ROAD TAX

When foreign drivers of the transport means, enter the territory of the Republic of Azerbaijan, the state withholds the road tax from them; for example: if someone on his personal car comes to you from Russia, he would have to pay tax for using our roads. If the Iranian truck carrying tomatoes transits to Russia via Azerbaijan, the driver of that car also pays the road tax. The state with the help of the collected in that way funds makes new roads, repairs old ones.
The level of road tax on foreign transport means entering the territory of the Republic of Azerbaijan depends on the vehicle type, seating accommodation, load capacity, the total weight of the loaded vehicle, the gravity on the road, the distance passed in Azerbaijan, transportation of dangerous goods. For example: the owner of a car pays the road tax $ 15 per day, the owner of the bus depending on the number of places and time spent in territory of the Republic of Azerbaijan 15-1750 $, and the owner of a cargo vehicle, depending on the number of axles of the vehicle and the time spent in the territory of the Republic of Azerbaijan, 20-2800$. Road tax calculated on cargo vehicles increase with every passed kilometre depending on the total weight of the car and transportation of dangerous goods. Thus, the counted road tax increases by 0.15-0.75$ if the total weight of cargo vehicles is between 37 and 81 tons, by 1.8$ if it is over 81 tons, by 100% for less dangerous goods, by 200% for dangerous goods, by 400% for especially dangerous goods.
However, persons who have in their ownership or use on the territory of the Republic of Azerbaijan cars, buses and other road-transport vehicles pay road tax between 0.01-0.02 manat per m³ of motors of the mentioned vehicles.
