Today, the packet of tax amendments to the law, which provides for the
presence of a tax official in major enterprises, was continued. All
the parliamentary members, who addressed the sitting, were unanimously
against the law draft. The head of the ARF Dashnaktsutyun faction,
Vahan Hovhannisyan stated that this is a bill with a serious political
context, the author of which must state that the government’s tax
policy failed. According to him, if this law draft is adopted, the
importers will not be harmed, instead the local enterprisers will
be hit. Vahan Hovhanisyan stated that none of the tax officials, who
will be in the enterprises, will be incorrupt angels. And everything
will remain as it is, the only to be harmed will be those who try to
work honestly. He noted that their faction is going to vote against
the packet.
The parliamentary member from the BHK faction, Naira Zohrabyan stated
that it is dangerous to be led by the version that all the enterprisers
are criminals. And she stated that there is no guarantee that those
working in the State Profit Committee are angels.
The independent parliamentary member Victor Dallakyan described this
law as one on "sneaks and betrayers". According to Dallakyan, though
the government’s aim is to struggle against the shadow with this law,
it will have the opposite effect.
