/PanARMENIAN.Net/ In the first reading the Armenian parliament debated
amendments and changes to several laws: On Taxes, On Budget System
and On Local Self-Government.
Presenting the bill, RA Deputy Minister of Territorial Administration
Vache Terteryan reported that sales tax, hotel tax, unfinished
construction tax, tax on unprocessed agricultural land, value tax on
parking of vehicles and other taxes are classified as local taxes.
These taxes, except taxes on property and land, will be applied by
communities at their discretion.
As a PanARMENIAN.Net correspondent reported from the National Assembly
of Armenia, the revision of the list of local taxes caused a heated
debate among MPs. In particular, representatives of Prosperous Armenia
offered to organize additional hearings, involving all interested
stakeholders to finalize this package of legislative initiatives.
Given the prevailing disagreement on this bill, the chairman of the
National Assembly Hovik Abrahamyan suggested to postpone the vote
for 15 days, during which changes in the above mentioned laws will be
discussed and supplemented in the relevant committees of the National
Assembly of Armenia.
