ArmInfo."There is no such thing; you misinterpret the initiative of the government." the Acting RA Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan announced in the Gegharkunik region of Armenia, referring to the sensational interview of the head of the State Revenue Committee David Ananyan that from 2020 transfers will be subject to 23% income taxes.
At the same time, Pashinyan refused to explain the details of the government initiative, saying that he would like to address the issue in more detail during tomorrow's press conference.
Meanwhile, Actting First Deputy Prime Minister Ararat Mirzoyan, was not so categorical in his statements and did not deny the exaggerated information. He merely said that the idea of taxing incoming transfers would not be realized without wide public debate.
However, this morning, the head of the SRC David Ananyan, in an interview with the ''Radiolur'' program, said that the essence of the reforms implemented since 2020 is the obligatory imposition of income tax on all types of citizens' incomes from 18 to 65. According to him, this also applies to transfers type of income. "The transfers to Armenia are only 10 times less than the country's GDP, and it is logical that these revenues should be taxed, which will increase budget transfers by several times," Ananyan concluded.
