ArmInfo. The use of computer integrated cash registers for SMEs has been postponed from 15 May 2016 till 1 Jan 2017, Armenian Minister of Finance Gagik Khachatryan said in Parliament on March 16.
He explained the postponement with insufficient financial means. The new systems that cost approximately 760 USD are needed for automation of small and medium-sized enterprises. At the moment, the Armenian Government is negotiating with importers on possible reduction of the price, which would make the transition period less painful, especially as the software for the new systems has been developed by Armenian specialists.
