  1. 🇦🇿 🇮🇱 Azerbaijan Offers Israeli IT Companies Tax Exemptions for Relocation

    Azerbaijan is offering Israeli IT companies relocation with extensive tax incentives. Several companies are already considering relocation under this initiative.

    **The proposed benefits include a full exemption from income tax, property tax, land tax, and dividend tax for up to ten years.** In addition, company employees will be able to take advantage of a zero rate of personal income tax on monthly salaries of up to $4,700. To receive these privileges, a company must meet one of the following criteria: have an operating history of more than a year, employ at least 10 employees, or have an annual turnover of at least 200,000 manat (about $117,000). The program also includes support in migration matters, including exemption from work visas and assistance in obtaining a residence permit.

    The development of the tech sector in Azerbaijan is aimed at strengthening trade ties with Israel, which is an important supplier of weapons to Azerbaijan. Israel supplies Rafael’s Spike anti-tank missiles, Elbit’s Hermes drones, and Israel Aerospace Industries’ Harop loitering munitions. Last year, an agreement was signed to purchase two OptSat500 satellites from Israel Aerospace Industries.

    This is difficult to accomplish, moving to a corrupt bureaucratic country? Is there any CEO of an Israeli military-industrial complex who would dare to make such a decision?

  3. You’d have to be completely stupid to move your business to Azerbaijan. They will take that shit eventually and you will have no recourse.

  4. Don’t have the brains to create your own tech companies? Import them in a 2 in one package together with weapons from Israel

    Smart move by Azeris. We should’ve done this like 10 years ago as the “silicon valley of Caucasus”
