    ARMENIA'S PARLIAMENT TO EXEMPT COMPANIES IN BORDER REGIONS FROM SEVERAL TAXES

    YEREVAN, October 21, / ARKA /. Armenia's National Assembly began on
    Tuesday debating a government-drafted package of changes to the tax
    laws, which call for exempting companies in the country's border
    settlements from several taxes.

    "The purpose of these changes is to help increase economic activity
    in the border regions, improve the business environment and investment
    attractiveness," said deputy finance minister Vakhtang Mirumyan.

    According to him, the changes propose to exempt businesses in the
    border regions from VAT, income and profit taxes. He said as a result
    the entrepreneurs will be assisted in the amount of 2 billion drams.

    The deputy minister stressed also that the adoption of these
    legislative changes will help reduce unemployment in the border
    regions.

    The proposed changes include also mandatory introduction of electronic
    tax reporting, mitigation of penalties and the possibility of reducing
    mortgage rates at the expense of income tax.

    The proposed changes are declared urgent. After first reading they must
    be voted in the second reading within 24 hours. If adopted the changes
    will come into force on January 1, 2015. ($1 -409.69 drams) -0--
