TIRANA, Nov. 1 /ATA/ – Main opposition Democratic Party (DP) lawmaker Jorida Tabaku said on Sunday that the measures proposed under the government’s 2027 fiscal package would place additional pressure on small businesses and self-employed professionals.
In a social media statement, Tabaku said the proposed reduction of the VAT registration threshold to 5 million lek and the application of the standard 21% VAT rate would increase costs for small businesses.
She warned that the changes would leave businesses with less room to invest, put pressure on them to raise prices and create greater uncertainty for families dependent on their income.
“Small businesses support families. The government is increasing their burden,” Tabaku said, stressing that behind every shop, workshop and office are people working to provide for their households.
She called on the government to support small businesses and working people rather than impose additional tax burdens on them.
