The turnover revaluation for 2025 increases local obligations, some businesses

The 2025 turnover reassessment for businesses in Tirana has led to a 4-fold increase in local duties, for the cleaning fee and the temporary educational infrastructure tax.

For both of these obligations, the payment is calculated based on the categorization according to annual turnover, divided into four bands, defined in decision 158/2019 of the Tirana Municipal Council, "On the system of Local Taxes and Tariffs in the city of Tirana", as amended.

According to this decision, for the calculation of the cleaning fee and the temporary educational infrastructure tax, businesses are divided into four main turnover groups: from 0 to 2 million lek and from 2 to 8 million lek, which includes small businesses, and over 8 million lek per year, where the latter includes medium-sized businesses. Depending on this division, the level of local obligations is also determined.

According to the "tax assessment" notices that the General Directorate of Local Taxes and Fees has sent to businesses, it turns out that for some entities, the turnover revaluation has resulted in a transition to a higher turnover band. This has automatically led to an increase in liabilities for 2025 for the temporary educational infrastructure tax and the cleaning fee.

Specifically, the case of a business with activity as a "service unit", where for 2024 it appeared in the lowest turnover category, for 2025 it was classified in the turnover category over 8 million lek per year.

The change in turnover from small to medium-sized business has led to a 4-fold increase in cleaning fee obligations and a 3-fold increase in the temporary educational infrastructure tax.

Specifically, a business operating as a "service unit" for 2024 based on annual turnover was classified in the range of 2 to 8 million lek per year. And paid 4 thousand lek in liability for the temporary educational infrastructure tax.

This year, he was classified as a business with a turnover of over 8 million lek per year and was assessed a liability of 17 thousand lek for education tax, or about 3 times more than he had paid.

Meanwhile, the cleaning fee for 2024 was 11,500, as it was classified as a business with a turnover of 2 to 8 million lek.

For 2025, according to annual turnover, it is classified in the range of over 8 million lek and the cleaning fee obligation is 57,500 lek per year or about 4 times higher.

In addition to the Directorate of Local Taxes and Tariffs, information on turnover changes comes from the Regional Tax Directorate (DRT).

This year too, the change in turnover for 2025 has directly impacted the review of local duties and fees and taxes applied to businesses in Tirana.

In 2025, notices for tax reassessment of local taxes for businesses that had changed their turnover in 2024 brought an increase in liabilities for businesses.

In addition to the reassessment of the obligation, businesses also faced fines and late payment interest for failing to declare the change in turnover on time, which automatically results in a change in category for education tax and cleaning fee.

At that time, the General Directorate of Local Taxes and Tariffs clarified that any tax liability must be declared by the entity within the specified deadlines, and that any request for information regarding these changes can be addressed to the address [email protected] or can be made at tax counters.

But only this year were businesses able to self-declare changes to their data, including turnover, before recalculating their obligations online, by filling out the form on e-Albania. The deadline for self-declaration is until May 31./ Monitor
