Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan instructed the ministers to be
responsible for the fulfillment of tax obligations by companies
operating in their spheres. The premier said that the tax collection
is not a task of exceptionally the State Revenue Committee, but the
ministers should also be accountable.
The government of Armenia launched demonstrative policy. I mean
everything is done to leave the impression on the audience that the
government has a completely different work style. But the policymakers
don't see that they break the presumption of rationality of the
spectators.
Otherwise, it would have never been stated publicly that the
ministers should be responsible for the tax obligations of the
companies operating in their spheres and should know whether or not
the companies fulfill their duties. "Everyone should understand that
the tax collection is a responsible function and it is not only up
to the SRC, all the ministers are responsible", said Tigran Sargsyan.
Interesting, is the State Revenue Committee responsible for the
activities of the ministers? For the reforms in the healthcare or
education spheres? Since the ministers share the SRC tasks, the latter
is assumed to share the burden of the ministries too.
It is absurd. The state management system is divided into structures
for each one to carry out its own functions. Tax issues are up to
the tax structures, while the ministries are in charge of the rules
of the game, favorable conditions for activities and effectiveness
of state management in those spheres.
When the responsibility of a sphere is put on others within the
demonstrative policy, in the result we have only smashed responsibility
but nothing else. This just proves that the state management system,
in this case the SRC, fails.
On the other hand, the instruction of the prime minister may be an
acknowledgment of the idleness of the SRC and the fact that the prime
minister does not trust the SRC work.
The Armenian press has been reporting issues between the prime minister
and the SRC chairman for long. Apparently, having no trust toward
the SRC chairman Gagik Khachatryan, Tigran Sargsyan is trying to
ensure supervision on the tax field through the ministries. So the
ministers will own the whole information and the SRC head will be
unable to deceive the premier or manipulate in the permanent process
of clarification of internal governmental relations.
But here the question occurs whether the ministers are trustworthy
or which of them is and which one may advocate for Gagik Khachatryan.
By and large, the issue has no solution because all the possible
solutions deepen the intrigue atmosphere muddying the water. The state
interest requires clean water; consequently the issues in this field
are solved by cleaning the state system off intrigues. In other words,
dismiss the SRC chairman, if you can, and carry out a staff revolution
to totally change the situation. Moreover, the staff revolution is
urgent not only in the SRC but in the ministries too.
Otherwise, everyone is sick of the show window of the state. No matter
how full it will be, the society is sure, it is all butaforie as long
as revolutionary solutions lack.
