Tax amendments hastily adopted at the end of the past year have boosted
taxes on SMEs. Dentists, realtors, individual taxi drivers protest.
These amendments seem to mark another process of consolidation of
certain branches of the Armenian economy. This trend is already
awaiting dental services. More exactly, Member of Parliament Samvel
Alexanyan the monopolist is already expressing interest in this sphere.
In fact, taxes boosted by recent tax amendments are a factor that
facilitates consolidation because lowers competitiveness of SMEs.
Consolidation may help Samvel Alexanyan grab the markey of these
services. Then the law will be amended again, and the taxes will
be revoked.
Interestingly, the famous French retailer Carrefour was said to open
in Armenia despite delay due to certain hindrances. Carrefour was said
possible to cut the profits of oligarchs, the richest of them being
Samvel Alexanyan. The retailer will bring competition into currently
monopole imports and retail.
The press service of Carrefour has announced their opening in Armenia
this year. It means the resistance of the oligarchs, namely Samvel
Alexanyan, has been overcome. It is possible that he has yielded one
monopoly in return for another monopoly.
