YEREVAN, MAY 29, ARMENPRESS. The top 1000 taxpayers in Armenia paid 113,4% more taxes in January-March of 2023 compared to the same period of 2018, Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan told lawmakers at a joint committee session for preliminary debates of the 2022 government budget report.
“The policy towards major taxpayers has changed significantly. 113,4% more taxes were collected from top 1000 taxpayers in January-March 2023 compared to the same period of 2018. The major taxpayers paid more than twice in taxes compared to the first three months of 2018. This is important for us to see that we are bringing not only the small businesses to the taxation framework but also the major ones,” the PM said.
Furthermore, the total amount of the taxes collected from the 100 top taxpayers equals to 55,7% of the entire amount of taxes paid by the top 1000 taxpayers.
