Edi Rama is at the head of the government, while Ilir Binaj, the letter-sender's son, has been appointed as the head of taxes. Let's see if the director's son will implement these tax policies and if he will reduce fiscal evasion worth 800 million Euros, a loss for the state; which is done especially by the businesses of oligarchs, traffickers of towers, resorts, import monopolies and businesses of the families of the rulers...
Prime Minister Edi Rama appointed the accountant Ilir Agim Binaj to the position of General Director of Taxes, known as a friend and partner with the Minister of Finance, Petrit Malaj, in the business of drawing up the balance sheets of private and state companies.
But the new tax director, Ilir Binaj, is the son of former military accountant, Colonel Agim Binaj; who, in the period 2018-2023, has sent a repeated letter to Prime Minister Edi Rama, regarding the thefts in the installation of the network of fiscal cash registers, the failed tax scheme, evasion, destruction of businesses, extortion of citizens through VAT of food and other concerns, but Prime Minister Edi Rama ignored them.
Here is the public letter that Agim Binaj, the father of the new tax director, sent to Edi Rama:
I, who am communicating with you, am Agim Binaj, an accounting and fiscal expert who has been practicing this profession since 1995, that is, for about 23 years, and I have been successful as a whole.
What worries me is the announcement of the Ministry of Finance and the General Directorate of Taxes, which say that they will open a tender on September 17, 2018 worth 1.8 billion ALL, or 15 million Euros, for a new tax administration system and with a new cash register system.
I am not against more advanced systems, but only when there is no other way. What do I think about this and what solution do I propose?
Currently, today we have a system that has cost the Albanian taxpayers about 16 million Euros, and this system is in use for a period of 3-4 years.
The truth is that this "email protected ts" system has problems, especially in the transmission of data, fiscal cash registers, management of rounds, server and others.
1. I think that with a lower cost, about 5 times less, that is, about 3 million Euros, the current system can be improved. No software in the world today is ideal, but it is analyzed, defects, positive and negative sides are determined and developed in cooperation with IT experts and accounting and fiscal experts.
2. What does it mean to develop? Are new modules added or existing ones improved? Are we that rich to replace systems every 3-4 years?
3. I think that the defect is not in the current system, but in the cash registers, which of the companies that sold them are not the right ones. Consider that there are over 200,000 cash registers on the market, but one subject may have 40 or 50 cash registers that need to be replaced at a cost of 300-400 Euros, which they say is 60 million or 80 million Euros, which is not a small amount.
This does not include the responsibility for the contract related to these firms, for the data that a bank must have, to realize the required information, their transmission system, etc. Wouldn't it be good if cash in every business was a state monopoly, that is, an important means of control?
4. I think that the fight against evasion is not done by the system, no matter how sophisticated it is, because those who have tried not to use the cash register, will still not use it with the new system.
The fight against fiscal evasion requires radical reforms and an integrated Customs-Tax-CRC or CKB or any other system:
a) Differentiation of VAT for basic food items, for example, for services, restaurants, etc., it should be 5-6%, as other countries like Macedonia, Kosovo, Germany, etc. have .
b) Removal of the 2 million Lek bandage, for all VAT subjects even with a turnover of 1 Lek, after differentiated VAT, market prices will decrease, consumption will increase, incomes will increase.
Currently, 70% of VAT is collected at customs, while only 30% of VAT is collected from value added. This is not normal, because VAT is not a customs tax, it is a value added tax and as such, it should be taxed when the value is added.
Just by a simple calculation with the value of imports around 4 billion Euros, calculating the added value, for example, 1.5 times or 2 times, the state does not collect about 800 million Euros.
How to put these values into efficiency, when there are about 60-70 thousand subjects outside the VAT scheme.
c) We should also use incentive schemes, such as VAT refunds in the amount of 5-6%, to make the consumer interested in withdrawing the coupon, but count over 600 thousand pensioners or others, what impact will this have? to have
Mr. Prime Minister!
These experiences have been used by Macedonia, Montenegro, Croatia, the Czech Republic, etc. I request that the current system be developed with new modules at a cost 5 times less than currently. This is not only my opinion, but also that of other IT specialists or accounting and fiscal experts who know this field.
It's good to have a table and listen to us, because no one listened to us, but if you listened to us, you will get what the fiscal system and the fight against fiscal evasion really need today.
With respect and high consideration, Agim Binaj
Edi Rama is at the head of the government, while Ilir Binaj, the letter-sender's son, has been appointed as the head of taxes; and let's see if the director's son will implement these tax policies and if he will reduce the fiscal evasion worth 800 million Euros loss for the state; which is done especially by the businesses of oligarchs, traffickers of towers, resorts, import monopolies and businesses of ruling families./ Pamphlet
