A
local governance program in Albania by USAID has supported
implementation of a new computerized tax system for the southern
municipality of Fier that aims to improve public services.
“The new system allows a more efficient and effective administration of
tax collections and services that will lead to greater tax revenue for
the city and improved services for citizens of Fier,” USAID said in
statement.
“With the new computerized system, the tax department will more
accurately be able to calculate tax bills and track tax payments, and
even develop the necessary revenue projections and analyses so
important for city planners and officials.”
The Albanian local governance programme (www.lgpa.al) works with 10
partner municipalities - Elbasan, Fushe-Kruje, Gramsh, Korçe, Kukes,
Lezhe, Librazhd, Pogradec, Fier and Shkoder -- to foster local economic
growth, improve governance, and strengthen civic and private sector
engagement in local development.
