    ARFD OBJECTS TO NEW TAX BILL

    Armenia

    The bill introducing new local taxes the RA Government submitted
    to Parliament gave rise to considerable debate by not only the
    Opposition, but also some coalition forces, namely, the Prosperous
    Armenia Party (PAP) and Country of Law Party factions, Artsvik
    Minasyan of the Armenian Revolutionary Federation (Dashnaktsutyun)
    (ARFD) told reporters.

    He presented a number of reasons for the ARFD's objections to the
    bill introducing ten new local taxes. "We object to the principles of
    setting the taxes. Is this proposal in harmony with the Government's
    policy of equal regional development, and whether there is no political
    implication," Minasyan said. He stressed that the four basic reasons
    for the ARFD's disagreement are: economic basis, social reasons,
    prospects of equal regional development and political implications.

    Minasyan expressed the confidence that the Government has once more
    proved that "it is submitting a poorly drafted bill to Parliament."

    "Although at Parliament Speaker Hovik Abrahamyan's request the
    Government postponed the discussion of the bill, but this period is
    not sufficient, and this package needs rearranging," Minasyan said. He
    added that a number of taxes provided for by the bill are currently
    in effect in Azerbaijan.

    At its last four-day session, the Armenian Parliament discussed a
    new tax package submitted by the Government.
