ArmInfo. Before the second reading, the NA Standing Committee on Economic Affairs discussed amendments to the Tax Code and the related legislative package. The document aims to postpone the entry into force of the laws included therein from January 1, 2026, to July 1, 2026.
Hamlet Sahakyan, Deputy Chairman of the State Revenue Committee of the Republic of Armenia, clarified that the proposed laws regulate the implementation of blocking systems, automatic accounting of state duties, and personalized accounting of stamp duties, ensuring the fulfillment of unpaid tax obligations. According to him, the postponement of these regulations for six months is due to the fact that in some cases tenders were held, but the winner was not determined, and in some cases, the software development work has not been completed. Considering that approximately 15 authorized bodies will join the system, programming it will require significant time, he noted. He pointed out that the system has now been approved by the technical board for its management and handed over to World Bank partners to ensure further progress.
The day before, during the first reading of the initiative in the National Assembly, the deputy head of the State Revenue Committee assured that the delay in the implementation of digital systems will not cause any problems or difficulties for citizens and taxpayers. This relates to the internal digitalization efforts for the registration of the State Revenue Committee's systems.
The legislative package has been approved by the relevant committee.
