In January, the subjects of foreign economic relations transferred 103.6 million manat to the State Customs Committee, which is 119 thousand manat less than in the comparable period of 2015, the department told Turan.
Imports of goods decreased 23% in January compared to January 2015.
In December last year, customs officials collected 200.8 million manats of customs duties and taxes.
It is noteworthy that in the wake of the government’s declared fight against monopolies, the customs service said on simplification of customs procedures for importers. However, as soon as these measures were taken, entrepreneurs began to complain about the high level of fees. Some importers say that with the help of customs brokers, they paid less tax than it is now.
In 2016, the plan for customs taxes and duties is unchanged at 1 billion 590 million manats. ----08B
