September 22, 2020
“Every business with a turnover from 0 to 14 million ALL will pay zero profit tax. Every business with a turnover from 0 to 10 million ALL will pay 0 VAT. "This is a unique support in the region," Rama said.
"There are over 93 thousand businesses that make up 77% of the total that are exempt from taxes. That was our commitment. "

“There is another side: to increase the small business tax, to pay 10% profit tax and 20% VAT and then we compensate something. To impose a 10% tax on the salary of all those who have salaries. But we can not do these ", said Rama, while adding that this government has decided to zero the small business tax and has increased the tax for big business to 15%.

“Very soon, from June 1, we will present the new law on income tax, which will precisely target the free professions, will target those professions which today individuals open businesses and sell to other businesses, such as services by eliminating the payment of taxes. This from the entry into force of the law that will be introduced soon will no longer be possible as all liberal professions will have to pay…. Minister of Finance…
The word given, the word kept- is a refrain that is often heard by the government.
The government implemented the promise of zero taxes for small businesses with a turnover of up to 14 million ALL on January 1, 2021. The promise was for 8 years until 2029. But now the government has changed its mind. And he may have the right to review the 14 million lek bandage, but the language used reminds him of the fight against the kulaks. "
The liberal professions are the people who make their living by paying for social and health insurance, local taxes and any other fees associated with their business. Are if they can be called the middle class, the class that pays more than any other class (the upper class does not spend) the indirect VAT tax because it consumes more than others. They are not people who have broken the law, but have believed in the promise of the government, in the word given.
No one can say exactly how many times the tax law has been interfered with, but what has been characteristic for decades is the unpredictability: it does the calculations with the law and the law changes not from one mandate to another, but several times within the mandate.
Pyetja është kur bëhen zotimet a bëhen llogaritë? A parashikohet efekti financiar? Mundësitë për abuzime? Konsultimet me grupet e interesit? Apo ecet “me të parë e me të bërë”?
Në mënyrë të përsëritur kemi dëgjuar deputetë të shumicës në Parlament dhe në debate televizive marrëzira të tipit: “asnjë lek nuk do të paguajnë shqiptarët, do t’i paguajë buxheti” – nuk janë thënë nga njerëz që nuk e dinë se çfarë është buxheti, por janë thënë duke menduar se shqiptarët janë budallenj.
Buxheti për bëhet nga taksat/tatimet/tarifat që paguajmë dhe nga borxhet që merren.
Kur votohet një herë në katër vjet, nuk votohet vetëm kush do të na përfaqësojë politikisht, votohet për ata që mban fjalën e dhënë, por mbi të gjitha votohet edhe se kush do të menaxhojë paratë tona, pra buxhetin!
The freelance professionals that the special law will "target" after 2 weeks, fortunately are many and are not among those who believe that "Albanians will not pay a single lek, that the budget will pay".
