The Kosovo Tax Administration announced a notable increase in revenues for the first half of 2026, reporting a 14 percent rise in collections. Director Mentor Hyseni presented these findings during the semi-annual report in Pristina on Friday. According to the data presented by the administration, the revenue growth surpassed the corresponding periods in both 2025 and 2024.
Financially, value-added tax (VAT) was identified as a key contributor, accounting for over 37 percent of the total tax revenues collected during this period. Beyond revenue figures, the report highlighted significant increases in enforcement activities undertaken by the administration. Specifically, the number of official inspections rose by 35.7 percent.
Furthermore, the documentation of cases involving tax evasion reportedly doubled, indicating heightened monitoring efforts across the country. Hyseni also detailed increased field visits, emphasizing the proactive nature of the tax body’s operations within Kosovo. These figures underscore a period of robust financial activity and intensified oversight.
The report suggests that the combined efforts of increased auditing and revenue generation have bolstered the fiscal health monitored by the administration. The overall data paints a picture of expanding compliance efforts and stronger collection rates for the first half of the fiscal year.
