The Tax Administration of Kosovo continues the strong trend of increasing tax revenues. During the period January-June 2026, EUR 595.6 million were collected, which is EUR 71.5 million more compared to the same period in 2025, i.e., EUR 524.1 million were collected. Compared to 2024, when revenues were EUR 473 million, the increase reaches EUR 122.6 million, demonstrating a stable positive performance in the collection of tax revenues.
The continuous increase in tax revenues is the result of the implementation of measures to strengthen tax administration, advance risk analysis, intensify monitoring and control activities, and create more efficient mechanisms for identifying and reporting tax evasion. These measures have contributed to increasing the level of voluntary compliance with tax obligations, improving fiscal discipline, and expanding the tax base.
The General Director of the Tax Administration of Kosovo, Mentor Hyseni, emphasized that the results achieved are evidence of the institution’s commitment to strengthening tax compliance and modernizing tax administration.
“The increase in tax revenues is the result of the institution’s continuous commitment to improve services to taxpayers, strengthen supervision and ensure fair and equitable implementation of tax legislation. We will continue to invest in modernizing processes, strengthening institutional capacities and building partnerships with businesses and citizens, aiming at creating a transparent, efficient and reliable tax system,” said Director Hyseni.
In addition to the activities and actions undertaken during this period, the Tax Administration has also carried out continuous monitoring activities through visits and inspections focused on sectors with the highest level of risk. During the period January-June 2026, 1,015 inspections were carried out, with particular emphasis on the construction, trade, accommodation and food services sectors, as well as the processing industry. As a result of these activities, additional tax in the amount of EUR 58.5 million was found. In parallel, 2,538 fines were imposed in a total amount of EUR 1.42 million.
Compared to previous years, the trend of decreasing the number of fines indicates an increase in the level of voluntary compliance, as well as the positive effects of educating and informing taxpayers regarding their responsibilities.
Cooperation with citizens has also made a significant contribution to these outcomes. During this period, there was a 50% increase in reports from citizens, enabling more efficient identification and treatment of tax violation cases.
At the end of the conference, the TAK Director also mentioned the process of certifying SEF software cash registers, whereby economic operators are being licensed, emphasizing that this project will have a direct impact on the formalization of the economy in the country, as well as enable the provision of information of interest to relevant institutions.
Director Hyseni thanked each and every employee of TAK, who has contributed to today’s extremely important results. He also expressed special thanks to the media, for broadcasting and promoting the work of the institution.
