(8 years ago)The fee on the Nation's Street for the inhabitants of Kukes and surrounding areas is expected to be $100 for a walk or 200 dollars. Although initially rumoured that the tax crossing for residents and frequent users would be 1.5 euros, the government appears to have decided to approve a more level [...]
The financial impact from the tax cut is expected to be considerable, lowering the revenue collected at the payment station by several million euros. But this money will not be paid by the private concessionor. They will be completely compensated by the government, through payments from the state budget, as envisioned in the concession contract.
The crossing fee on Durres-Kukes Street was introduced for the first time at the beginning of April at 5 euros per crossing or 10 euros en route. The concession contract predicted that there would be facilities for residents of the area, but only six months after tax entry until frequent users were identified. This led to the ire of Kukes ' citizens, who two days after the tax was imposed protested by burning the cost - passing point.
After the protest the government began talks with both concessionary and resident alike to find a new formula. Top Channel has learned that this formula, which envisions the payment of $100 to local residents, will be officially presented next week, as the concessionary company is continuing the work to rebuild and expand the area, where it will resume paying taxes.
