Albanians most willing to pay taxes

While Albania ranks second, the last Macedonia.

First on the global level is Germany, with a score of 7. The exact question in this survey is: “from 1-10, how much do you accept taxes and contributions to finance public goods?

Hence, preliminary results show that, with an estimate of 1 to 10, where the number 1 expresses dissatisfaction and the number 10 full acceptance of the tax system, Kosovo is estimated at 5.6, while Albania is measuring 4.5, Serbia 4.1, Montenegro 3.9 and Macedonia on a score of 3.2, Koha Ditore writes today.

Despite a low rate compared to developed countries, such as Germany or Austria, Kosovo has the best first score in the region, and Albania ranks behind it.

This means that in the Balkans Albanians are the most willing to pay their taxes, an inevitable obligation for any society, as only in this way can public services be guaranteed.

Especially the two most important: education and health. These two sectors are an element of confrontation in different parts of the globe in terms of government and tax policies.

Even in Albania, but also in Kosovo recently, the tax issue for the priority sectors has become the focus of attention in recent times, promoted mainly by student protests in Albania and those of the Kosovo health sector.
