Increase in excise tax on gas may affect transportation tariff

At the RA NA Standing Committees, Deputy of the “Tsarukyan” bloc Mikayel Melkumyan, asked Deputy Finance Minister Atom Janjughazyan about the draft law “On State Budget.” He noted that according to the law, the tax collection will amount to 10 billion drams. “I think that more than 10 billion dram should be collected and the index that you noted is considerably less, as it is assumed by your presented budget that our life is going to improve next year, and we will live in better conditions.”

Atom Janjughazyan said that they consider the tax collection of 10 billion drams credible, based on the new Tax Code.

Mikayel Melkumyan asked to be more concrete while speaking. “For example, the excise tax on compressed gas will rise, how will it affect the transportation tariff?”

Atom Janjughazyan said that he would not react to the aforementioned statement about compressed gas.
