Corporate Tax Advisory
The tax dimension of business decisions, before they are made.
Every significant decision your company makes has a tax consequence in Albania — financing, distributions, incentives, reorganizations. We advise before those decisions are taken, so the efficient route is chosen deliberately, the risks are known in advance, and the tax return never brings news.
Advice is only useful if it can actually be implemented. Because our tax advisors share a file with our lawyers, what we recommend is defensible in law, efficient in tax, and workable in the books — all three, or we keep working.
What we advise on.
Corporate income tax planning
We advise on the tax treatment of ongoing operations and specific decisions, identifying the efficient route and the risks to avoid. Planning ahead turns tax from a surprise into a managed cost.
Financing & distributions
We structure funding, dividends, and profit repatriation to be tax-efficient and compliant. How value is put into and taken out of a company materially affects what is left.
Group & holding structures
We design ownership and holding structures that are efficient, substantive, and defensible. A structure built on real substance delivers its benefits and withstands challenge.
Reorganizations
We map the tax consequences of mergers, demergers, and restructurings before they are executed. Reliefs are secured and pitfalls avoided by planning the steps in the right order.
Incentives & reliefs
We identify and help you secure the reliefs and incentives your activity qualifies for. Available benefits are only useful if they are claimed correctly and on time.
Withholding tax
We analyse withholding on domestic and cross-border payments and the relief available under treaties. Getting withholding right protects both cash flow and relationships with counterparties.
How we work with you.
We examine the legal, tax, and financial dimensions of a decision together, because what looks optimal in one is often costly in another. You receive a clear recommendation you can act on, with the reasoning explained in plain terms.
Our tax team coordinates with our lawyers so the advice is executable end to end. The plan is not a memo that sits in a drawer; it is a route that can be walked.
You are making a decision with a material tax dimension.
You are structuring a group, a financing, or a distribution.
You want a standing tax adviser who genuinely knows your business.
Corporate income tax is governed by Law No. 29/2023 "On Income Tax", which took effect in 2024 and is administered by the General Directorate of Taxation, with a standard corporate rate of 15% and specific rules on deductibility and withholding. We advise on the current rates and rules and on the treaty position that applies to cross-border flows.
