AIR TAX TO BE ABOLISHED THIS YEAR
The Government of Armenia plans to abolish the 10,000 AMD 'air tax' passengers are charged at airport by the end of the year, Finance Minister of Armenia Tigran Davtian said at a briefing today.
Mr. Davtian said a principal agreement has already been achieved. The price will be included in the ticket price, but it does not mean that air companies will raise ticket price, the Minister said. T. Davtyan said the budgetary revenues from this tax made up 25-30 million drams annually. The budget will lose tangible incomes with the abolition of the tax. However the government goes no such step since the tax creates inconveniences to citizens and hinders development of tourism. The Minister also added that after having studied the international experience and the Government found out that only a few countries charge passengers this tax', the minister said.
