Yerevan, July 17 /Mediamax/. Armenian Prime Minister Serzh Sarkisian
presented today the new Head of the State Tax Service Vahram
Barseghian.
As Mediamax was told in the press service of the government today,
speaking for the staff of the Service, Serzh Sarkisian thanked the
Ex-Head Feliks Tsolakian for the work done, noting that in the period
of his leadership the Tax Service managed to increase the volume
of tax collection for 2.5 times, making it reach from 120bln up to
280bln drams.
Armenian Prime Minister expressed confidence that, continuing the
good traditions, Vahram Barseghian will make a "step forward", will
implement new mechanisms and approaches in the work of the Service.
According to Serzh Sarkisian, without the use of new approaches,
it is impossible to completely solve the tasks set for the Service
and increase the level of the taxes collected.
"We have to do that, we have no another way to improve the life of
our people. We will manage to extirpate the shadow economy only by
means of increasing the level of the collected taxes. It is obvious
that any shadow sum works against the state, and we are to take up
serious measures", Serzh Sarkisian stated.
Vahram Barseghian assured the Head of the government that new
approaches and methods will be laid in foundation, which will allow
increasing the efficiency of the work of the Service in a short period
of time.
