DENTISTS PROTEST AGAINST TAX CHANGES

A group of dentists are holding a protest action outside the
presidential residence in Yerevan against the new tax policy. Before
the New Year’s Eve the State Tax Service warned the dentists that
after the holidays they would have to pay extra taxes in addition to
the obligatory taxes.

Dental clinics equipped with three dental chairs will have to pay
AMD 60 000-100 000 for each chair, depending on the location of the
clinic. Those having four and more chairs will have to pay AMD 48 000.

The dentists say that the changes will inevitably increase the prices
for dental services which, in their turn, will affect the pocket
of clients. Moreover, the new taxes may lead to the closure of many
dental clinics.

A short while ago, several participants of the protest action have
been invited to the presidential residence to present their complaints.
