The RA State Revenue Committee's Investigation and Operational Intelligence Department has received operational information regarding the company "O.K." LLC, located at 5 Yerevan-Abovyan Highway in Vardenis, Kotayk Province, which is better known to the public as an entertainment and leisure center or casino, that it does not fully reflect the revenues obtained from sales in the tax calculations submitted to the tax authorities:

The SRC reports that as a result of this, the responsible persons of the company underreport the actual turnover from sales, resulting in a lower calculation of tax liabilities payable to the budget.

"The employees of the Investigation and Operational Intelligence Department of the RA State Revenue Committee, within the framework of extensive operational-intelligence measures, established contact with the relevant employees of the company as clients to familiarize themselves with the actual price list of events organized by the company. The latter, unaware that the clients were undercover employees of the Investigation and Operational Intelligence Department, provided information about the actual price list of events, while also informing that, regardless of the number of guests, the hall is provided for no less than 12 million AMD."

The areas of the leisure and entertainment venue where credible digital and documentary data regarding the company's sales turnover may be present have also been verified.

The employees of the Investigation and Operational Intelligence Department have thoroughly analyzed the obtained data, developed the sequence of actions to be taken, and proceeded with overt operations.

Within the framework of the operations, the data available on the computers regarding the company's activities, internal accounting, and draft documents were simultaneously investigated.

The obtained data were compared with the tax calculation data for the same periods available in the SRC's information database, resulting in the discovery that the revenue amounting to 300 million AMD generated from 25 parties organized by the company in 2025-26 was not reflected in the calculations submitted to the tax authorities. As a result, approximately 82 million AMD was not calculated and paid to the state budget.

A report on the apparent crime has been submitted to the Economic Crimes and Smuggling Investigation Department of the RA Investigative Committee, where a criminal proceeding has been initiated under the second point of the third part of Article 290 of the RA Criminal Code," the SRC's statement reads.

At the same time, the RA State Revenue Committee urges entrepreneurs to refrain from such behavior and to operate transparently, while citizens are encouraged to demand cash register receipts or other payment documents as stipulated by law.

Notice: The accused in a crime is presumed innocent until proven guilty in accordance with the procedure established by the RA Criminal Procedure Code by a legally binding court decision.
