— Treasury Nominee Commits to Address “Barriers to U.S.-Armenia Economic Relations”; State Department Official Testifies that Tax Treaty is “Under Active Consideration”<\/strong><\/p>\n

WASHINGTON, DC – David Kautter, the incoming Assistant Secretary of the Treasury for Tax Policy, expressed willingness, during his Senate confirmation process, to engage with Congressional stakeholders and professional Treasury Department staff regarding a U.S.-Armenia Double Tax Treaty, an economic accord, backed by the Armenian National Committee of America<\/a> (ANCA), aimed at removing barriers to the growth of bilateral trade and investment.<\/p>\n

Kautter’s comments were reinforced earlier today by Acting Assistant Secretary of State John Heffern, who, in response to questions posed by Rep. Brad Sherman (D-CA) during a Congressional hearing, testified that a U.S.-Armenia Double Tax Treaty is “under active consideration” by the Department of State.<\/p>\n
