"Crown Agents Limited" takes Customs

The government has approved an agreement that gives the “Crown Agents Limited” the right to assist and survey the Albanian customs.

According to this decision, the British Company will assist for improving the performance, increasing revenues and reducing corruption in the customs administration. The agreement has not made public yet, but soon it will be sent for approval at the Albanian Parliament.

The government says that through this service, the private company aims to improve the results of the customs administration in the tax collection, by reducing the fiscal evasion and the corruption in the customs administration. Sources from the Ministry of Finances say that for this service, the company will be paid through a success fee that has not been made public yet.
