YEREVAN, JUNE 17, NOYAN TAPAN. The State Tax Service has developed
and introduced a pilot computer program that selects risk factors,
based on which the tax bodies conduct checks. The deputy head of the
State Tax Service Robert Kocharian said at the June 17 meeting with
reporters that henceforth each visit to the economic entity selected
by the computer must be a target one, that is, based on a risk factor.

According to him, the parameters determining the risk factors are
entered into the computer only on the basis of actual data presented
by the tax payer. The program functions with the use of this data
and selects the targets considered as risky based on the parameters
in the computer.

R. Kocharian said that in case of proper functioning of the indicated
program, the human factor will be ruled out in the choice of economic
entities subject to checking.

It was announced that 1,293 checks were conducted in the period of
December 1, 2007 to April 30, 2008.
