ARMENIAN VENDORS CONTINUE PROTEST AT TAX CIRCULATION LAW
12:08 * 02.10.14
A big crowd of fair vendors gathered Thursday morning outside the
Government for a fresh protest action against the tax circulation law.
While the executive is conducting its weekly regular meeting,
they crowd voices urgent calls for revising the recently adopted
controversial amendments, otherwise threatening to use force.
The protesters are waiting for Prime Minister Hovik Abrahamyan or some
representative of the ruling Republican Party to meet them outside
for giving an explanation.
"Yes, we will struggle as long as the problem remains unresolved. This
is a matter of survival for our children. We'll go on a strike and
not work," a vendor from a Yerevan trade fair told reporters at the
protest site.
The controversial law had earlier attracted a big crowd in front
of the National Assembly. Last Thursday, several vendors protested
outside the government again.
The proposed amendments, which are entering into effect on October
1, require that the small and medium enterprises (SMEs) submit
corresponding documents on separate products. In case of a failure
to do so, a company will be given a warning. A repeated failure will
entail a fine of 20,000 Armenian Drams (approx $50). If the company
violates the legal requirement for a third time, it will be fined in
the amount of 5% of the circulation tax.
