A diverse range of tax and customs incentives to foster investment and stimulate business growth

In order to promote economic activities in bordering communities, a range of tax exemptions is available. This includes exemptions from Value Added Tax (VAT), profit tax and turnover tax. Furthermore, for investment projects exceeding 2 billion AMD (approximately 5 million USD), within the scope of operations in the Dilijan community and adjacent territories of Tavush region of Armenia, there are additional exemptions from both VAT and profit tax.

To encourage export-oriented investment projects, the Armenian government offers customs duties exemption on the import of equipment and raw materials from non-EAEU (Eurasian Economic Union) countries within the framework of export-oriented investment projects. Additionally, there is a 0% Value Added Tax (VAT) applied to the majority of production equipment and raw materials imported for further processing.

Special tax incentives are provided to ensure the continuous development of the IT sector, particularly a 10% reduction in the income tax on employees' salaries. These advantages enable IT startups to reinvest a significant portion of their earnings into expanding and developing the company.

The medical sector benefits from significant tax advantages to support its operations and ensure affordable healthcare services. These benefits include exemption from Value Added Tax (VAT) for the sale and provision of prosthetic and orthopedic accessories, medical equipment, medical products and medical assistance services. By exempting VAT on these essential healthcare goods and services, the government aims to reduce costs and make them more accessible to the public.
