They Have No Workplace, But They Have an Address: The Tax Service is Ready to Enter Celebrities' Homes for Tax Matters

I remain very calm about the statements from representatives of the show business who say that they can easily hide their income. This was stated by the head of the Tax Service, David Ananyan, in response to a question from "Haykakan Zhamanak" after today's government meeting on December 27.

“Of course, they can hide it. We say that you can declare your income as much as you earn. If people immediately say ‘you cannot control’, yes, we cannot, but can’t you control yourselves? In other words, do you think that you definitely won’t do something wrong? Declare as much as you received. If you want to deceive, deceive,” said Ananyan.

In response to a question from HZ about what the Tax Service will do if the show business representatives hide their income, the head of the Tax Service replied: “We will also try to use our administrative tools to verify through our information sources whether the person has submitted a correct declaration or not.”

To the observation of the HZ journalist that they do not have a workplace address, will you enter their homes, Ananyan replied: “If they have no workplace, they have an address. Maybe we will write, ask them to come forward, and we will also explain to them how to pay taxes. If they received 1 million drams, they should declare exactly that amount.”
