About 9 thousand construction companies "targeted" by taxes - 7 legal
The construction sector plan, which has begun to be implemented by the tax administration, aims to reduce informality and increase transparency in the sector, as well as to encourage voluntary compliance with obligations. In order to draft and implement the plan, 8,784 active taxpayers in this sector were considered, of which 51% of taxpayers have the form of organization of a limited liability company. 47% of them are located in Tirana, 14% in Durrës and the rest are distributed in other regions.

In total, the sector employs 64,572 individuals, of whom 25% are included in the salary range of 40,001 - 50,000 lek and only 7% have salaries over 120 thousand lek.

In this context, the Tax Administration invites and encourages all taxpayers in this sector to fulfill their legal obligations correctly and on time, indicating specifically which points will be checked and penalized if they are caught in violation.

Specifically, companies are required to fulfill the obligation to declare each employee employed, in accordance with tax and social security legislation; Real declaration of salaries, based on the profession practiced, qualification, experience and real labor market conditions; Issuance of fiscalized invoices with NIVF/NSLF for each sale or transaction made, including prepayments; Purchase of any goods or services only with a regular tax invoice, guaranteeing the traceability of transactions; Accurate, complete and updated declaration of data in the Taxpayer Registry; Accurate declaration of rental contracts of premises where economic activity is carried out; Use only certified software for fiscalization, according to the requirements of the legislation in force.

The Tax Administration informs that it has and analyzes a wide range of data provided from various sources, including: data received from public and private third parties; data obtained from the CPCM system (electronic invoicing system); self-declarations of taxpayers who exercise activity in the construction sector or in its supply chain which are used to conduct in-depth risk analyses, to identify discrepancies, deviations from reference indicators and behaviors that may signal tax evasion.

Failure to comply with these obligations, as well as any other behavior aimed at tax avoidance, ascertained through risk analysis, categorizes the taxpayer as a risky entity. In these cases, the Tax Administration undertakes verification and monitoring measures, in accordance with legal powers, which may include controls, monitoring, tax investigations and administrative measures according to legal provisions.
