The State Tax Service (STS) and the United States Agency
for International Development (USAID) Armenia Mission held an
"Office Opening and Heating System Presentation Ceremony" at the STS
Headquarters. The event celebrated the co-location of the USAID/Armenia
Tax Improvement Project (ATIP) within the offices of STS. The Opening
Ceremony also marked the completion of the USAID-funded renovation
and equipping of the STS headquarters’ main conference/training hall,
adjacent offices and facilities, and installation of a new heating
system.

The event also marked the completion of significant upgrades to the STS
headquarters. The remodeling of the office space and conference hall
cost $58,267. In addition, a new heating system will benefit all the
STS employees in the building, and represents a major improvement in
working conditions for STS employees. Of the new heating system’s total
cost of $84,736, USAID funded 79 percent and the STS funded 21 percent.

The Ceremony was attended by STS and USAID officials, including
Mr. Felix Tsolakyan, Head of STS, Mr. Armen Alaverdyan and Mr. Rubik
Kocharyan, STS Deputy Heads, as well as Mr. Robin Phillips, Acting
