TIRANA, February 2 /ATA/ Prime Minister Edi Rama stated today that, “We will not leave in any way 530 million dollars to remain in the pockets of large companies or oligarchs, as the opposition calls them”.
In the weekly press conference “Economy in Focus”, on the topic – “Reconstruction”, PM Rama said that, “We will not do any kind of campaign with the tax, we will just continue to repeat what we said from the beginning: who wins more, will pay more; whoever earns less, will pay less. Since we are accused as the government and the political force that protects the oligarchs, we will in no way leave the $ 530 million in the pockets of the big companies or the oligarchs, as they call them.
“We will not leave the $ 530 million that is there to be invested in infrastructure, in schools, in hospitals, salary increases, pensions to go back to what it was before we came to government and re-established this principle”.
“Small business pays zero tax in Albania and zero VAT up to 100 thousand dollars turnover, unimaginable until a few years ago. It became possible because we have consolidated the financial base of this country. The rest up to 140 thousand dollars turnover pays zero profit tax and VAT, of course “, – said Rama./k.s/p.s./
