YEREVAN, October 19. / ARKA /. From now on property and land taxes in
Yerevan can be paid electronically, Ara Yaghjian, head of the "Center
for Technology Management of the City Hall', told journalists today.
In the period of 2001-2009 property and land taxes in Yerevan were
calculated by condominiums and later by district administrations that
caused difficulties for property or real estate owners, registered
in various administrative districts of the city. At the same time,
property owners in Yerevan, living abroad, were not able to pay taxes
and were penalized.
"We are launching an additional opportunity for paying these taxes
by using the official website of the municipality," said Yaghjian.
He said the bulk of the capital's budget is generated by property tax,
which prompted the creation of a unified single electronic system that
would allow payment of the bills by plastic cards and terminals, or
payment-settlement systems. According to him, the new system enables
payment of taxes even from a mobile phone or any other electronic
device connected to Internet.
The trilingual electronic tax payment system was developed in
conjunction with I-Dram payment system and provides for the payment
of taxes by all kinds of plastic cards, money transfer systems,
terminals, as well as banks and payment and settlement organizations.
A special single interface was designed for banks and payment and
settlement systems to allow their customers to receive and pay bills
directly from their bank.
To be able to use the electronic payment system, Yerevan residents
must first register on the website of the City Hall, get a special
access code, undergo identification, then the system will automatically
show on the screen all their movable and immovable property, subject
to taxation, a list of their debts, if any, the amount of current
tax payable, and general amount to be paid. The introduction of the
online payment system of taxes on property and land is part of the
program called Electronic City.
