How to submit a declaration

Citizens must submit an annual income tax declaration from the declaration section of the “Electronic reporting system for natural persons”. The system will be available both as a web version and as a mobile application.

To use the system and submit a declaration, it is necessary to have a strong electronic identification, and to make and approve changes, an electronic signature is also required. It is necessary to ensure the confidentiality, security and access of your earnings data exclusively to you. Now there are two versions of strict electronic identification and electronic signature.

Option one

Via mobile phone, which requires:

to have an identification card (ID Card), and if you don’t have one, get it from any regional office of the Migration and Citizenship Service of the RA Ministry of Internal Affairs.
With an identification card and mobile phone, visit any service center of your or another preferred mobile operator, where the mobile phone number card (SIM) will be replaced with a new card, and in case of changing the operator, a new card will be installed.
Activate the electronic identification with the help of the service staff of the mobile communication operator and with your participation.
