Higher Revenue, Easier Filing: How Armenia Improved the Way its Citizens Pay Taxes

Armenia was faced with a slowing economy, sinking remittances, and inefficient tax administration. At the same time, ordinary taxpayers had to navigate arduous processes when paying taxes.

Reforms helped the country build a fairer tax code and collect more public revenues.
