On April 19 Karabakh-Open.com published a story on separate points
of which we have observations.

First of all, we would like to note that the quarterly statements are
submitted to three not one officer of the Tax Service, including the
head of the corresponding department.

Each quarter our service receives 1300 statements the deadline of
submission of which is 20 days. Lines occur because the accountants
usually submit the statements in the second half of this term, and
most often on the last days although they can present them earlier,
in a calmer atmosphere.

There would have been no lines at all if the accountants were confident
of their qualification. In that case, they would send the statements by
mail, and they would be accepted in the absence of their authors. It
should be noted that about 500 businesses send statements by mail,
and the other 800 stand in line who submit the documents on the last
days of the 20-day period.

Soon we will use a new service, and the statements will be possible
to email. Those who are fond of standing in line should take into
consideration this way if they do not want to waste time. Only high
qualification will help save time.

It is necessary to use modern methods which require qualification. It
is impossible in an hour, and queues will continue for some
time. However, the conditions for those standing in line are not bad,
our service has moved into a comfortable building with light corridors
and benches for visitors.

The tax service of the city has 25 workers with one head and four
heads of departments. There are no obstacles at the entrance, entrance
is free.

However, there is another service on the second floor, and the entire
building is guarded.

We do everything to reduce bureaucracy, we respect everyone’s opinion
and constructive criticism if it is objective but not rumors and
street talks.
