- Abstract
Albania's tax system does not discriminate against foreign investors and no distinction is made between foreign and domestic investors. The e-taxes reform is progressing and as of January 2008, corporate income tax was reduced from 20% to 10%, one of the lowest in the region. In addition, as of May 2009-2010, the social insurance contribution payable by employers will be reduced again from 20% to 15%, down from 29% in 2006. Businesses can file their tax returns and social insurance declarations electronically in 12 cities including Tirana and electronic payment of taxes is also possible through certain banks. Supported by donor assistance and international and local NGO's the city initiated a community-based development strategy in the informal. The program brought together local government teams, NGO's and residents to formulate a development plan for the neighborhood define priorities for improvements and determine equitable cost-sharing formulas to finance infrastructure.
