World Bank Warns Fiscalization May Raise Administrative Burden and Costs for Albanian Businesses

  • Fiscalization in Albania aims to improve VAT compliance and reduce informality, especially in high-risk sectors like trade, construction, and services.
  • The World Bank warns that fiscalization may increase administrative burdens and costs for businesses due to large data volumes unless compliance processes are simplified.
  • Fiscalization is expected to boost VAT collection by 10-15% when fully implemented.
  • Progress includes 77% of taxpayers obtaining electronic certificates and 57% of businesses issuing fiscalized invoices by early 2022.
  • The government has temporarily removed penalties for small businesses and certain sectors until June 30, 2022, as part of the fiscalization rollout.
