Dimitri Kumsishvili , the Minister of Finances has responded to question in regard to Rustavi 2"s tax arrears.

The Minister hopes that the "reasonable schedule" of tax payment will be elaborated.

"I personally believe that this is a non-competitive environment, I do not say this as a Finance Minister whose immediate duty is to collect taxes, I say it as the person whose responsibility is to develop economy, including economic block. Everyone should pay the tax . When one company does not pay taxes , it is in non-competitive environment and has more money, hence has the opportunity to get better employees, buy better equipment, make better programs, which certainly does not create a competitive environment,"-said Dimitri Kumsishvili.
