Representative of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), Yan Sun has expressed Monday concern of the international community about the Fiscal Amnesty, recommending that the Albanian government changes the draft law on the fiscal amnesty. 

In a statement to the media, the representative of IMF in Albania, Yan Sun, stated that the fiscal amnesty constitutes damage to tax morale. 

For technical reasons as well as the lack of development in some elements, Albania is not ready for this draft law, as far as IMF's representative is concerned. 

"We have received the law since it came out for public consultation and we have had our comments and concerns. The draft law can be considered as a card to get out of prison of all tax obligations. Includes a substantial pardon, those who have a waiver of interest and penalties. Also from the proper control of the law and their funds. The government should correct the amnesty in a voluntary project program. And so with an adapted system for implementation. 

There should be powers for the public to have an ability to understand such a thing. The DPT system, over the years, should have an even greater progress and should strengthen its capacities. While it is currently not at this level. Moreover, in studies that have been done in developing markets and countries, it is difficult to do them in such conditions where there is the possibility of money laundering and terrorism", said the representative of the IMF. 

Regarding the economic crisis, she said that the IMF has recommended that the aid be more targeted, in order to provide support to the strata that really needs it most. 

"We have recommended that the support be more targeted, so that those who really need it receive it. It is important to move towards energy conservation. We have an increase in inflation, so the fiscal policy must go in line, so the ministry and other institutions cannot go against this. The state should properly implement these policies so that those who really need help get help", said Sun.
