The Minister of Finance of the Republic of Armenia, Arman Poghosyan, has announced the need to reduce the difference in mandatory tax burden in the country. During a discussion on amendments to the Tax Code and other related laws in the National Assembly, Poghosyan highlighted the importance of reducing the progressive tax rate to prevent evasion of documented expenses. He also emphasized the need for increased document verification in various tax systems and restrictions on certain types of taxable transactions.
