YEREVAN. - During Thursday's Cabinet session, and while discussing
a matter, Armenia's Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan said: "...when it
was about the excise tax on vodka and tobacco...," Haykakan Zhamanak
daily reports.
"And the matter was about the 'luxury tax.' We should note that the
requirement to levy luxury tax from the oligarchs was formulated and
raised three or four years ago. But Sargsyan's government rejected
it for illogical reasons.
"It is clear that the government is 'vodka-tobacco' pals with the
oligarchs. And this type of tax is hardly to be applied now, too,"
Haykakan Zhamanak writes.
