State duty to be levied on production of disinfectants in Armenia

State duty to be levied on production of disinfectants in Armenia

ArmInfo. In Armenia, a state duty will be charged for organizing the production of  disinfectants. The Commission on Economic Affairs of the RA National  Assembly issued a positive opinion on the amendments to the law "On  State Duty" submitted by the government of the country.

According to the RA Deputy Minister of Health Anahid Avanesyan, the  Ministry of Health is currently registering the start of a number of  organizations. We are talking, in particular, about a new type of  activity - disinfectants, for the production of which it will be  necessary to pay a state fee. This measure, as noted by the Deputy  Minister, is based on Armenia's obligations to the Eurasian Economic  Union.  It should be noted that according to the current legislation,  the state duty is charged for the initial state registration of  enterprises and products in the 12-fold amount of the basic state  duty (1 thousand drams).

Recall that earlier the State Revenue Committee of Armenia issued a  message, according to which, within the framework of measures to  prevent the spread of a new type of coronavirus, the import of  certain types of products into the EAEU territory is exempt from  customs duties. In particular, certain types of medical products are  exempted from customs duty if, by September 30, 2020 inclusive, the  goods declaration is registered according to the customs procedure  "Leave for domestic consumption" and a permit for the import of goods  issued by the authorized executive body is presented. The list  includes goods for the production of medicines, masks and gloves,  disinfectants, vaccines, as well as medical refrigerators, syringes,  catheters, stretchers, etc. The department noted that the exemption  came into force on March 16, 2020.
