During a meeting with business representatives, the Prime Minister Sali Berisha declared that the government will adopt a new regime for stimulating the private enterprising.
He also warned reforms for creating a stimulating environment that is competitive for the business.
“Our government has decided to support low taxes, and we will consolidate this policy. We guarantee you that there will be no tax increase, but we are studying a way to lower them even more. We believe that low taxes are much more efficient for the society than high taxes. The truth is that the world experienced the deepest crisis in 30 years, not because they had lower taxes, but because they had higher taxes. Another scientific truth is that very reliable studies of the most serious universities in the world, such as Oxford, have proved that every dollar reduced from tax on profit or tax on personal income, 0.54% goes to the workers and serves for opening new jobs, for increasing wages, for improving working conditions. Those who think that they will cure the economy by destroying the rich people, they only think how to return the cycles that proved to be the most disastrous in the history of humanity”, Berisha declared.
SP: Berisha on taxes, too late
The Socialist Party reacted after the declaration of the Prime Minister. The Secretary of the Program “For a National Rebirth”, Ilir Beqja, accused the Prime Minister to be too late in trying to hear the problems of the business.
Beqja listed a series of problems that the business community faces, and for which he blamed the government of Berisha.
“Saliu has started the entire week with lies. He declared that Albania is the country of low taxes, it’s not the opposition saying this, but a serious report commissioned by the World Bank in 2012 shows that the taxes in Albania are higher than in the neighbor countries. The only one that is against business here, is the government”, Beqja declared.
