Albanian FinMin urges tax administration to cooperate with business

Xinhua, July 31, 2016 Adjust font size:

Albanian Finance Minister Arben Ahmetaj, in an open letter to the tax administration and inspectors, asked them to be more collaborative with businesses.

The main objective of the awareness raising campaign the ministry is about to launch on Aug. 1 for the vouchers doesn't aim at placing fines and penalizing business but held the taxpayers with modesty and professionalism, the minister said Saturday.

He also urged them that despite the problems they might find during the inspections on the ground, they should bear in mind that business has to be supported and helped.

On the other hand, Ahmetaj announced a very intense campaign for simplifying the tax procedures as a way to facilitate business work and improve the business climate.

The campaign was announced a few weeks ago. It will start from Aug. 1 and it aims at making people aware of the importance of taking the receipt for each product or service they pay.

The campaign will be extended throughout the country with a special focus on tourism areas due to the greater seasonal concentration of businesses and tourists. Endit
