On March 4, the National Assembly debated in the first reading the draft law on Making Amendments and Addenda to the RA Tax Code. It was presented by the Deputy Chairman of the State Revenue Committee (SRC) Artur Manukyan.
The purpose of the draft law is to clarify and regulate the problems that have arisen during the application of the RA Tax Code, as well as to revise certain provisions of the Code, to make substantive, editorial amendments or addenda to them and to establish new regulations.
It is proposed to recognize a number of provisions invalid and it is planned to clarify that in case of public catering services, the menu provided within the framework of service should be printed on the cash register receipt (the names of dishes, culinary products, pastries and bakery products, other purchased products).
The SRC Deputy Chairman Artur Manukyan noted that it is proposed to raise the minimum thresholds for fines: for the first case – to set 500.000 AMD instead of 200.000 AMD, for the second case – 2mln AMD instead of 500.000AMD, for the third and more cases – 10mln AMD instead of 1mln AMD.
It is offered to set a single amount of fine for non-use of cash registers, regardless of the number of violations committed during the year and the field of activity.
