ArmInfo. The tax debt of Spayka LLC today exceeds the previously announced figure of 7 billion drams. According to its chairman, the State Revenue Committee (SRC) of Armenia clarifies the calculation on a daily basis and on the basis of obtained new data. "It is no longer 7, and not 8 billion drams," David Ananyan, head of the Committee, said on July 25, refusing to specify a specific figure.
Thus, according to Ananyan, the investigation into the case of tax evasion, duties or other obligatory payments continues. The SRC continues to receive information on LLC Spayka from both partner countries and its structures. Simply, as the head of the department pointed out, at this stage, taking into account the interests of the agricultural season, the tax authorities decided to give a separate criminal law assessment of the current activities of the company and the actions carried out by Spayka earlier. "But checks continue, as we continue to periodically receive new data that are being processed and on the basis of them we make new calculations," Ananyan said.
At the same time, according to the chief tax officer, there will not be any concessions regarding Spayka. "Otherwise it will mean that we are going against the law, which we are not ready for," he explained. On April 4 of this year the State Revenue Committee of Armenia accused David Ghazaryan, Director of Spayka Company, of evading taxes and customs duties on a particularly large scale - at 7,036,666,312 drams (more than $ 14.4 million). As on April 11, David Ananyan explained, the sum of 7 billion claimed for the "Spayka" payment concerns the calculations for 2015.
"At present, the SRC is working on obtaining documents for the remaining 2.5 years, after which an updated calculation will be provided." In other words, today our calculation concerns a 30% period of time to be studied, "the head of the SRC explained. Ghazaryan transferred an amount of 1 billion drams (over $ 2 million) to a single account and was released from custody
