The Tax and Legal Department of Deloitte Albania has prepared a technical analysis of the main changes presented by the Draft Law compared to the Current Law "On income tax" no. 8438, dated 28.12.1998, as amended. It is worth pointing out that this merely a draft and subject to discussions and further approvals. As such, we suggest that taxpayers provide their comments, suggestions, and concerns to such groups of interest (i.e., Chambers, Tax Advisors, etc.) including Deloitte professionals in order to bring them to the attention of the decision makers.
