Tax authorities of Tajikistan bring $18.7-million claims against TT Mobile [AKIpress News Agency (Kyrgyz Republic)]


(AKIpress News Agency (Kyrgyz Republic) Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) Tax authorities of Tajikistan brought claims against TT Mobile, local branch of Russia's mobile operator MegaFon, in the amount of 94 million somoni ($18.7 million), according to the Russian media.



TT Mobile, in turn, filed a lawsuit challenging the decision of the Tax Committee of Tajikistan. The preliminary court hearing is scheduled for August 20.

The mobile phone operator asked the court to consider the decision of the tax authorities as entirely unfounded, since the operator works under the current tax legislation of the country.


In 2013, revenues of TT Mobile amounted to around $52.7 million. Tax claims thus made 33% of the annual revenues.

Last year, the MegaFon's branch served 1.8 million subscribers, occupying 18.5% of the market.
