Expert: Armenian Government behaves unreasonably when imposing license
payments on dentists and estate agents
The Armenian Government behaves unreasonably when imposing license
payments on dentists and estate agents, Gagik Makaryan, Chairman of
the Armenian Republican Union of Employers, told journalists on
Friday.
"By my estimations, the Government will be able to collect maximum 100
mln USD taxes from micro business and small business. The Government
should temporarily suspend collecting the 100 mln USD and allow the
micro business to develop into small business", said Makaryan.
As regards the dentists, the matter concerns collection of 5-6 mln USD
taxes. "One should not offend 2-3 thsd dentists for the sake of this
amount. One should allow them to develop and become richer", he said.
As for the property market, Makaryan thinks it is wrong to impose
taxes on the real estate agencies depending on the number of
employees. "It is strange, because it is the broker that earns money
and it is necessary to impose taxes on the agencies with due regard
for the number of brokers, not the total number of employees", he
said.
To note, the governmental amendments to the Law "On License Payments"
came into force on 1 Jan 2013. In line with these amendments, the real
estate agencies are to pay 60 thsd AMD per employee monthly, and the
dentists are to pay 100 thsd AMD per dental seat.
