ArmInfo. Babken Tunyan, a member of the dominant Civil Contract faction of the National Assembly and deputy chairman of the standing parliamentary committee on economic issues, introduced a bill into circulation that envisages postponing the deadline for filing income tax returns for individuals.
In particular, as Tunyan himself noted on social media, the deadline for filing the General Income Tax Return for those who file a return this year (for income for 2024) has been postponed from May to November 1.
Those who must file a return next year (for income for 2025) can do so from March 2 to November 1.
For subsequent years, the deadline for filing the return will be set from March 2 to July 1.
According to Tunyan, the main reason for postponing the deadline is the problem with ID cards. Queues have formed due to the process of obtaining ID cards, and without them it is impossible to fill out an income tax return.

In addition, the first stage included citizens of the RA who were participants (shareholders, co-owners, members) of commercial organizations-residents of the RA as of December 31, 2023, who declared a gross income of 1 billion drams or more based on the results of 2022, as well as those citizens who are considered real beneficiaries according to the concept of the RA Law , as well as those who received a loan of 20 million drams or more in 2023.
Both individuals who submitted a declaration for the previous reporting year (2023) and new groups of citizens of the Republic of Armenia who are residents of the Republic of Armenia were required to submit an annual income tax return for the 2024 reporting year by May 1 of this year. In particular, citizens of the Republic of Armenia who are considered employed during 2024 and who received taxable income under civil contracts during 2024. Starting from 2025, declarations will have to be submitted by all those adult citizens-residents of the country who are not included in the above two groups.
