7 reasons to invest in Albania

Pay less tax

In Albania, taxation is 0% zero up to an income of EUR 122,000.
This parameter is valid for those companies of both persons and capital that have an interest in establishing themselves on its territory.

Thus, both personal companies and capital companies such as LLCs, up to EUR 122,000 pay no tax on profits, whereas SpAs pay a flat tax of 15%.

The same taxation regime as for natural persons also applies to limited companies, provided they do not exceed a turnover of EUR 122,000.

So to recapitulate:

• up to 122,000 you are exempt from profit tax, your company pays no tax
• above 122,000 euro turnover only 5% is paid
• La Public limited company, S.A. has a flat tax of 15% per annum

If without the obligation to file a tax return

There is no obligation to file a tax return until 2029.

Prime Minister Edi Rama passed a law that as soon as 2030, a system of IRPEF brackets will come into force at a rate of no more than 33 %

Take advantage of the bilateral double taxation convention

A bilateral convention against double taxation is in force between Italy and Albania, signed in Tirana on 12 December 1994 and entered into force on 21/12/1999. Therefore the income of your company in Albania can only be taxed in Albania.

Pay less for energy

Contrary to what happens in neighbouring Italy where many SMEs have discovered themselves after the pandemic as energy-hungry companies and are in the grip of energy speculation, inflation and recession, in Albania electricity
continues to maintain the fixed and constant price of 2021.

Electricity costs are still under control. The Albanian government has implemented regulations to protect productive enterprises and households and has an energy policy that is promoting wind and solar power in cooperation with many international partners.

Pay less for labour

Labour costs are significantly lower than in Italy even the cost of living is significantly lower than in Italy,
It is also very easy to find staff who speak Italian and English.

This factor greatly simplifies the needs of the personnel department of an SME, which more often than not is faced with major problems when it comes to the critical issue of hiring personnel in a foreign location of the Italian parent company.
