From 23 August 2026, non‑resident providers of digital services to Azerbaijani consumers must register with the tax administration and charge 18% VAT, replacing the previous withholding‑tax regime. The VAT registration threshold is AZN 17,000 per annum, and the current VAT rate of 18% applies to all domestically supplied digital services. Implementation guidance and FAQs are expected before the August deadline.

Azerbaijan’s Parliament has approved a new VAT regime for non‑resident digital service providers, requiring local registration, charging, collecting and remitting VAT from 1 January 2026. The change replaces the previous withholding‑tax or optional‑registration system, introduces a USD 10 000 annual sales threshold and ends the B2B reverse charge that had been in place since 2023. The current VAT rate on digital services remains 18%.

Azerbaijan has announced a mandatory VAT regime for digital services supplied by non‑resident providers, requiring them to register, charge VAT and file returns. The scope covers software, SaaS, cloud, streaming, digital content, online advertising, digital marketing, platform access and other automated services. Detailed thresholds, filing frequency and administrative requirements are still pending clarification.
