YEREVAN, MAY 29, ARMENPRESS. The top 1000 taxpayers in Armenia paid 113,4% more taxes in January-March of 2023 compared to the same period of 2018, Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan told lawmakers at a joint committee session for preliminary debates of the 2022 government budget report.

“The policy towards major taxpayers has changed significantly. 113,4% more taxes were collected from top 1000 taxpayers in January-March 2023 compared to the same period of 2018. The major taxpayers paid more than twice in taxes compared to the first three months of 2018. This is important for us to see that we are bringing not only the small businesses to the taxation framework but also the major ones,” the PM said.

Furthermore, the total amount of the taxes collected from the 100 top taxpayers equals to 55,7% of the entire amount of taxes paid by the top 1000 taxpayers.

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
