CLARIFICATION: Referring to Normative Act no. 1, Date 3.4.2026 “For an addition to Law No. 61/2012, “On excise duties in the Republic of Albania,” amended, where it is provided that in the event that the retail price for diesel is higher than 220 lek/liter, or for gasoline is higher than 200 lek/liter, the 80% level of excise duty is applied. Based on the application of the methodology for calculating ceiling retail prices, the prices are below the limit of Normative Act no. 1, dated 3.4.2026, and therefore the excise duty level will be applied in full, 100%.
