ArmInfo.The intention of the Armenian authorities to return network supermarkets to the legal field has led to an increase in prices for basic food products. According to the research conducted, from today, prices for meat products, fruits and vegetables in retail chains jumped by an average of 25% -30%. In particular, such a rise in prices was observed in the network of supermarkets "Yerevan City".
As the Chairman of the State Revenue Committee of Armenia David Ananyan stated, colleagues from the National Security Service were informed of the early "latent" agreements of business with the authorities. With regard to agro products, where there are problems with documenting the goods, the arrangement was that sales of agricultural products in supermarkets were carried out by so-called individual individual entrepreneurs. "In fact, 5% turnover tax was paid, instead of the necessary 20% VAT," he explained.
To recall, yesterday according to the information of media sources, cashiers of Yerevan-city supermarkets in turn are summoned for interrogation to the National Security Service. It was reported that supermarkets belonging to the family of the RPA deputy Samvel Alexanyan, work with extraneous cash registers (CACs). That is, the trade is made not only through the CAC of the Alex-holding company, but also individual individual entrepreneurs, so as not to exceed the non-taxable VAT threshold.
