Azerbaijan"s international image, the situation in the car repair market, and the minimum wage tax are the topics of today's media.
The newspaper Azerbaijan writes about the country's high image in the international arena, as a reliable partner and sincere ally.
The author tells the story of the signed oil contracts, which have become the main reliable partnership activity of Azerbaijan. He writes about good neighborly relations with all countries, with the exception of Armenia.
The website Marja.az writes about the situation in the auto parts market, which has risen in price by 15-20% compared to last year.
Due to the high cost, you have to purchase used parts. Those who are engaged in this business in order to get out of the situation began to bring duplicate parts, which are often manufactured abroad not in factories, but in some workshops. In the neighboring Georgia, spare parts are much cheaper than in Azerbaijan. So, a part sold in Georgia for 20 manat costs 120 manat in Azerbaijan. A Mercedes windshield costs 700 manat in Azerbaijan and 220 manat in Georgia.
The website Fed.az is discussing with the expert Vugar Bayramov the tax on the minimum wage, which is 250 manat. According to the legislation, of this money, 7 manat is withheld as income tax, 7.50 manat - as social security contributions, and 2.25 manat - as unemployment insurance. Thus, out of 250 manat, 234.25 manat is issued to the people. The expert believes that with the exception of social payments, taxes should be removed. -0-----
