COMPANY
IN ARMENIA

Armenia puts a lot of effort into creating new legal regulations
and become one of the most market-friendly cryptocurrencies.

Armenia is one of the fastest technologically developing countries in the former Soviet bloc. The establishment of a company in Armenia is encouraged by this country’s liberal and friendly investment policy, qualified IT specialists, and relatively low business costs.

The Armenian tax system favours the development of new technologies, offering, for example, 5 years of total VAT exemption for Armenian companies and income tax for new IT companies. The country is putting much effort into creating new regulations and becoming one of the most accommodating places, including for the cryptocurrency market.

The advantage of running a company in Armenia is that the country belongs to Russia’s free trade zone along with Central Asian countries and is still not a party to the Common Reporting Standard information exchange.

Why setting up a company in Armenia a good idea?

Owning a company in Armenia can be attractive to many entrepreneurs. The Armenian government favours the development of new technologies. Companies in Armenia can count on, among other things, 5 years of total income tax and VAT exemption for new IT companies. This has resulted in a large number of technology centres and IT incubators. Armenia’s technological potential was discovered by Microsoft itself, which launched its Microsoft Innovation Center there; among other things, the centre trains future specialists and supports the development of innovative ideas and products.

The Armenian investment market also enjoys the advantage of being a “gateway” for many European companies in Armenia to enter the Russian market.

Armenia is a member of the Eurasian Economic Union. It is also significant that the country is located between two important economic centres – the Middle East and North Africa. The Armenian government extends a special foreign investment programme to foreign business partners opening companies in Armenia, to ensure they are not at risk of expropriation of property or its nationalisation. It is also worth noting that Armenia has signed a number of trade agreements (e.g. on avoiding double taxation) with many countries, including Poland.
