “195”.
Executive Director of the United States Chamber of Commerce in Azerbaijan Janel Closh, chairman of the Association of Banks of Azerbaijan Zakir Nuriyev, Chairman of the Stock Company “Khazar” Gudrat Karimov and others noted that tax policy plays a vitally important role in stimulation of economy.
