Income Declaration Will Not Be Mandatory

The Deputy Chair of the NA Standing Committee on Economic Affairs announced that they plan to introduce amendments to the personal income declaration bill at an extraordinary session of Parliament:

If a citizen believes that, apart from the information already visible to the Tax Service (e.g., salary, etc.), they have no other income to add, they can choose not to enter the system at all. After the deadline—starting November 1st—if the citizen has not logged into the system and confirmed the declaration, their declaration will be considered completed and submitted based on the information that was available to the Tax Service," explained Tunyan, presenting the proposed change.

Citizens who wish to benefit from the social guarantees provided by the state (compensation for expenses up to 100,000 Drams in the education and healthcare sectors) must fill out the declaration themselves and cannot rely on automatic generation.

We have opposed the introduction of a universal income declaration system from day one, stating that it contradicts all principles of a democratic society.

We also promised that on the very first day of coming to power, we would revoke a number of absurd laws and systems that were created to complicate the lives of our people, for state interference in the private lives of citizens, and for other anti-democratic purposes.

The universal declaration system will be one of the first to be abolished. If people are paying their taxes, and the state is developing additional control mechanisms over hundreds of thousands of citizens whose work is not connected to state structures and whose salaries do not depend on the budget, this cannot be perceived as anything other than unjustified curiosity.

And the current forced step back by the authorities is absolutely predictable.
This is only the beginning.
We will send the income declaration law to the trash can.
Let's continue to boycott income declaration!
