10 million euros in farmers' bank accounts - 4,104 applications registered, 10% VAT compensation for issued invoices
Nearly 10 million euros is currently estimated to be the amount that will be distributed to farmers' bank accounts as compensation at the rate of 10% of invoices submitted to the tax administration.
While applications for the benefit have started since July 1, according to data from the General Directorate of Taxes, during the period July 1 - August 31, 2026, 4,104 applications for compensation were submitted online, of which 2,906 were approved, while 1,016 are in the review process. The total amount of the 10% compensation amounts to 10 million euros.
Regarding the number of applications according to the Regional Tax Directorates, the highest flow belongs to Fier, followed by Berat, Elbasan, Shkodra, then Korça, Dibra, Durrës, Gjirokastra, Saranda, Lezha and finally Vlora and Tirana.
While the total potential value of compensation that farmers can benefit from for sales in the first 6 months is estimated at 13.8 million euros.
The Tax Administration, through a practical guide, informs registered farmers about the application procedure, encouraging them to get back the money they are due.
According to the tax administration, only farmers registered as agricultural producers with the tax authorities, who are not registered for VAT and who have an active nephew will be beneficiaries.
The application is made in 5 main steps through the personal account in eFiling with the NIPT and the corresponding password. It is important that farmers fill in their bank details and make the request for reimbursement. Then, farmers must fill out the form, in which we select the invoices they want to include and the bank account where they want to receive the money. The system automatically calculates the total amount and the 10% compensation.
After the request is submitted, it is automatically forwarded to the Regional Tax Directorate where the farmer is registered, then the data is verified according to the legal criteria of the scheme. The procedural treatment of the case is carried out and finally the farmer receives an Approved or Rejected response in the “Submitted” menu.
Referring to tax data in the first 5 months of the year, compared to the same period in 2025, there are 25% more VAT buyers buying products from farmers; 24% more farmers selling their products to VAT buyers and a 19% increase in the value of transactions carried out.
