Proposal to reduce turnover tax to be discussed with SMEs
At the session today, the government examined NA deputy Mikael Melkumian’s proposal on an amendment to the Law on Turnover Tax. The deputy proposes reducing the turnover tax by one percentage point.
The proposal was presented by Armenian Finance Minister David Sargsyan who said the proposal was also discussed with representatives of small and medium enterprises. ‘There are some arguments against it,” David Sargsyan noted.
He considered it necessary to work jointly with SMEs and include a number of other provisions acceptable to both the government and SMEs.
