Milli Majlis adopted the Law on Licenses and Permissions (the Law on Licenses ) on 15 March 2016, which was published on the official website of the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan on 20 April The Law on Licenses envisages inter alia criteria for determining the activities as licensable, general principles of state control over licensing, procedures on issuance and revocation of licenses, as well as suspension/restoration of licensable activities, obligations and liability of responsible state authorities. Moreover, the draft law stipulates one-stop shop principle with respect to license issuance. It should also be noted the Law on Licenses qualifies licenses as general (enabling licensees to engage in all sub-activities under licensable activity without obtaining specific licenses for each type) and special licenses (enabling its licensees to engage in only one or several sub-activities of certain licensable activity). The law will enter into force on 1 June Introduction of investment incentives Decree of the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan dated 18 January 2016 #745 on additional measures on investment incentive (the Decree ) envisages the new investment incentives package. According to the Decree a new type of document entitiling its holders to tax and customs privileges is introduced, i.e. Investment Incentive Document (the Certificate ). The Certificate is granted by the Ministry of Economy of Azerbaijan to entrepreneurs who presented their investment projects that are in conformity with criteria confirmed by the Cabinet of Ministers (the Criteria for Issuance of the Certificate ), which are as follows:
2 - Fields of economic activities where investments will be made ( Fields of economic activities ) - Minimum amount related to the scale of an investment project ( Minimum Investment Amount ) - Administrative-territorial units where investment projects will be performed ( Administrative-territorial units ) Respective amendments were made to the Tax Code and the Law on Customs Tariffs outlining exemptions for entrepreneurs.

Criteria for Issuance of the Certificate determined We would like to deliver that finally the Criteria for Issuance of the Certificate were finally approved by Decree of the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan dated 20 April 2016 (the Decree ). Fields of economic activities To summarize, it shoud be noted that 30 types of economic activities are included therein as the fields where investments will be made. The said economic activities include but are not limited to the following: - Particular areas of agricultural activities; - Food and beverage production; - Chemicals and pharmaceutics production; - Production of IT and other electronic devices; - Production of construction materials and furniture; - Tobacco production; - Paper and carton production; - Rubber and plastic production; - Machinery and equipment production; - Metal production; - Production of clothing, leather products, shoes; - Production of cars and other means of transport; - Production of alternative energy sources. Administrative-territorial units Meanwhile, the Republic of Azerbaijan is divided into 5 Regions:
4 Region 1 includes Baku (except for Baku suburban settlements); Region 2 includes Baku suburban settlements and Absheron district; Region 3 includes Sumgayit and Gandja cities; Region 4 includes cities and districts not included into other classifications; Region 5 includes Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic, Fuzuly, Khodjavend, Aghdam, Tartar, Agjabady, Naftalan, Goranboy, Goygol, Gadabay, Dashkasan, Qazakh, Tovuz, Aghstafa, Lerik, Yardimly, Balakan, Gusar districts. Minimum Investment Amount Minimum Investment Amounts range from AZN 200,000 to AZN 10,000,000. Meanwhile, there is a correlation between the Administrative-Territorial Units and corresponding Minimum Investment Amounts. Based on the general review, Minimum Investment Amounts decrease from Region 1 to Region 5 accordingly. It worth to note that the highest amount of AZN 10, is determined for pharmaceutics production. Issuance procedure of confirming document for import of machinery, technological equipment and devices to legal entities and individual entrepreneurs who obtained the Certificate According to the Decree of the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan dated 20 April 2016, the confirming document (the Confirming Document ) is granted by the Ministry of Economy to legal entities and individual entrepreneurs who have duly obtained the Certificate and presented the following: 1) The list of machinery, technological equipment and devices to be imported; 2) The copy of the agreement of purchase of the said devices; 3) The copy of the Certificate. Administrative procedure for the issuance of the Confirming Document is conducted in accordance with one-stop shop principle envisaged in the Law on Licenses.
5 The Ministry of Economy informs the Ministry of Taxes and the State Committee of Customs on the issuance of the Confirming Document within 3 working days. The above-mentioned Decree also provides rules for liquidation of the Confirming Document. The Law on implementation of investment projects related to construction and infrastructure facilities based on special financing The Law on implementation of investment projects related to construction and infrastructure facilities based on special financing came into force on 22 April 2016 (the Law ). The purpose of the Law is to encourage implementation of construction projects according to the Build-Operate- Transfer model ( BOT ). BOT is one of the project financing forms, whereby investor covers its investment expenses and gain profits by getting payments for procuring goods and rendering services to the competent authority (i.e. Ministry of Economy) or consumers. BOT is applicable to construction, current and capital repair, reconstruction and restoration, operation and transfer of specific construction and infrastructure facilities. The Law provides for the non-exhaustive list of construction and infrastructure facilities falling under BOT (e.g. bridges, tunnels, conference centers, education, health, cultural and tourism objects, industrial parks, highways, underground stations and etc.). The Law envisages conclusion of the BOT agreement between investors and the Ministry of Economy. The duration of such agreement can be up to 49 years. After expiration of the BOT agreement the facilities are handed over to the Ministry of Economy free of charge. Meanwhile, the investors who implement investment projects based on BOT in accordance with the Law get exemptions from state duties and levies. However, specific terms for execution of BOT, requirements for investors, features, terms and conditions of BOT agreements, pricing of the goods produced and services rendered as a result of investments are yet to be determined in particular by the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan.
6 Meanwhile, the Law is not applicable to investment projects based on BOT agreements signed before the Law came into force.
