Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan initiated the first round of talks for a new income tax agreement on 29 April 2025.
Participants in the meeting included Orkhan Musayev, who leads the Main Department for International Taxation and Tax Monitoring at Azerbaijan’s State Tax Service; Ablaykhan Bagibayov, Deputy Director of the Department of Tax and Customs Legislation within Kazakhstan’s Ministry of Finance; and Kimbat Ibraeva, Deputy Head of the Department for Taxation of Non-Residents at Kazakhstan’s State Revenue Committee.
Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan first entered into a convention aimed at eliminating double taxation and preventing tax evasion in September 1996, with the agreement taking effect on 1 January 1998.
The new treaty will need to be completed, signed, and ratified before it can take effect. Once implemented, it will supersede the 1996 tax agreement between the two nations.
