An information system for the “Electronic Management of State Duties (e-Duty)” will be created, Azernews reports, citing the proposed amendment to the Law “On State Duties,” which was included in the agenda of the Milli Majlis (Parliament) of Azerbaijan session held on December 29.
According to the draft, the submission of an “e-notification” for the transfer of state duty revenues to the state budget, the receipt of information on the calculated state duty revenues by the relevant body (institution) in real time, the receipt and consideration of information on applications related to overpaid or incorrectly collected state duty, and electronic control and accounting for the transfer of state duty to the state budget will be carried out through the information system of the body (institution) determined by the relevant executive authority.
The “e-notification” is an electronic document drawn up for each service and legal action for which a state duty is charged. It is used for the calculation and transfer of state duty revenues to the state budget by destination and is a document submitted through the information system provided for in this Law.
The rules for the preparation, application, and accounting of the “e-notification,” as well as the form of the receipt for the state fee in connection with the application of the “e-notification,” will be determined by the body (organization) determined by the relevant executive authority.
When paying the envisaged state fees, a service fee of 0.02 manat will be charged for each “e-notification” prepared for each legal act for which a state fee is payable.
This fee will be transferred to the treasury account of the body (organization) determined by the relevant executive authority to strengthen the social protection and improve the material security of the employees of that body (organization).
The procedure for using these funds will be determined by the body (organization) determined by the relevant executive authority.
It was noted that in order to monitor state duty revenues to the State Budget, increase efficiency, effectiveness, and quality of forecasting, and improve control over the transfer of funds calculated to the State Budget under the state duty for their intended purpose, it is proposed to pay state duties based on e-notification and create an information system for the “Electronic Management of State Duties (e-duty)” in this area.—Azer News
