28-07-2026 12:51 Armenia Press release
The second division of the Investigation and Operational Intelligence Department of the RA State Revenue Committee received operational data indicating that a company engaged in retail fuel trade on the Yerevan-Sevan highway does not fully reflect the revenues obtained from sales in the tax calculations submitted to the tax authorities.
“The employees of the Operational Intelligence Department have undertaken and carried out extensive operational-intelligence measures. Data regarding sales have been extracted and examined from the refueling towers installed at the company's gas stations:
Simultaneously, sales accounting ledgers and notebooks containing informal entries have also been studied. The obtained data has been compared with the tax calculation data for the same periods available in the SRC information database. It has been revealed that the company has underreported approximately 600 million AMD in sales turnover for compressed natural gas, liquefied gas, gasoline, and diesel fuel for the years 2022-2026.
As a result, around 210 million AMD has not been calculated and paid to the state budget.
A report regarding the aforementioned fact has been submitted to the Main Investigation Department for Economic Crimes and Smuggling of the RA Investigative Committee, where a criminal proceeding has been initiated under the relevant article of the RA Criminal Code.
The Investigation and Operational Intelligence Department of the Committee continues to take necessary measures not only to uncover committed crimes but also to prevent them, while urging economic operators to refrain from such detrimental behavior and not to commit illegal acts, and to provide buyers with mandatory cash register receipts or other accounting documents as stipulated by law.”
