YEREVAN, December 15. /ARKA/. Karen Karapetyan, Armenian prime minister, met Wednesday with the heads of the ten companies which are the country’s biggest taxpayers to talk to them about their problems and the steps they expect from the government.
The entrepreneurs singled out too high extra taxation, too complicated tax and customs laws and too much time needed for customs clearing as their major problems.
Speaking about extra payments, the premier said that it is necessary to cooperate with the State Revenue Committee to set a certain schedule.

Expansion of large taxpayers’ activities, increase of industrial capacity and further development of the economy were among the issues discussed at the meeting.
