The Armenian National Assembly has amended the turnover tax law, giving its consent to the proposed postponement of enforcement of a requirement on small and medium-scale business owners to provide the tax authorities with documentary evidence of their wholesale purchase deals with larger firms.
The government was forced to postpone its enforcement until February 1, but earlier the non-governmental parliamentary factions Prosperous Armenia, Heritage, Orinats Yerkir and Armenian National Congress said they would abstain from voting, since they disagree with a postponement until July 1, but would not vote against it, since this is still better than the current rules, ARKA reports.
The lawmakers supported the postponement motion by 79 votes, 19 MPs abstained.
