- The Tax Administration conducts periodic on-site inspections to combat informality throughout the territory of Albania.
- Verification and field monitoring inspectors wear an identifying uniform as a measure against abuse and informal visits.
- Unregistered entities risk an immediate suspension of their strip-related activities.
In June 2022, the Tax Administration's Directorate of Verification and Field Monitoring conducted a wide-ranging operation in the Municipality of Kamëz, with over 60 inspections, which resulted in 25 unregistered businesses having their operations shut down with banners. This type of action, with a nationwide scope, continues to be part of the administration's ongoing work against informality.
From our daily work, we see that some small businesses underestimate the risk of an unexpected inspection, thinking that actions only affect certain areas or sectors, when in fact they have a nationwide scope and occur periodically.
How are inspectors identified in the field?
Inspectors conducting verification and field monitoring are issued an identifying uniform, a standard established precisely to prevent abuses and informal visits masquerading as official inspections. Any case of abuse or irregularity by an inspector can and should be reported to the Tax Administration.
Every time there is a tax or financial change that affects your business, we notify you directly by email with a practical explanation.

The safest way to protect yourself from an unexpected inspection is to regularly record every activity and keep your documentation in order every day, not just before an impending inspection. If you have doubts about the authenticity of an inspection visit, ask to see the inspector's identification and official uniform.
