3.  For cash transactions by taxpayers, regardless of tax liability or annual turnover, the effects of this law will begin on September 1, 2021.

Following the meetings, with the aim of assisting taxpayers in general and your sector in particular, the General Directorate of Taxes and Compulsory Health Insurance Fund (CHIF), along with The Order of Pharmacists of Albania have addressed the concern regarding the reporting of transactions between taxpayer entities “Pharmacies” and the Health Care Services and Insurance Fund (FSDKSH), and have reached the following conclusion:

Until the full implementation of the fiscalization system, all daily reports submitted between taxpayers “Pharmacies” and FSDKSH will continue to be carried out as they have been through summary invoices, but provided that these summary invoices are fiscalized via a certified software solution. Accordingly, the summary invoices for July 2021 will be issued only through certified software solutions for cashless transactions by August 10, 2021, with the exception of cases where the invoicing process has not been implemented for reasons beyond the taxpayer's control.
