On October 5, 2017 Ms. Esmeralda Ballesha, Coordination Unit of NBF was invited to the Investment Council’s working meeting in which were held consultations on the preliminary findings of the Survey on “Some Investment Climate Aspects”. The issues discussed at this meeting were related to Tax Control, VAT Reimbursement, Relations with Tax Administration and Informality. The data that were subject to discussion were gathered by the Investment Council through an online business survey.
During her speech, Mrs. Ballesha congratulated the work done by IC not only in meeting the mission of this Council in dialogue with the business community but also in implementing the NBF recommendation since the Investment Council has not only expanded its activity into the regions of Albania to meet regional actors but they have invited the regional actors in this meeting where the Chairman of Chamber of Commerce Durrës was also present.
During the discussion, Mrs. Ballesha confirmed some of the findings of the survey, which supported those released by the NBA earlier this year (risk-based inspections, increased transparency and information by the tax administration, behavior and professionalism of inspectors, actions on informality, etc.)
