Armenian alcohol manufacturers are concerned about excises in the
Eurasian Economic Union. Some unnamed Armenian businessmen say that
Russia may take advantage of excises: an excise for ordinary beer is
only 18 rubles (150 drams) in Russia and slightly over 105 drams in
Armenia, which means that Russian beer manufacturers will pay less
in tax in Armenia than in Russia, Epress.am reports, thus gaining a
competitive advantage over their Armenian counterparts. The government
has not yet commented on the situation.
