Notification on the VAT Deregistration Procedure for Importer Taxpayers

The General Directorate of Taxes informs taxpayers who, although they fall below the turnover threshold of 10,000,000 (ten million) lekë for the calendar year up to January 31,2020, but who during this period have made at least one import, in accordance with the VAT law, They will not be automatically deregistered from VAT tax liability.

To deregister from VAT, this category of taxpayers must submit an application to the Regional Directorate of their jurisdiction, accompanied by a self-declaration under their personal responsibility that they will not make any further imports.

These requests will be prioritized by the DRTs to proceed with deregistration.
