TAX BURDEN TO FALL ON ARMENIA'S SMBS - MP
Tert.am
28.10.11
It is obvious that the 2012 budget is to be a budget of elections
and legalization of election bribes, Styepa Safaryan, Chairman of
the Heritage parliamentary group told journalists Oct. 28, as he
responded to a question concerning the plans to increase budget
revenues by AMD 101bn due to taxes.
The plans to resolving different problems by "laughing and clinking
glasses" is evidence that the government I well aware it cannot
deceive the people in the pre-election year and had to make certain
steps. "May be, their aim was to address a message to potential
opponents or disobeying businessmen. The concern, however, is that
it is small and medium businesses that will suffer. They are not
only unprotected amid crises, but are also pressured. Even little
children understand that this tax burden will fall on small and medium
businesses," Safaryan said. The Establishment is now exerting efforts
to "retain power and reproduce," he said.
As to whether by "disobeying businessmen" he means Chairman of the
Prosperous Armenia Party (PAP) Gagik Tsarukyan, Safaryan said that
this phrase may apply to him as well - but not only to him. "I do not
see any addressees now. Gargik Tsarukyan is not the main target now,
but the ones not beside the authorities," the MP said.
As regards Armenian Premier Tigran Sargsyan's statement that the forces
cooperating with the authorities will benefit, but the ones refusing to
will be left with nothing, Safaryan said that "he may have meant that
the ones that are not beside them are not beside the 'feeding-trough'."
