ArmInfo. The Committee of State Revenues of Armenia (SRC) called on taxpayers to timely fulfill their tax obligations.
"The SRC reminds taxpayers that the Tax Code of the Republic of Armenia defines the procedure and conditions for calculating taxes, the timing of tax payments, and tax benefits.
The Tax Code of the Republic of Armenia establish the following types of tax incentives: deferral of tax exemption, exemption from penalties and fines, reduction of time, delay in payment and other benefits that are provided for in violation of the provisions of the Code. Tax benefits are determined solely by the Code or the laws of the Republic of Armenia.
The SRC of the Republic of Armenia or another government body is not authorized by any other legal act to establish tax benefits for a particular group of taxpayers.
Consequently, the SRC of the Republic of Armenia will continue to exercise the functional powers assigned to it, urging taxpayers to timely and comprehensively fulfill their tax obligations, "the agency said in a statement to ArmInfo.
On the eve of a press conference in Yerevan, the head of the SRC David Ananyan noted that the tax service of Armenia makes sure that all retail trade was conducted on cash receipts. In recent days, the volume of retail trade in grocery stores and pharmacies has increased in the country. Some points (especially in shopping centers) have closed, but even so, retail sales have not yet fallen. As David Ananyan noted, if on March 16, 1.2 million cash vouchers were knocked out in the republic, then on March 17 it was 1.5 million. In pharmacies, there were lines for alcohol gels and masks, and in supermarkets everyone tried to stock up on food for several days so as not to leave the house. Nevertheless, according to the head of the State Revenue Committee, it is obvious that in the coming days trade will decrease: most cafes, restaurants and non-food stores are closed. Under these conditions, the SRC carefully monitors that where trade continues, goods "by the guise" are not sold without cash receipts. Tax discipline should not be weakened so that the state continues to function normally.
Recall that in Armenia from March 16 to April 14 a state of emergency was introduced to combat the spread of coronavirus.
Entry and exit from the country are restricted, public events are prohibited, many restaurants, cafes and shops were closed on their own initiative. Educational and cultural institutions are also closed.
