EU helps establish independent taxpayers’ protection institution in Azerbaijan
The establishment of an Independent Institute for Taxpayers’ Rights Protection in Azerbaijan is the focus of an expert mission to the country’s capital Baku that started yesterday organised by the Technical Assistance and Information Exchange Instrument of the European Commission (TAIEX) in cooperation with the Taxes Ministry of Azerbaijan. During the mission, the EU experts will share with their Azerbaijani colleagues detailed information on the establishment and functioning of an independent institution conceived to promote and protect taxpayers’ rights, TAIEX said.
TAIEX is a demand-driven tool that supports partner countries with the approximation of national laws, regulations and quality standards to those of EU Member States in the framework of Cooperation or Association agreements signed with the EU. In the Eastern Neighbourhood, TAIEX works with Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine. -0-
