- In May 2025, the Albanian General Directorate of Taxation issued a notice for foreign companies supplying digital services to non-taxable persons in Albania.
- The notice stresses the importance of voluntary compliance with VAT obligations.
- Companies should appoint a local fiscal representative and register for VAT in Albania.
- They must collect and account for VAT at a standard rate of 20 percent.
- Services covered include telecommunication, broadcasting, web services, software, media, and distance teaching.
- Non-compliance may lead to penalties or enforcement by the Albanian Tax Administration.
- This aligns with the EU’s VAT framework for cross-border digital services and highlights Albania’s focus on digital economy compliance.
