ArmInfo. Inactive real estate in Armenia should be taxed with a progressive tax. The relevant offer was made by the head of the Armenian Government Karen Karapetyan on May 18 at the Government session. At the same time, as he noted, the additional tax burden should not be applicable to running business
According to the Prime Minister, in the whole territory of Armenia there are a lot of real estates, which are inactive, despite the great potential to create an additional price. He asked the acting Minister of Finance Vardan Aramyan, whether the accounting of "non-working" property was carried out. "We talked about this and there is a point in the Government's agenda. We also agreed to pay special attention to Lake Sevan and the center of Yerevan, "Karapetyan recalled.
Vardan Aramyan stated that "homework" has been carried out to create the appropriate tools, in particular through various mechanisms of additional taxation. It is possible that with taxation of property, its location will be taken into account. He promised to submit a detailed report in the near future. Already after the meeting of the Government and active Finance Minister he told the journalists that it is planned to carry out not only the accounting of property, but also its revaluation and bring it in line with market value.
