Rates: Albania 2026.1-verified, 2026. Albania (EU candidate, not a member). Freelancers and small companies earning up to ALL 14,000,000/yr pay 0% income tax through 2029 — the standout feature. Employment income tax matches the in-force 2026 law (13%/23% with a tiered personal allowance — modelled equivalently as a monthly schedule), but the per-child allowances (+ALL 48,000/child, education) are NOT modelled, so figures for families are approximate. The self-employed 23% pension base (ALL 100,000) is low-confidence. Company is modelled as pure dividend (owner contributions not added). Figures are estimates from a deterministic engine — not tax advice.
