Haykakan Zhamanak: Alex Grig, Sam-Ser Group pay taxes of AMD 17.3bn in 9 months
It is evident from the list of top thousand biggest taxpayers released by Tax Inspectorate of Armenian Finance Ministry that the declared fight against shadow economy has not affected some businessmen, Haykakan Zhamanak writes.
“Alex Grig and Sam-Ser Group, two largest companies connected with Samvel Alexanyan - one of the “most interesting” Armenian businessmen, member of the parliament - paid together taxes of 17.3 billion drams in nine months of 2014. This sum exceeds last year’s index by only 1.7%. Given the fact that 1,000 taxpayers included in the list increased their taxes by over 5%, it becomes clear that the fight against shadow does not concern these companies,” the newspaper says.
