“The time has come to increase the level of taxation in Albania … and, if it goes in coordination with what is happening in other countries, the tax rate, according to me, in Albania should be at least 20% and the progressiveness should be deepened.”
This proposal was made by Ervin Bushati, the chairman of the Socialist Party branch of Tirana, who justified such a measure with the challenges that the country is going through, when everyone expects more from the state to face Covid-19 or global warming emergencies.
Bushati had a debate on a local TV on Friday with a business representative, the head of the Exporters Association, Alban Susi.
“To be honest I think that if we are going to continue with these challenges, with COVID – which seems to be going on, with emergencies coming from global warming – fires, floods that are becoming permanent, we definitely need increase funds and the time has come to grow the level of taxation in Albania, “said Bushati, a former Finance Minister. / argumentum.al
