Private Banks Have Virtually No Tax Debts
The Ministry of Taxes has announced that of the four banks liquidated on July 21 (Deka Bank, Credo Bank, Para Bank, and Zamin Bank) only the latter has tax arrears, the amount of which is only AZN 457.34.
The Financial Markets Control House of Azerbaijan withdrew the licenses of the four banks on 21 July. The reason for the withdrawal of their licenses is that ‘the assets of these banks are not classified in accordance with the law, they do not have the necessary reserves, and the total capital does not meet the minimum requirements of 50 million AZN.’ -0-
