Bloggers and Influencers in Azerbaijan Will Be Taxed — NEW UPDATE, OFFICIAL
The State Tax Service under the Ministry of Economy of the Republic of Azerbaijan has further improved digital tax administration to support the development of the digital economy, formally recognize the activities of individuals earning income through social media platforms (bloggers and influencers), and increase the transparency of their registration and accounting.
According to the information, in recent years, the number of individuals earning income through social networks and other digital platforms via advertising, marketing, promotion of products and services, content creation, live broadcasts, as well as various collaboration projects has increased significantly. At the same time, the absence of a separate category for this field in the existing classification of economic activities has made it difficult to register and statistically assess the activities of such individuals.
Taking this need into account, a new type of activity called “Digital Platform Influencer” (code 6312003) has been added to the classification of activities in the registration database. This change will enable the activities of individuals (bloggers and influencers) earning income through social media and other digital platforms to be formalized more accurately and transparently, their economic activities to be separately registered, and statistical data to be compiled more comprehensively.
The State Tax Service recommends that taxpayers operating in this field formalize their activities in accordance with legal requirements and select the new activity code when registering.
