YEREVAN, MAY 5, ARMENPRESS:
RA President Serzh Sargsyan conducted today a consultation with the
representatives of Armenia's reprocessing companies and the tax sphere
at "Yerevan Beer" company. The gaps, issues in the sphere, the process
of the works directed to the sphere development and the intended
programs were discussed during the consultation.
Gagik Khachatryan, chairman of the RA Government-Affiliated State
Revenue Committee, said at a news conference, held after the
consultation, that the representatives of the reprocessing companies
were presented the intended tax reforms, directed to making the
business sphere healthier and eliminating the existing obstacles. He
says reforms are aimed at eliminating the issues in order the sphere
representatives think of their business projects only and not some
obstacles.
Gagik Khachatryan said one of the issues is the low level of direct
taxes of the reprocessing companies. Another obstacle is the
circulation of documents: "steps should be undertaken for facilitating
it".
According to Sergo Karapetyan, RA agriculture minister, it is
necessary to build legal-agreement relations between producing and
reprocessing companies to make clear the responsibilities and rights
of the both sides. He said the consultation will give positive
results. He added that low-level competitiveness of reprocessed
products is the main obstacle for exportation. He says the capacity
development of the existing companies and the increasing number of new
companies will bring to rise in the level of competitiveness.
According to Ashot Baghdasaryan, general director of "Yerevan Beer"
company, the reforms in the tax sphere inspire hope. He said
Government keeps the rural communities in the limelight. "The steps to
be undertaken are proper, and the results will be evident," Ashot
Baghdasaryan said.
