The session will be based on the findings of PwC’s two recently-released reports – Enabling a Just Transition - why taxation has a vital role to play and Delivering a Just Transition, providing practical insights on tax policies that will encourage companies to fully engage in a just energy transition, as well as how revenue recycling mechanisms incorporated into tax policies are crucial for achieving a just transition.
We believe that this session will help to explore how tax policies can be effectively leveraged to facilitate a just transition, particularly in the context of Azerbaijan, focusing on the unique challenges and opportunities faced by business overall and SMEs. The panel provides an opportunity to gain insights of a top level panel including Gunel Sadiyeva - Head of Tax, Legal and People Practice of PwC Azerbaijan, Farid Isayev, Advisor to the Head of the State Tax Service of the Republic of Azerbaijan, Samir Mammadov – General Director of UN Global Compact and Emin Ilyas – the Founder and Director of Bioropean LLC.
