Tax and compliance

Official Albanian tax authority pages define tax residence using permanent residence/centre-of-vital-interests tests and physical presence exceeding 183 days. Resident treatment: residents are taxed on worldwide income. Non-resident treatment: non-residents are taxed on Albania-source income. The PIT schedule includes a top marginal rate of 23%. Employee social contribution is kept at 11.2% (9.5% social insurance plus 1.7% health insurance) based on official contribution guidance pages; payroll-category nuances may apply. Foreign-income exemption is set to 'no' because residents are generally taxed on worldwide income (treaty relief may still apply). Assumptions: used headline statutory rates and excluded sector-specific reliefs. Confidence: medium (primary tax authority sourcing, but payroll details rely on summarized contribution guidance).

Budget Your Trip daily baselines (retrieved 2026-02-27) were converted to monthly by multiplying by 30: poor USD 1320, average USD 3240, comfortable USD 7740; monthly_cost_single_usd uses the average baseline. Numbeo (retrieved 2026-02-27) provided country-level 1-bedroom city-centre rent in USD. Utilities/internet/coworking are null because a consistent country-level nomad baseline for those components was not reliably extractable at execution time. Confidence: medium-low (travel-spend dataset used as proxy for nomad monthly tiers).
