❓ Pyetjet me te Shpeshta Ligjore (FAQ)
What is the presumptive tax regime for small businesses in Kosovo?
Under Chapter VII of Law No. 06/L-105 on Corporate Income Tax and the Personal Income Tax law, micro-enterprises and sole proprietors with gross annual turnover not exceeding EUR 50,000 may opt for a simplified presumptive tax based directly on gross revenue instead of maintaining complex double-entry financial accounting.
What are the presumptive tax rates for different commercial activities?
Presumptive tax rates depend on business categorization: 3% on gross turnover for commercial, agricultural, transport, and manufacturing activities; and 9% on gross turnover for professional services, consulting, IT freelancers, entertainment, and artistic services.
What happens when gross turnover exceeds EUR 50,000 in a year?
Once gross annual turnover exceeds EUR 50,000, the taxpayer is legally disqualified from the presumptive regime and must transition to the standard real accounting regime (10% CIT or progressive PIT on net audited profit). Furthermore, crossing EUR 30,000 requires mandatory TVSH (VAT) registration.
How and when is presumptive tax paid to the Tax Administration of Kosovo (ATK)?
Presumptive tax must be declared and paid in quarterly advance installments by the 15th day of the month following each calendar quarter: Quarter 1 due April 15; Quarter 2 due July 15; Quarter 3 due October 15; Quarter 4 due January 15, using Form QS or PD.
When is it more advantageous to choose real accounting over presumptive tax?
If a business incurs high documented deductible operating expenses (e.g. profit margin lower than 30% for services, or lower than 10% for trade), paying 10% on actual net profit under real accounting may result in a lower total tax liability than paying 3% or 9% on gross turnover.
