Last year, the group was ranked eighth. The General Department of Taxation’s annual list of Top 100 tax payers will be renewed and Sod Mongol has a very good chance of climbing higher in the ranks.
Sod Mongol Group, one of the most powerful groups in Mongolia, suppliers 15 percent of the country’s oil products’ market and pays an annual tax of over 10 billion tugriks to the state. Anandbazar founded his company in 1999, with a focus on import and trade of oil products. Today, it has developed into a group company with over 10 subsidiaries and businesses in movie, entertainment, agriculture, construction and tourism. IMAX technology has only recently became mainstream and there are IMAX theaters in only 70 countries.
