The law on fiscal amnesty is blocked, the Assembly does not include the government's initiative in the calendar of works

The law on fiscal amnesty is blocked, the Assembly does not include the

The government appears to have finally withdrawn from the fiscal amnesty law. The Assembly has published the calendar of works for the period 18 January-5 February 2021 which highlights the non-introduction of the law introduced by the government on fiscal and criminal amnesty. The fact that the Assembly has decided not to list it in the work plan until February suggests that criticism from international organizations has taken effect. It was the International Monetary Fund that urged the Albanian government not to proceed with the fiscal amnesty plan. The IMF has been opposed to the amnesty since the beginning when the government introduced its scheme, while in July it reiterated its implementation. According to the IMF, this decision will not provide any relief to anyone, but it will worsen the fiscal system in the country and increase the level of money laundering, instead of fighting corruption. "We reiterate our advice against a possible fiscal amnesty, as it would affect the fulfillment of tax obligations. It creates conditions for money laundering and hits honest businesses. "The country needs to first set up effective systems to detect tax evasion and prevent opportunities for money laundering and corruption, and not to encourage them even more," said the Fund. On the other hand, the EBRD does not support the Albanian government's initiative for fiscal amnesty. During a public statement, the EBRD Director for Albania said that the government should focus more on tax administration, as the only way to have fair competition in the market. The head of the EBRD in Tirana explained that amnesty is not a policy that brings sustainable development.

Ja pikat më të debatuara të amnistisë

Edhe KE i kërkoi qeverisë që të anulojë amnistinë fiskale, pasi shumë pika të saj cenojnë luftën ndaj korrupsionit dhe rrisin evazionin. Në një raport të bërë publik Komisioni Europian ka renditur pikat që, sipas tij, e bëjnë të papranueshme amnistinë fiskale për një vend si Shqipëria. Në raport evidentohet se, nuk jepet asnjë garanci që pas amnistisë fiskale, të ashtuquajturës “Viti Zero” sistemi do të sigurojë zbatimin e duhur të legjislacionit fiskal në mënyrë që praktikat e evazionit fiskal të ndalojnë. Shqipëria së pari duhet të ndërtojë një administratë tatimore profesionale, e cila do të bllokonte mundësinë për pastrim parash dhe korrupsion. Sipas KE, me zbatimin e amnistisë Shqipëria rrezikon të humbasë investimet nga bizneset e huaja, të cilët kanë shprehur pasigurinë nga ky ligj. Bizneset vendase dhe të huaja kanë shprehur shqetësimin e tyre për konkurrencën e padrejtë nga ata që kanë ruajtur pasuritë e tyre jashtë sistemit deri më tani.

Here is what the fiscal amnesty contains

The government fiscal amnesty will forgive the legal effects of their concealment on all movable or immovable property of individuals or companies, which will make their voluntary declaration. According to the whitewashed draft of the Ministry of Finance, assets inside or outside the country that could be declared include property, money, gold, precious stones, works of art and even digital currencies and securities. To facilitate this process, beneficiary entities will be taxed at 5% of the total amount declared if they make the application within the first four months of the law's entry into force. Subsequently, this tax rate increases to 7% for the second four months and to 10% for the third four months. Also, any litigation or fines and interest related to these assets will be terminated.
