SRC has made it possible to pay taxes by card online
The SRC has created a new alternative for paying taxes online. Economic agents and individuals may now fulfill tax liabilities on the electronic File Online platform via making payment by bank card. In the light of the spread of the coronavirus, taxpayers may carry out the whole process from filing returns to paying taxes without having to visit the committee or a bank.
Formerly, taxpayers had to visit a bank or use banks’ electronic platforms in order to make a payment, whereas today the whole process of filing returns and fulfilling tax liabilities can be done in a single electronic system (https://file-online.taxservice.am/pages/loginPage.jsf). “Sometimes when making a payment by visiting a bank, company’s requisites were entered with errors, whereas the new system rules out such errors, since economic agents' data are identified once they are entered into the system,” points out Head of Information Exchange and Management Division of SRC’s IT Department Arsen Gharibyan.
In case the payment is made successfully, taxpayer gets a notification by email and a message reporting any errors appears on taxpayer’s account on File Online.
Due to the new system, payments are made instantly, whereas liabilities are transferred by the bank to treasury accounts within one working day.
Given the spread of the coronavirus, for reasons of ensuring citizens’ safety, SRC is developing new tools for fulfilling tax liabilities on electronic platform. Soon it will be possible to make payments from bank accounts on the same platform.
