Property tax not postponed, Ahmetaj’s statement misunderstood: Head of Municipalities Association
Municipalities are not in a transitional period regarding the application of the new methodology for calculating the property tax.
In an interview with TV SCAN, the Executive Director of the Albanian Association of Municipalities Agron Haxhimali points out that municipalities are working and calculating the tax according to the law and to the government’s decision with the predefined methodology.
According to him, the statement by the Minister of Finance and Economy Arben Ahmetaj is a misunderstanding as there is no room for municipalities to postpone the application of this tax.
Haxhimali has also explained how the municipalities will operate regarding billing, despite the fact that this month the bill may have been billed according to to the old scheme.
On the other hand, a week ago, the Director of Local Finance at the Ministry of Finance and Economy clarified that there is no withdrawal after April 1, and municipalities will apply the methodology of building tax.
The new methodology for calculating the building tax came into force on 1 April, although the fiscal property register was not ready.
