On 30 September 2026, the State Tax Service’s Training Center concluded the “Master Training Program for Professional Trainers,” a five-day intensive course designed to certify 40 senior tax officials as internal trainers on the latest tax legislation, digital administration tools, and OECD BEPS implementation. The program covered the 2026 amendments to the Tax Code (VAT, profit tax, property tax), the new e-invoicing mandate, the Risk-Based Audit Selection methodology, and the Pillar Two GloBE rules. Participants underwent practical simulations, including mock taxpayer interviews, audit planning exercises, and e-learning module development.
Key Takeaways
- Certified Trainer Pool: The 40 certified trainers will deliver cascading training to 1,200 tax officers across all regional departments by March 2027, ensuring uniform application of new rules.
- E-Learning Platform Launch: The Training Center launched a new Learning Management System (LMS) hosting 25 interactive modules, including virtual reality simulations of warehouse inspections and transfer pricing case studies.
- International Partnership: The program was co-developed with the International Bureau of Fiscal Documentation (IBFD) and the OECD’s Centre for Tax Policy and Administration, with financial support from the EU’s “Support to Tax Reform in Azerbaijan” project.
