ATK for four months invested 317m euros, Murtezaj: By the end of the year, we target some 900 million

According to him, the budgeting plan for 2023 is expected to be worth over 895m euros. He also added that the issue of tax debt is a problem that has constantly preoccupied it ATK.

Murtezaj, in terms of increased revenues, said it is as a result of the work being done in the system, which is heading towards automating many work processes within the ATK.

Kosovo Tax Administration “is continuing with an excellent profile in the collection of state revenues. During the January-April 2023 period has managed to register over 317m euros, much higher than last year's same period worth about 48m euros, or we have 17.7 per cent more than the same period last year. However, this trend of increased revenues certainly means that it is due to the work being done, as a result of the system that we have established going towards the automation of many work processes within ATK”, he said.

We have a plan for 2023 total revenues inflow worth over 895m euros, which is higher in percentage than last year by 35 percent. So now when we compare the growth rate of 4 to 5 percent or even less, which is projected for this year and the growth of tax revenues is so high, that means it is a challenge in itself. We are working hard in terms of reducing informal informality, combating informal economy and establishing an equal market for all payers”, he said.

The ATK director stressed that this institution is constantly preoccupied with the issue of tax debts.

According to him, by 2020 there has been a better management of debts, which says it is the result of many factors, EO reports.

“The issue of tax debt is an issue that is constantly preoccupied The ATK and in this direction means that the reform we've made in the first year, by the beginning of 2020 we've managed to have a much better management of debts, despite increasing extremely high incalcation, means that if we look at the previous 200 per cent increase in the efficiency of the Incasia, yet it's still continuing a trend of increased stock debt as a result of many factors, but one of them is also the question of the liquidity of companies that certain companies are having difficulty in carrying out the tax, but that is a general conspiracy, if we see the debt increase in the previous year, it's going to say that the overall report has come in about 10 per cent of the year, and that it's going to say it's a general debt report in about the year, and that's going to say it's a total debt.

Murtez said that in terms of business debts, ATK has communication with businesses in order to become known all the obligations they have and at the same time pay them.

We as institutions haven't run once after applying fines we are followers and work every day towards raising voluntary fulfillment. We have communication with the business community all the time in order to become known means all the obligations they have and at the same time pay those obligations”.

The “always don't become part of applying penalties on the part of officials. Punishments apply where legal violations are found, and in this case we cannot find any figure, because if we see additional taxes derived from ATK checks or inspections, then that's a small percentage in relation to total revenues that ATK does”, he told EO.
