Scheme, how will businesses' customs duties be forgiven? - Entities are given the opportunity to pay a portion in installments, fines are waived
The "fiscal peace" package, in addition to tax obligations, also provides for the conditional cancellation of customs duties.
The draft law submitted for public consultation provides that for the duties payable to customs, recorded through decisions of this administration from January 1, 2015 to December 31, 2019, 50% of the customs duty, VAT, excise duty, national taxes collected by customs in the role of tax agent are extinguished, if the remaining 50% of them is paid all at once within 30.6.2026.
Also, 25% of customs duty, VAT, excise duty, and national taxes collected by customs in the role of tax agent are waived if the remaining 75% of them is paid in equal monthly installments by 31.12.2026.
In the above cases, fines and late payment interest for the relevant periods are completely waived.
Whereas in the case where the principal has been paid and the subject has only unpaid fines and late payment interest in its account, the fines and late payment interest are forgiven.
Likewise, fines and late fees for customs duties payable for the period from January 1, 2020 to December 31, 2024 are waived, provided that the duty for the relevant period is paid in full by December 31, 2026.
Also, all outstanding obligations up to the value of 1,500 lek are deleted for entities that have no other obligations.
The draft in question provides for the deletion of all liabilities of debtor individuals for whom there is no information on the identification number (ID), no notification of the liability for lack of identification has been made and there is no Decision for Forced Debt Recovery, including individuals who have cleared vehicles with the general NIPT/NUIS A000000A.
By 31.12.2026, the relevant bodies shall delete/erase from their accounting records and from the debtor taxpayer's account the obligations that are deleted/erase according to this law.
The law extends its effects from January 1, 2026, until December 31, 2026.
