Owners of motor vehicles registered in foreign countries transiting through the territory of the Republic of Azerbaijan or persons driving such vehicles will be considered road tax payers, and vehicles belonging to such persons will be considered subject to road tax.

According to APA, this was reflected in the amendment to the Tax Code, which was discussed at today's meeting of the Economic Policy, Industry and Entrepreneurship Committee of the Milli Majlis.

Thus, the road tax for those vehicles will be as follows:

Duration of stay in the country

When the volume of the engine is up to 2000 cubic centimeters

When the engine volume is from 2000 cubic centimeters to 4000 cubic centimeters

When the engine volume is more than 4000 cubic centimeters

up to 1 month

15 USD

20 USD

40 USD

up to 3 months

30 USD

40 USD

60 USD

up to 1 year

40 USD

80 USD

120 USD

Over 1 year

USD 40 + USD 0.5 for each day remaining over 1 year

$80 + $0.6 for each day remaining over 1 year

$120+ $1.2 per day remaining over 1 year

Also, the increases applied to the road tax due to the transportation of dangerous goods, including the provision to increase the tax by 0.15 US dollars for each kilometer of the road traveled in the territory of the Republic of Azerbaijan, if the total weight of vehicles including cargo is from 38 tons to 41 tons, is canceled.

It was noted that since the rates of road tax applied to motor vehicles of foreign countries, which must be subject to road tax when entering the territory of the Republic of Azerbaijan and leaving the territory of the Republic of Azerbaijan, are multi-level, the calculation of road tax, the determination of dangerous goods in the declared goods and the determination of its rates are significant. it causes a loss of time, which has a negative effect on the time of passing through the territory of the state border crossing point.
