A day ago during his meeting with Armenian businessmen in Moscow the prime minister of Armenia Tigran Sargsyan spoke about the tax package presented by the RA government. In this regard he said, “There are 16.000 companies functioning in Armenia but we are interested in the activity of almost 100 of those. In these companies we wish to appoint our representatives. And for this reason the environment has become pert tense in our country. This tax package, which includes the mentioned regulation, is part of the anti-crisis project.” According to Sargsyan the purpose of the government is to bring large businesses and oligarchs into the tax field. By the way, the representative of the government yesterday asked not to discuss the tax package, which will fail this time again.
