Zibil qutularına nəzarət edən Laçın köçkünü: 'Bakı mənə türmədi, qayıtmaq istəyirəm' (Arxiv. 2022)
According to local media reports in Azerbaijan, the state's financial support for internally displaced persons (IDPs) acting as entrepreneurs will be suspended starting in August. The state budget for 2023 allocates 366.7 million Manats for the social protection of IDPs. Currently, individuals with IDP status and those equated to them, totaling 474,000 people, receive a monthly allowance of 60 Manats (less than $33).
The State Committee on affairs of refugees and IDPs clarified to the Turan agency that this measure is not new and is governed by a law in effect since 2017, approved by the Cabinet of Ministers. The law states that IDPs engaged in active entrepreneurial activity will have their monthly allowance suspended. The committee further explained that if the entrepreneurial activity becomes unsustainable or nonviable due to economic competition, individuals can close their tax identification number (TIN) by contacting the tax authorities. Once the entrepreneurial activity is considered complete, they can resume receiving the monthly allowance.
Ilgar Huseynli, the head of the Social Strategic Research and Analytical Research Public Union, questioned why this decision is being implemented now if it has existed since 2017. He attributed the delayed implementation to inefficiencies within the public administration system, citing several other laws and decrees that have remained unimplemented for years.
Huseynli raised important concerns regarding the clarity of identifying small entrepreneurs among the families receiving social benefits and the amount of taxes they pay. He explained RadioAzadliq that one member of families receiving social benefits is required to have a job, potentially leading many families to register a TIN in the name of a family member. He questioned whether there is a clear definition of who these small entrepreneurs are and the extent of their tax contributions.
An IDP from Jabrayil, who preferred to remain anonymous and is involved in a small business, expressed opposition to cutting off their "breadwinners." They argued that since they have not been able to return to their ancestral lands, their lives as settlers continue. They suggested that the government show patience and consider the long-standing connection they have had with their TINs.
