ArmInfo. The State Revenue Committee (SRC) of Armenia is engaged in terror against Armenian business. This assessment was made by the Chairman of the Union of Entrepreneurs Vahram Mirakyan.
According to Mirakyan, recently the country's Tax and Customs Committee has been actively arresting businessmen, transferring fraud cases to the Investigative Committee, not returning VAT debit balances to businesses, etc.
At one time, when laws were written only for people to violate them, and officials profited from this violation, the SRC developed a law according to which, if a business violates the law by more than 4 million drams, the SRC can initiate a criminal case and arrest the businessman: Imagine the absurdity of the situation - for a business with a turnover of 10 billion drams, a violation of 4 million can be caused by an accountant's sneeze, but as a result, the director is arrested. Now the second most interesting thing: this violation can only be recorded on the basis of a tax inspector's conclusion, and then cancelled, but the arrest has already been imposed," Mirakyan wrote on his Facebook page.
The expert notes that this year the budget revenues were collected less than planned, since the economy is also developing more weakly than planned, as a result the State Revenue Committee is attacking business (According to the Ministry of Finance, the tax shortfall for the first half of the year was approximately 120 billion drams - ed.). And to imitate work, numerous arrests are needed - businessmen have begun to be arrested left and right.
Budget revenues have decreased, this is very bad, especially since our country has big problems, but think about it, is it really worth replenishing the budget with terrorism?>, - asks the expert. According to him, this policy leads to an outflow of capital from the country. , - writes the chairman of the Union of Entrepreneurs Vahram Mirakyan.
