The State Tax Service under the Ministry of Economy together with the company "BEST Solutions" presented the electronic SIM-based (eSIM) new generation enhanced mobile digital "Asan Imza" (e-signature) service. eSIM is an electronic form of "Asan Imza" obtained through a SIM card.
eSIM "Asan Imza" supported by modern smartphones is initially intended for subscribers of one of the mobile operators, and it will be possible at a later stage to use it for subscribers of other mobile operators as well. There are several advantages of the new generation eSIM "Asan Imza" solution. This solution, first of all, provides secure encryption and decryption of electronic documents, security through modern crypto-algorithms. At the same time, the application of a virtual eSIM card eliminates the risk of theft or loss of a physical SIM card.
eSIM, based on new generation technology installed in smartphones, replaces the physical SIM-card. The advantages of the eSIM solution include not only high security, but also environmental efficiency, compatibility with the concept of rejecting plastic cards and improved functionality. The eSIM user has the opportunity to keep several numbers active on his/her phone.
It should be noted that access to the Internet Tax Administration (www.e-taxes.gov.az) will be limited from January 1, 2024, by user code, password and passphrase in order to ensure the safety and protection of taxpayers' data.
"Asan Imza" has the same legal force as hand signature according to the Law "On Electronic Signature and Electronic Document", it is actively used in more than 2000 electronic services in the public and private sector. More than 3 million "Asan Imza" certificates have been issued and more than 300 million transactions have been executed up to day.
The State Tax Service pays special attention to the provision of quality services for taxpayers operating both in the capital and in the regions, ensuring the security of taxpayers' information and observing international standards in this field. The requirement that access to the Internet Tax Administration is possible through "Asan Imza" also serves to keep taxpayers' information safe and compliant with security requirements.
