Private taxi drivers to be released from any kinds of taxes 

ArmInfo.The Armenian government intends to release the drivers of private taxis from any kinds of taxes. Prime Minister of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan stated this  on September 18 during a live broadcast on his Facebook page.

According to the Prime Minister, at present the issue is being  discussed within the framework of reforms of the country's Tax Code.  "This is a very important decision and has a social importance, and  according to our observations, many people who have work, including  in government institutions and private organizations, solve social  problems of their families by offering private taxi service," the  head of government said. This, according to the head of the Armenian  government, will become a kind of assistance to these people.

At the same time, Pashinyan stressed the importance of safe  transportation. The government will try to solve the problem by  improving the quality of car maintenance. "At this stage, as we know,  car maintenance is not carried out at a proper level and is rather  fictitious, and we will do everything possible to ensure that this  process was aimed at improving the safety of transportation," he  said.  At the same time, the prime minister hopes that, after being  freed from taxes, private taxi drivers will be able to reduce  tariffs. The solution will also solve many of the problems associated  with the congestion of urban transport.
