Technology parks, the government project is discussed in the Assembly

As a start, the legal framework for the creation of technology parks is being discussed in the parliamentary committees, where their developers are foreseen to be exempted from taxes from 10 to 15 years and should use the state land or other immovable properties for a period of time. less than 20 years.

The draft law drafted by the Ministry of Finance was opposed by the opposition, whose deputies considered it similar to the law on strategic investments, which favors certain businesses, but the majority demanded that the initiative of transition from traditional economy to economy not be prejudiced in theory. digital.

Helidon bushati: Will any IT company be allowed to be a developer? That this is the abc of the thing. Are you saying you bring Elon Musk? Which is really a novelty but in the way you made the bill leaves room for mismanagement, as the package of financial facilities is extraordinary for government clients. In Europe there is no such thing as 15 years without profit tax, 10 years without payroll tax.

Arben Pllumbi: When we are still on the draft law and you say the developer is predetermined, it does not make sense. That seems to me quite like any business that threw money and flourished.

Besard Kadia: Scientific research is less supported in Albania. If we do not create some facilities, we will not be able to make investments here, to turn our eyes away from Albania! ”

The draft law stipulates that technology parks will gain the status of a free customs zone and the training of scientific staff will be partially reimbursed by the state by decision of the council of ministers, however the implementation of this idea seems to take time.

As the members of the production activity commission as well as the representatives of the Ministry of Finance were not prepared and will meet again to discuss the draft law after consulting with experts in the field.
