ARMENIAN TAXMAN ATTRIBUTES GROWTH TO IMPROVED
ADMINISTRATION

YEREVAN, JANUARY 30, ARMENPRESS; Armenia’s state
taxation services attributed a 27 percent rise in the
volume of collected taxes last year against the
previous 2005 to improved administration. Overall
229.7 billion drams in taxes were collected in 2006.
Robert Kocharian, a deputy head of the state
taxation service, said progress was reported also in
the structure of collected taxes. Particularly, the
share of direct taxes-income and profit taxes, grew.
Robert Kocharian said the state taxation service
has designed a plan of actions to continue the
crackdown on shadow sector. ‘Economic growth and
improved tax administration are the best evidence of
our work,’ he said
