Novelties regarding VAT return in Albania

From July 1st, 2022 the VAT return and the books of sales and purchases are automatically filled in by the Fiscalization system. The Central Invoice Platform in Albania consists of a sales book and a purchases book for every taxpayer of fiscalization. These books are based on the invoices submitted to the central tax administration.

So far, every taxpayer who issues an invoice had to manually review their data in the books, no later than the 10th of the month following the month in which the invoices are issued and received. The taxpayers had to manually supplement this data with additional information, if necessary, and finally, confirm the accuracy of the data.

From July 1st, the sales book and purchases book, as well as the VAT return request form will be filled in automatically, according to the data stored in the fiscalization system.

The General Directorate of Taxes also announced that throughout June, taxpayers will still be offered a space dedicated for them to report any problems encountered during manual submissions of this data in the menus "Purchase book item and sales book item".

Taxpayers can also report their issues through the Help Desk Platform at http://helpdesk.tatime.gov.al/ or through official e-mail addresses of the Regional Directorates where the taxpayer is registered at https://www.tatime.gov.al/c/9/157/drejtorite-rajonale
