METHODOLOGY OF THE TAX CONTROL IN ALBANIA

The mission of the tax administration in Albania is to encourage and achieve the highest level of implementation and voluntary compliance of tax obligations. Also, the mission is to ensure the highest degree of public trust to the integrity and efficiency of the tax administration. Actually, the law "On Tax Procedures in RA" regulates the procedures for administering taxes and principles of organization and functioning of the tax administration in the Republic of Albania. The provisions of this law apply to all types of taxes, except when special laws provide otherwise. Balancing the tax administration resources through education and service to the taxpayer on the one hand, an efficient control and coercive measures on the other hand, is a key factor for  increasing the level of voluntary fulfillment of tax obligations and effective enforcement of tax legislation. This study is based on tax legislation of the RA and tends to show the methodology of tax control in Albania. At the end of this paper, I will give my conclusions of the issue .
