Taxes ministry creates body to deal with e-audit
The Azerbaijani Ministry of Taxes is creating a special organisation to deal with an electronic audit, Deputy Minister Sahib Alakbarov told Trend news agency.
"In the coming days we intend to make changes to the structure of the ministry," he said. "This will be a very strong organisation consisting of IT specialists and tax employees. This organisation will begin its activity in early 2013 enabling us to conduct an e-audit."
He said that the project of introducing e-audit is under completion.
"Specialists at the ministry underwent special training," he said. "The project, consisting of six components (establishing a legal framework, the information base and staff training), is under completion."
The electronic audit is intended to protect the rights of taxpayers. An automated information system is required for its application. The Ministry of Taxes has the system, including all the possibilities for an e-audit, the ministry said. Using an electronic audit will reduce the number of on-site inspections by 90 per cent.
