Today, the regular discussion was held under the chairmanship of Deputy Prime Minister Tigran Khachatryan with the participation of representatives of concerned state departments and unions representing the private sector on the practice of initiating criminal proceedings based on tax administration.
A detailed discussion took place on the main problems identified in this direction and possible solutions to address them. In particular, the concerned departments presented possible actions to be taken to regulate the issues of the validity of reports sent to the Investigative Committee on tax issues, as well as the time-consuming nature of criminal proceedings because of their large number.
