Opposition NGOs at gunpoint of fiscal authorities
Today's plenary session of the Milli Mejlis made a so-called technical change in the Tax Code of the Republic of Azerbaijan. Thus, in the previous version of paragraph 1.2 of Article 165 (exempting tax at the zero rate) in "Value Added Tax" were acceptable goods, works and services through grants and repayable financial assistance received from abroad.
Now the import of goods, the provision of goods, works and services to recipients from abroad will be carried out on the basis of grant agreements (decisions.)
Translated into plain language it means the governmental control of financial flows (through the Ministry of Justice and Ministry of Taxes.) That is, the opposition and independent NGOs and their donors will at gunpoint of authorities. -17D-
