Experimenting with tax compliance in Armenia

UNDP Armenia tested the impact of low-cost behavioral interventions on tax compliance as a complementary measure to conventional policy instruments (i.e. costly audits and fines). Compared to a scenario with no intervention, the low-cost interventions increased the turnover declaration by around 343,548 USD (9%) in the first quarter of 2020. Compared to a scenario with no intervention, the low-cost intervention increased the turnover tax declaration by around 87,509 USD (6.3%) in the first quarter of 2020.
