New Tax Code?
The Senior Manager from PWC, Mr. Paul Cooper comments on the Special Part of the Armenian tax code. "Armenia may have a new tax code in 2010, or in 2011, or it may not. In any case, we would also benefit from more open and transparent dialogue between the government and the business community concerning the tax laws that we have and how they can be made better".
