Starting from January 2020, the government intends to launch a reform in the property tax sector simultaneously. This is what Armenia’s Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said during a discussion on the report on the activities of the government in 2018, responding to the question from Deputy of the Bright Armenia faction Ani Samsonyan.

According to the Prime Minister, the government will change the system of determination of property tax in such a way that social justice is established due to that tax. “Nobody in Armenia has ever become rich with his salary, much less wealthy. The government intends to foster a high salary policy. We don’t want to lead a struggle to have people continue to earn a good living with an AMD 80,000 salary,” Pashinyan clarified.

Moreover, he stated that there should not be a cheap workforce in Armenia. On the contrary, workers need to be qualified and receive high salaries. The head of government added that there should not be people who believe they can earn a good living with an AMD 80,000 salary.
