Companies that operate in the Fason sector open and close NIPTs, transfer the activity from one name to another in order to avoid tax obligations and non-payment of social insurance to employees.
The Tax Administration announces that it has discovered a fraud scheme with Social Security. Various entities operating in the Fason sector, related to each other, have used the scheme of opening and closing NIPTs, switching business from one name to another in order to avoid paying Social Security for their employees.
In the entities identified by the Tax Administration, individuals with Albanian and Italian citizenship, who exercise economic activities in several cities of Albania, have been found to have transferred their activity from one name to another as related parties, with the aim of avoiding the possibility of the Tax Administration for the collection of the obligations of their employees.
Tax Administration, pursuant to law no. 9920 for "Tax Procedures in the Republic of Albania" considers this phenomenon as one of the most serious violations that a business makes to the state and the employee as these businesses have not only avoided fiscal obligations, but also with their actions and inactions through schemes of raised have also harmed their employees, to whom they have not paid social and health insurance for a certain period of time, jeopardizing their pension and the coverage of health services.
The Tax Administration is following the investigations of these companies as a priority to prove and document the violation of the law and to report these companies and individuals responsible for serious violations to the law enforcement bodies.
The Tax Administration announces that it is engaged in its mission to identify and document other cases of these evasions, in order to collect tax obligations and protect employed individuals.
We encourage every employee in the Republic of Albania to report to the DPT cases of non-payment of social security contributions by the employer as a legal right that every citizen has to secure a pension in the future and free health services./ Monitor
