The "Fact" daily writes:
It is known that the citizens who had an obligation to report 2024 income were made by May 1, but when the declaration had serious public discontent and noise, the process was extended until November.
Delaying is also conditioned by many monsters of the universal declaration system, but the authorities, although they have to go through the deferral, do not want to refuse their unfortunate program for the public.
Proof of this is that the Armenian government gave a negative conclusion at the March 13 sitting of the National Assembly's legislative initiative, and the government considered it "fundamentally unacceptable" with comments.
Moreover, they are so careless and dilapidated in their work that the project was impressed by the Finance, and the system will be canceled. Then they had to present clarifications. And why is the universal declaration system incomplete and incapacitated, many specialists regularly speak out, noting many reasons.
First of all, the citizens are not enough to be informed about how they will present the declarations, and in many cases there are no relevant technical skills.
The process of issuing a declaration is so confused and difficult that it is necessary to be a financier in some ways, to some extent to understand the scope of laws and computer skills.
Not counting the identification process that reminds a real labyrinth. Authorities say they are organizing awareness measures. Then it turned out that the State Revenue Committee organizes one-day courses for 16,000 drams to teach the citizens how to fill out the declaration.
In other words, it is not enough to enter the pockets of the citizens in the daily basis, and one thing has set a business at the expense of people.
But it's still one side. In case of "teaching" some people, nothing changes. In fact, the system is not only ready not only in terms of technical equipment or software, but also many shortcomings, gaps and double interpretation remain in the air.
Plus this, the necessary documentation, the need to fill in the reports and the high level of accountability can cause many to avoid completing accurate data, take them out of the country or carry out certain transactions through the country or carry out certain transactions through the country.
In some cases, a universal declaration may lead to an impact that people start hiding more income, avoiding high taxes, more precisely, unnecessary tax. This can reduce tax revenues and hinder the growth of state revenues.
In the shadows, those operators will always find output, regardless of the universal declaration. They are still very few that tend to fill in the declaration.
For example, since the reporting year of 2024, only about 8,000 individuals have been declared a declaration since the beginning of this year. It is clear that by the end of the year this number will barely 100,000 instead of about 750 thousand. That is, if the state needs to spend big resources, make a special system of declarations, and only a small part of the data will complement the system, its meaning.
On the other hand, people are worried that their data can be used against them, especially in opposition, when criminal cases can be filed under the name of taxes.
Well, if we convene that, according to experts, the government is also deceitful by the threshold of up to 300 thousand drams, and for their donations, debt, and the unnecessary taxation field, the image becomes more complete.
