Nor Zovk chain of supermarkets in Yerevan accused of tax evasion

YEREVAN, February 20. /ARKA/. Armenia's State Revenue Committee (SRC) said today that several Nor Zovk supermarkets in Yerevan were closed in the morning after its and National Security Service 's' officers found out that the company running the supermarkets used a sophisticated scheme to avoid taxes in large amounts.

The SRC said it acted on a tip that Nor Zovk LLC, used modern information technologies to interferee with the cash register software, would print for customers cash register receipts with a fiscal number but would not send information about the amounts paid to the tax authorities. As a result, the company hid the real sales turnover, did not calculate and did not pay taxes in especially large amounts.

The SRC said the decision to close the supermarkets and carry out searches was taken after its employees together with NSS officers jointly implemented a series of test purchases at various supermarkets between October 17-25, 2022. -0-
