The preliminary tally published by the Tax Administration raises the value of damage reported from the protests in Tirana to €2.15 million. According to the official version, 127 affected businesses have so far been identified, while the process of verifying and calculating losses remains open.
What the tax figures show
The General Directorate of Taxes said that, at this stage, 127 businesses damaged during the recent protests in the capital have been identified.
According to the official announcement, the total value of reported damage has reached €2.15 million, a figure that remains subject to updates for now as verifications continue.
How the affected businesses were identified
According to the published data, 55 businesses were identified through on-site verifications carried out by the administration, while another 72 entities declared their damage through the electronic service “My Damage.”
This means that part of the tally is based on direct field inspections, while the other part is based on self-reporting by the entities, leaving the full picture of the actual damage still open.
Verifications are still under way
The Tax Administration announced that the process of identifying and assessing the damage has not been completed. According to the institution, data on material losses caused to commercial premises are still being collected and updated.
Alongside field inspections, declarations by affected businesses are also being reviewed, indicating that the figure so far may change depending on the outcome of the verifications.
Call for reporting on e-Albania
Through a public notice, the tax authorities called on entities claiming to have suffered damage to use the “My Damage” service on the e-Albania portal.
According to the administration, this is the designated channel for reporting damage to commercial activity, while the losses are linked to the protests held in recent days in Tirana, where various business premises and units were affected.
For now, the picture remains that of a preliminary tally built on ongoing verifications and business declarations.
The €2.15 million figure represents the assessment so far of material damage, while the full financial consequences are expected to become clear only after the process of inspections and administration of claims is completed.
