Media Review December 26, 2018
The role of the leader in development, the reasons for the lack of income declaration, distrust of the "tax denunciation", and the possible impact of the fall in oil prices on Azerbaijan are the leading topics of today's media.
The newspaper Azerbaijan assesses the factor of leadership in the development of the country. The author links the leadership with the name of Heydar and Ilham Aliyev. The article tells about the leadership of Ilham Aliyev since 2003, about his activities, as a result of which large-scale projects are being implemented.
The website Modern.az writes about the absence of income declarations in the country. The law on income declarations of officials was adopted in 2005, but so far it has not been implemented, although the law came into force on August 14, 2010. Deputy Vahid Ahmedov, commenting on the situation, believes the law should act, and officials should provide a declaration of income. In many CIS countries this is already being done. And then the presence of declarations will ensure transparency, the MP said. According to him, the question of non-compliance with the law on declarations should be addressed to the Cabinet of Ministers, which has to apply certain norms and make decisions.
The website Moderator.az talks about whether a "tax denunciation" can reduce the fact of tax evasion. According to the new amendments to the Law "On Taxes", payment of the reward is provided to those who inform the relevant authorities about the non-payment of taxes. To what extent it will be promising, or not, the expert Rovshan Agayev talks. He does not express optimism about this, even while ensuring anonymity.
The website Musavat.com writes that due to the fall in oil prices, Azerbaijan loses $ 28 million every day. How falling oil prices in the world market will affect Azerbaijan, the expert Vugar Bayramly talks. According to him, such a sharp fall in prices forced OPEC to hold an emergency meeting. Azerbaijan exports 783,000 barrels of oil daily. At current oil prices, the cost of exported oil has decreased by 28 million 188 thousand dollars. The expert predicts a decline in oil revenue in 2019. -0-
