The Tax Authority reports that operational information was received in the 13th division of the investigation and operational intelligence department, indicating that a company providing inter-regional and intra-regional regular passenger transport in the territory of the Republic of Armenia is not fully reflecting the revenues from services provided to the public in the tax reports submitted to the tax authorities, resulting in an understatement of taxes payable to the budget.
“The department's employees undertook comprehensive operational and investigative measures, examining the data available in the draft journals related to the services provided by the mentioned company. During the measures, the drivers of the company providing regular passenger transport were also questioned.
The obtained information was cross-referenced with the tax reports submitted to the tax authorities for the same period available in the Tax Authority's information database. It was revealed that the company had understated approximately 4.3 billion drams in sales turnover for the years 2025-2026, resulting in around 1.1 billion AMD in tax obligations that were not calculated and not paid to the state budget.
A report on the apparent crime has been submitted to the Main Investigation Department for Economic Crimes and Smuggling of the Investigative Committee, where a criminal case has been initiated under the relevant article of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Armenia.
The Tax Authority urges taxpayers engaged in regular passenger transport to declare only the actual volumes of sales turnover and to maintain accounting records in accordance with the regulations established by law.
The Investigation and Operational Intelligence Department of the Tax Authority continues to take necessary measures not only to uncover committed crimes but also to prevent them,” the statement said.
