[1]<\/a>.<\/p>\nIn 2022, the strengthening of tax administration, as well as the impact of inflation and the maintenance of prices of energy products and frozen foods led to better performance levels for the budget, but with an increase in the tax burden on taxpayers.<\/p>\n
In the analysis of the tax burden according to the calculation methodology above, it results that the average tax burden in Kosovo is 1,377 Euros per year per inhabitant.<\/p>\n
The tax burden distributed on average during the year for Kosovo is 114.8 Euros per month for each resident.<\/p>\n
In 2022, the strengthening of tax administration, as well as the impact of inflation and the maintenance of prices of energy products and frozen foods led to better performance levels for the budget, but with an increase in the tax burden on taxpayers.<\/p>\n
In the analysis of the tax burden according to the calculation methodology above, it results that the average tax burden in Kosovo is 1,377 Euros per year per inhabitant.<\/p>\n
The tax burden distributed on average during the year for Kosovo is 114.8 Euros per month for each resident.<\/p>\n
This burden includes the VAT that each buyer pays for goods and services, for beverages and fuel that each consumer pays, for the tax on wages that each employee pays, the payments of profit tax from businesses, for the capital tax that each individual pays benefits from rental income, from bank interest, from the sale of movable and immovable property, from intellectual property, from dividends, household payments for local taxes and fees, pension contribution payments, customs fees and duties, national taxes and duties other tax, which are not mentioned by name as above.<\/p>\n
In the analysis of the tax burden according to the largest municipalities that include several municipalities within the district, it results that the highest level is in Ferizaj, where on average each resident paid 1,607 Euros in 2022 during their daily life. Prishtina has the tax burden in second place with a level of 1.511 Euro\/Inhabitant per year. The residents of Gjilan are remarkably close to the tax burden of the people of Pristina, with an average tax burden of 1,510 Euro\/Inhabitant per year.<\/p>\n
All other municipalities of the country have a burden less than, but above the average level of the country’s tax burden, except for Mitrovica and Prizren.<\/p>\n
Tax burden in relation to gross domestic product<\/strong><\/p>\nThe tax burden on BPV is a more objective indicator since the ratio between them also shows the weight of the region’s fiscal contribution to the economy. In this report, we can calculate the weight that each municipality bears from taxes and citizens’ taxes in relation to the Gross Domestic Product in 2022 (preliminary).<\/p>\n
The share of the regional tax burden (central and local taxes and duties) to the GNP includes the calculation of the taxes paid to the state budget by each region to the GNP of the country. This income category includes tax burdens borne by taxpayers on behalf of the central tax administration (ATK), as well as local tax administrations (Municipalities) plus pension contributions collected by the ATK.<\/p>\n
The tax burden for all regions in 2022 weighs as much as 25.2% of GDP. The main weight, according to the value that goes to the state budget, is from the region of Pristina with a fiscal contribution of 7% of the GDP of the country, followed by Prizren with a fiscal contribution of 3.8% of the GDP.<\/p>\n
The region of Ferizaj has a fiscal contribution to the state budget with a weight of 3.1% of GDP.<\/p>\n
Then in fourth place is Mitrovica with a fiscal contribution of 3% of GDP, as well as Peja with a fiscal contribution of 2.8% of GDP. Gjilani has the smallest fiscal contribution in relation to GDP with 2.4%.<\/p>\n
Local tax burden and weight per inhabitant<\/strong><\/p>\nKosovo’s fiscal system is slightly affected by the legal changes if we can compare it with Albania (Fiscal Package).<\/p>\n
In all 7 regions, more than half of the fiscal revenue consists of the tax burden collected from the citizens of the main municipality of the region.<\/p>\n
According to the table in the Report, regions such as Ferizaj, Peja and Gjilani present, on average, the highest tax burden per inhabitant during 2022 for the load imposed by the municipalities and categorized as personal income. Respectively, the local\/resident tax burden is eighty-four euros\/year, seventy-two euros\/year and seventy-one euros\/year.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, regions such as Prishtina, Mitrovica, Prizren and slightly above Gjakova carry the lowest local tax burden. The local\/resident tax burden is twenty-five euros\/year, forty-three euros\/year and forty euros\/year, respectively.<\/p>\n
The local tax burden is seen to be no less than 1.7% of the total tax burden paid by each resident, as seen in Pristina, and no more than 5.2% of the total tax burden paid by each resident, as seen in Ferizaj and Pej\u00eb.<\/p>\n
The burden of local taxes and fees at the national level averages 4% of the total tax burden, as shown above.<\/p>\n
The disproportion of the tax burden also shows the controversial part of the administrative division and the open discussion about the financial productivity of the local finances of these municipalities.<\/p>\n
The specific weight occupied by the country’s regions has specifics that include the number of taxpayers bearing the tax burden, industrial characteristics, gender composition, population structure, education, underground and above-ground natural resources, individual inherited wealth and assets created over two decades. , as well as environmental elements and investments with public and private funds, including regional development plans.<\/p>\n
These reports also direct the distribution of the segmentation of taxpayers, according to their size (micro, small, medium, or large).<\/p>\n
From the data of the reports, the tax burden in the counties is maintained at a quantitative level by the base of resident taxpayers that are included in the categories of micro (self-employed) and small businesses, rather than by the base of resident taxpayers that are included in the categories of medium and small businesses.<\/p>\n
