Tax collection efficiency should be raised in Armenia
RA prime minister Tigran Sargsyan at the sitting on Thursday called on state agencies to support the Committee on state revenues in tax collection. According to Mr. Sargsyan, first nine month will be the most difficult, and at the end of the year showings will improve.

Tigran Sargsyan noted, that there are considerable problems with taxation in health, agriculture, construction, transport and communication spheres. Besides, as prime minister mentioned, the economic downturn in the country is conditioned mainly by the decline in the construction sphere due to reduction of investments from Russia and other countries. "We must take additional measures to stimulate construction," Mr. Sargsyan said.
