Under the amended law, insurance premiums made by employers are not subject to income taxes.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking at a news conference at Novosti international press center, he said the share of health insurances in the overall number of insurance polices rose from 8.5% in 2008-09 to 12% or to about one billion Drams. The volume of insurance payments also rose by 57% to 569 million Drams, he said, adding that the positive impact of the amendments to the law are obvious.<\/p>\n<p>Vakhtang Mirumian, an official from the ministry of finance, said the companies buying health insurances for their employees will see a 35% cut in the income taxes.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018The goal of the amendments is to create an incentive for employers and encourage them to buy health insurances for their employees.
