TAK is committed to equal treatment of taxpayers

The Kosovo Tax Administration will continue to contribute to the business environment, focusing on equal treatment of taxpayers, and continuing mutual cooperation with the American Chamber of Commerce in Kosovo.

This was stated today during a meeting of members of the American Chamber of Commerce with the Director General of the Tax Administration of Kosovo, Ilir Murtezaj.

The Executive Director of the American Chamber of Commerce, Arian Zeka, said that the approach of the Tax Administration is to be commended, which even in such politically challenged circumstances after the resignation of the Government, continues to perform its work correctly as an independent executive institution.

He emphasized that the American Chamber remains committed to continuing cooperation with ATK as one of the most important institutions for the work of businesses.

The Director General of the Tax Administration of Kosovo, Ilir Murtezaj, mentioned the numerous developments of the Tax Administration of Kosovo in the last 20 years, emphasizing the fact that this institution, compared to previous years, has advanced in many processes, with the aim of equal treatment for all businesses.

 As an example of this, he mentioned increased efficiency in the revenue collection process, debt collection, as well as reforms in the review of taxpayer requests.

Murtezaj added that despite these developments, there are many issues for which there is room for improvement and that TAK is open to recommendations.

He also spoke about the measures taken to increase the integrity of tax officials, for which they are also receiving support from the programs of international organizations, including the United States Agency for International Development.

During this meeting, members of the American Chamber had the opportunity to raise various issues and receive responses from TAK representatives, while also offering their recommendations for the Kosovo Tax Administration, with particular emphasis on the need to combat the informal economy.
