The team was not - assures Armenia`s SRC and asks to report  unreasonable tax interference in the activities of SMEs

ArmInfo. The Committee of State Revenues (SRC) of Armenia, as far as possible, refrains from implementing control measures or applying other administrative  measures to small and medium-sized businesses. This was reported to  ArmInfo in the press service of the ministry.

According to the information, in order to implement effective and  targeted tax administration, tax inspections are carried out by large  taxpayers who were deemed to be risky by the relevant system.

At the same time, the tax and customs department refrains from  inspecting representatives of SMEs.  Instead, preventive work is  carried out to inform and notify SME entrepreneurs, who mainly deal  with the rules of operation of cash registers (release of goods by  check), registration of employees in law in the established manner  and documenting transactions.

"Nevertheless, if the taxpayers have facts and information indicating  that the actions of the CGD or individual employees of the department  are aimed at unreasonable interference in the activities of SMEs, or  those that have taken place in the past, the tax and customs  department suggests informing about this in the following way:

1) Postal address, Yerevan, st. Komitas 35, 0051 2) The electronic  address is [email protected]

Note that a week earlier, in an interview with reporters, the head of  the SRC, David Ananian, stated that the agency had a clear  instruction not to overload the small and medium business with tax  administration. "If one or another member of the Committee  misunderstands the instruction given to him, we should release this  employee from his post." We also need to clear the field and attract  new employees, "Ananyan said.  Nevertheless, representatives of SMEs  continue to signal an ongoing onslaught of tax authorities.
