ArmInfo.Today, on December 13, car importers and cartraders started a protest in front of the government building against the new order of taxation of the field. According to them, the new regulations entered into force on June 1, 2018, but they were not informed as a result they were fined for large sums.
As car dealers explained to journalists, according to the new order, in case of the sale of the 2nd car, concluding a deed of gift, they are taxed 20%.
In turn, the chief tax officer of the country, David Ananyan, wondered: "Do you import and sell a car by issuing a gift deed in order not to pay taxes?''. As the head of the State Revenue Committee noted, the import and sale of cars is a business and, like any type of business, it should be taxed. ''Be honest. We cannot close our eyes to this," David Ananyan said. At the same time, Ananyan called on the participants of the action to submit their own idea of how to solve this issue to the tax authority.
