ArmInfo. The State Revenue Committee of Armenia has received information that a company operating a gas station on the Sevan highway and in Yerevan is purchasing fuel without proper documentation and selling it to customers without providing receipts or reflecting these transactions in tax returns. This was reported by the SRC press service.
As part of its duties, the agency developed, initiated, and implemented comprehensive operational and investigative measures to prevent and detect tax violations. Thus, the company's business addresses, the number of fuel distribution towers, the location of fuel storage facilities, and the addresses of office premises were preliminarily identified, and an external audit was conducted as part of the operational and investigative measures. A comprehensive analysis and review of data obtained during operational and investigative activities revealed that the company purchased and sold various types of liquid fuel worth approximately 1.6 billion drams between 2023 and 2026 without proper documentation. Furthermore, a significant portion of the gas station's actual turnover was not documented. Specifically, the cost of gasoline sold was not entered into cash registers, and receipts were not printed. As a result, false data was entered into the calculations submitted to the tax office. Consequently, the state suffered particularly significant losses of approximately 500 million drams.
A report on this incident has been sent to the Investigative Committee, which has opened a criminal case. "The State Revenue Committee continues to take the necessary measures not only to identify crimes committed but also to prevent them, while simultaneously urging business entities to declare their actual turnover," the agency said in a statement.
