Albania

Albania operates a moderate tax regime with a top personal income tax rate of 23% and a corporate tax rate of 15%. While not the lowest globally, the rates remain competitive within the region. Capital gains are taxed at a relatively low rate of 15%, making Albania reasonably attractive for investors and those with portfolio income. Albania taxes residents on their worldwide income, including foreign-sourced earnings. This means income from overseas employment, investments, and business activities is subject to domestic tax rates, though double taxation treaties may provide relief. Albania permits dual citizenship, which provides flexibility for tax planning through establishing residency in a second jurisdiction without forfeiting existing citizenship rights.
