In Azerbaijan, it is necessary to differentiate the rates of value-added tax (VAT), Chairman of the parliamentary committee on economic policy, industry and entrepreneurship Ziyad Samadzade said at a conference on "Taxes. Transparency: Development."

He said that the VAT rates must be differentiated depending on priorities.

"How much it is necessary to set the rates for VAT at the same level for all? I think that it is necessary to set priorities and differentiate VAT rates. You can apply different rates - six, seven, ten percent, and so on," said Samadzade.
