David Ananyan urged cultural workers and show business  representatives to declare their income by mid- March.

ArmInfo. Chairman of the State Revenue Committee (CGD) David Ananyan called on cultural workers and representatives of show business to submit an annual income tax  return by mid-March. He stated this on January 24 after a government  meeting in an interview with journalists.According to Ananyan, there  are no privileged tax issues.

The head of the ministry denied that  the Armenian singer Tata in the CGD was allowed not to pay taxes on  income.  "The singer Tata is a national favorite, but he also has no  prerogatives not to pay taxes," he said.To date, none of the  representatives of show business has not responded to the September  call of the KGD to faithfully fulfill their tax obligations. In this  regard, according to Anayan, at present, tax inspectors are  conducting ongoing inspections, including visiting restaurants and  leisure facilities, and calling for recording performances by  representatives of show business in the prescribed manner. David  Ananyan expressed the hope that by the deadline - mid-March of this  year. taxpayers in the face of representatives of show business still  have time to declare their income.As early as September 10, 2018, at  the meeting with journalists, the head of the CGD David Ananyan said  that in the sphere of culture, a culture of tax evasion was formed  "perfectly." 

"For example, we have our favorite singers and singers, they write  and perform patriotic songs, but so far none of them have submitted  an annual income statement," said the chairman of the CGD, stressing  that this imperative is already in effect about 25 years old.Already  in December last year, the CGD made a statement in which it called on  representatives of show business engaged in entrepreneurial activity  to declare their income. Otherwise, the tax authority reminded that  illegal business activities could lead to criminal liability.
