How is VAT calculated on the retail sale of honey?
According to the Tax Code, the production of honey is classified as the production of an agricultural product. When agricultural products produced in the Republic of Azerbaijan are sold at retail, VAT is calculated not on the full selling price but only on the trade margin (markup).
For example, if a retailer purchases honey for AZN 20,000 and sells it for AZN 25,000, VAT is calculated by applying the 18% VAT rate to the AZN 5,000 trade margin.
This rule also applies to taxpayers who do not produce the product themselves but purchase it from the producer and sell it through retail outlets. The main condition is that the product being sold must be an agricultural product produced within the Republic of Azerbaijan.
In addition, the Tax Code provides various tax incentives for persons engaged in beekeeping, including incentives related to income (profit) tax, VAT, and certain other taxes.
