YEREVAN, JUNE 30, ARMENPRESS: Some 724 taxi companies were operating
across Armenia in the first five months of the year transporting
passengers by 4,182 cars. Deputy chief of taxation service, Robert
Kocharian, said today 291 companies with 2,476 cars worked in
Yerevan. Overall they paid 91 million drams in five months as fixed
taxes. Last year there were 607 companies with 3,520 cars which paid
137 million in aggregate taxes.
Robert Kocharian said this was a rapidly developing business,
predicting emergence of new companies soon, not ruling out that
part of the business avoids taxes. “We have not registered serious
violations here,” he said. The amount of monthly tax from each car
in Yerevan is 6,800 (around $15), in Gyumri and Vanadzor it is 6,200
drams and 5,600 drams in other regions.
