2014 Wrap Up: Albania Abandons Its Flat Tax

Effective January 1, 2014, Albania replaced its 10% flat tax on personal and business income with two rates of 13% and 23% on personal income and 15% on all forms of business income.  Details are here.

Left-wing politicians have been waging continuous war against those countries that have adopted a flat tax during the past quarter century. While Thomas Piketty has won a small battle in Albania, its people will be the losers in years to come.
