ArmInfo.Armenian individuals undertake to pay off their land tax debts in case of making land sale transactions. Amendments to the Law on Land Tax were adopted at the plenary meeting of the RA National Assembly on March 6 in the second  and final reading.

According to the co-author of the presented document, MP of the  National Assembly Argishti Mekhakyan, there are often cases when the  buyer of the land only after the transaction is found out about the  presence of debts on the land tax and the fines and penalties  charged. The MP stressed that the current regulations do not provide  for the transfer of outstanding tax liabilities to the new owner.  With the adoption of the document, notary authorities and other  authorized structures undertake to require the submission of a  certificate of payment of debts. According to Mekhakyan, the proposed  regulation is already applied in the sale of vehicles. In addition,  as a result of the bill adopted by the National Assembly of the  Republic of Armenia, this measure will also be applied to residential  premises. -
