Media Review December 2018

Complaints about gas supply to consumers, changes in tax legislation, rules for keeping property records are the topics of today's media.

The newspaper "Azerbaijan" writes about the gas problems in winter. The structures do not seriously respond to consumer complaints. The center of operational services "104" does not respond either. It is impossible to reach them, but even if someone is lucky, you have to wait for hours. Gas supply to the apartments often fails, although Azerigaz reported back in the fall that everything was ready for winter.

The site "Bizimyol" cites the opinion of an expert offering to save employers from social security payments.

The planned changes and additions to the tax and social legislation are aimed at reducing the volume of the shadow economy and approving the "white salary".

The site "Moderator.az" also writes about changes to the Tax Code, according to which both waiters and tailors will pay tax. Expert Rovshan Agayev considers this not only an economic issue, but also a political one - everyone should contribute to the budget - both those who earn 100 manats and those who make 100 million. Such a system has been operating in France since the time of Napoleon.
