Structural changes in RA State Revenue Committee

Structural changes are currently intended in the RA State Revenue Committee which are aimed at tax administration accomplishment, more efficient use of the committee system, reduction of corruption risks, more complete and targeted implementation of the committee functions.

In particular, it is intended to dissolve tax (regional) inspectorates by creating 3 departments instead of them and involve them in the structural subdivisions of the committee staff as subdivisions of the upper tax body. As a result of structural changes, it is also intended to reduce the number of customs houses as well and involve them in the staff structure of the committee as departments of the upper customs body.

Almost 483 positions are intended to be reduced as a result of the aforementioned procedure in the manner stipulated by the RA Legislation. The Government has also established the lists of taxpayers subject to Liquidation (withdrawal from State Registration) as well as the procedure of submitting the reference on the lack of obligations controlled by the tax authority to State Register Agency of Legal Entities of the RA Ministry of Justice.

The aim of the decision is to meet the requirements set by the law “On Dissolving the companies which have not submitted tax reports and withdraw private entrepreneurs from the state registration”. Currently numerous companies and private entrepreneurs are registered in the tax authority which do not operate but have not been withdrawn from the state registry. That is the reason why the information data of the tax authority and RA State Revenue Agency under the Ministry of Justice are overloaded which complicates the work of electronic systems. Therefore, there is a necessity to dissolve taxpayers which are not actually operating.

The Government has also established the procedure of the electronic auction and the list of the goods, works and services obtained through the electronic auction.
