Azerbaijan’s draft 2027 state budget projects road tax revenue collected by the State Tax Service at 307 million manats, down 27.4 million manats, or 8.2%, from the 2026 forecast.
The figure appears in the draft law “On the State Budget of the Republic of Azerbaijan for 2027.” Under the document, the projected 307 million manats in road tax revenue forms part of next year’s overall budget income.
At the same time, the forecast is 218.8 million manats, or 3.5 times, higher than the actual result recorded in 2025. The draft budget states that this sharp year-on-year jump stems from structural changes made to the relevant legislation.
Specifically, the road tax rate has been raised. In addition, the mandatory medical insurance fee that previously applied to oil products made domestically for the local market, as well as to imported oil products, has been scrapped, with the corresponding revenue folded into the road tax instead.
As a result, while a relative decline is forecast between 2026 and 2027, the overall figure still remains considerably higher than the 2025 level.
