Head of the State income committee, Gagik Khachatryan, today had a press conference and talked about the situation of tax-collection.
To the question whether the state budget will be covered? He responded:
“How do you think, can the budget not be covered? Of course it will be covered. The businessmen must pay the taxes and it will be covered. They must be happy that we don’t use any other ways for collecting the money. Hopefully it will be covered since we are doing everything possible” said Khachatryan adding “I should stress that the state budget of Armenia was only 26 billion AMD back in 1996, but now the number has greatly increased and somehow it is still difficult for us. ”
