- In September 2021, DPT launched a three-month, on-site daily assistance program to help small businesses complete the fiscalization steps.
- The steps the trainers explained were creating an account on e-Albania, applying for an electronic certificate, uploading it to the Self-Care portal, and registering the business information.
- The program itself and the 2021 regional visit calendar ended long ago, but the steps remain the same ones that a new business follows today to obtain a fiscal number.
In September 2021, the General Directorate of Taxation launched a three-month plan, with trained teams of employees visiting small businesses on-site to help them complete the necessary steps of fiscalization. The program included a calendar of visits by tax regional directorates from September to November 2021.
From our daily work we see that the questions from back then are still relevant: how to create an account, how to apply for a certificate, how to record data, even though the specific field assistance program has ended.
What did the 2021 program help with?
During visits, trained staff helped businesses with four concrete steps: creating an account on the e-Albania portal, applying for an electronic certificate, uploading the certificate to the Self-Care portal, and registering the business's data on the same portal. These remain the same basic steps that every new business follows today when it starts the fiscalization process, simply without the physical on-site assistance that was provided back then.
Every time there is a tax or financial change that affects your business, we notify you directly by email with a practical explanation.

The regional calendar is history, not the steps.
The 2021 field assistance program and its regional visit calendar ended years ago. If you need help with fiscalization today, you don't wait for a scheduled visit; instead, you can follow the steps described above yourself or seek assistance from an external economist. For the full technical elements you need, see Fiscalization elements: what businesses need today.
How we handle this with our clients
When a client begins the fiscalization process, we personally guide them through the same steps that were once explained by DPT visits, sparing them the uncertainty of setting up the account and applying for the certificate on their own.
