Shkodra free zone

industrialised Southeast Asian countries, we follow with a
commentary explanation.
In one of the islands, occupying an area 1/3 that of the actual
Albania, the central government
decided to increase investments
because it was a region with a back warded population and economy.
After the establishment of the customs system by the state, the real
value of the revenues from custom duties in the first year as
prescribed by law added
up to $ 200 million.
In the following years, this amount decreased to $ 50 million,
which related to the corruption “philosophy”
in the customs. From
the data collected, there was an estimated sum of $ 50 million stolen
by customs officers, another sum of $ 50 million were “donated” to
the high administration and another $ 50 million disappeared
mysteriously.
To
avoid fiscal evasions, the government decided to increase
the effectiveness and perfect the intelligent
supervision. Nothing
happen ed; on the contrary, the losses increased, since this time the
government had to spend more to keep the new personnel. To rectify
this uncontrollable situation, the government found it reasonable
to
announce the free zone all over the country. The results were very
positive. Besides the quick realisation of the economic development
through an extraordinary attraction
of foreign investments, the
govern ment, although it collected no revenues from the customs, did
manage to make higher profits through the 15-30% tax on the returns
of numerous enterprises (of manufacturing productions), factories,
plants. These profits were made only after the application of this
economic strategy (that of the free zone). It is estimated that only
from the
revenues coming from the income tax on investments,
which reduce the unemployment in a country by 10%, the state
generates
55-60% higher revenues than those coming from customs.
