December 19, Fineko/abc.az. According to the amendments to the Tax Code, tourists using medical services in Azerbaijan will be able to receive VAT they have paid in full.

ABC.AZ informs that Milli Majlis MP, economist Vugar Bayramov wrote about this on his Facebook account.

He noted that foreigners and stateless persons are provided with a refund of the entire amount of VAT in the tax-free mode, paid by wire transfer for medical services rendered to them.

"The main purpose of the changes is to provide tax benefits for medical tourism. This means that if a tourist staying in Azerbaijan uses medical services, he will be able to refund the VAT paid when leaving the country. At that, this change may increase income of medical institutions. After all, it is possible that after it, the demand of tourists for medical services will increase. And that means more revenue for the health sector. It can also create an incentive to further improve quality in the health sector. It is expected that the change will come into force next month," Bayramov stressed.
