YEREVAN, OCTOBER 23, NOYAN TAPAN. The RA National Assembly on
October 23 passed in first reading the draft law on defence, and
made amendments and additions, in second reading and completely,
to a number of current laws.
In particular, by the addition made to the Law on the Use of Cash
Registers, the use of cash registers is not mandatory in case of
passenger transportation by a taxi if the vehicle has a taximeter. The
RA minister of transport and communication Gurgen Sargsian said that
this is done in order to rule out double investments by economic
entities and allow taxi service providers to choose either a cash
register or taximeter on their own initiative. In case of not
choosing the use of a cash register, no difficulties will arise
from the viewpoint of taxation as a fixed payment is collected for
taxi services.
Along with this addition, amendments were made in the Law on
Licensing and the Law on State Duty, based on which there will be
a differentiated approach to the granting of licences to private
businessmen engaged in passenger transportation by one taxi and the
issue of state duty: they will pay a state duty of 25 thousand drams
annually for organization of passenger transportation. The state
duty of 200 thousand drams will again be collected for organization
of passenger transportation - with respect to private businessmen
using more than one vehicle, and organizations, regardless of the
number of their vehicles.
