At the height of the tourist season, when businesses should be focused on welcoming vacationers and providing service, the Tax Task Force lands for inspections. Not at a quiet time of year, but precisely on the busiest days of the summer season, when resorts, hotels, and beaches are full of tourists.

Inspectors Besnik Dalliu, Elton Ndoci and Andi Hajdari, who have been ordered to carry out verifications in tourism entities on the coast, have been on the field even on their days off.

But is this the right moment?

Businesses say that even in cases where all the documentation is in order, their computers have been taken away, leaving them without their main work tool. How will invoices be issued? How will sales be recorded? Who will be held responsible for the economic losses caused at the height of the season?

If the goal is to support tourism, such actions send the opposite message. Business needs control, but also proportionality, professionalism, and respect.

The Prime Minister himself has stated that the tax administration should not behave like a gang towards business, but rather be at its service. This is precisely why the question arises: do these controls, carried out at the height of the tourist season, comply with this philosophy? When businesses are faced with actions that block their activity on the busiest days of the year, the risk is to damage tourism more than to combat evasion.
