EXPLANATION: Referring to Normative Act no. 1, Date 3.4.2026 “On an addition to Law No. 61/2012, “On Excise Duties in the Republic of Albania,” as amended, which provides that if the retail price for diesel is higher than 220 lek/liter, or for gasoline is higher than 200 lek/liter, the 80% excise duty rate shall be applied. Based on the implementation of the methodology for calculating the retail price ceiling, the prices are below the limit of Normative Act No. 1, date 3.4.2026, and consequently the excise duty rate shall be applied in full, 100%.
