Tax Advisory in Armenia

Tax advice is about decisions, not paperwork. A tax is created the moment you choose the shape of a transaction — the regime, the contract, the way you get paid. After that an accountant can only reflect a decision that has already been made. Which is why the cheapest advice is the advice taken in advance.

What people come with

Which regime to choose — VAT, turnover tax or micro-business — and what changes once the threshold is crossed. How to take profit out, as salary or as dividends, and what tax follows. What an export, an import or a contract with a foreign client actually means. What the debt shown in the tax-portal account really is, and whether it is correct.

How a consultation works

You send the question and the figures; we send back a written answer citing the articles of the tax code, within one working day. In writing, because a tax answer has to be verifiable — by you today and at an audit a year from now. If one answer will not close the question, we say so at once rather than after the third email.

The deadlines for choosing a regime

An existing business files its regime application by 20 February (article 254(1)(1) and article 267(1)(1)). A newly registered one has 20 days from registration (article 254(1)(2) and article 267(1)(2)). Those 20 days are the most commonly missed deadline in Armenia: miss them and the business stays on the general regime, with VAT and profit tax, until February of the following year.

When to ask in advance

Before signing a contract with a foreign client. Before you approach the VAT threshold — so that crossing it is planned rather than discovered. Before paying dividends. Before hiring a first employee. Before buying property in the company's name. Each of those five moments changes the tax, and after each of them fixing it is expensive or impossible.

What we do not do

We do not offer "optimisation" schemes that work until the first audit. Where the only saving available is a risky one, we say so plainly and show the price of it: the interest, the penalty and the consequence.

Audit representation

If the tax office asks about a filing we prepared, we answer it — that is in every tariff. Full representation in a scheduled audit is included if your monthly fee is 100,000 AMD or more; below that it is a separate service.

What it costs

A stand-alone consultation is 20,000 AMD per task, answered in writing. For clients on a service contract, day-to-day questions are already inside the monthly fee. The first meeting at our office is free. Bring the question and we will tell you whether it is a short answer or a piece of work in itself.
