2. 02Prepare the statute/founding act, POA, legalised foreign records, translations and integrated UBO data.
3. 03The authorised filer signs and submits the application through e-Albania/QKB and responds to registry correction requests.
4. 04After incorporation, set up tax/VAT/fiscalisation, accounting/payroll, licences and a separate bank/EMI KYB process.

• —An SHPK is an Albanian taxpayer; corporate-income-tax treatment, incentives and dividend/withholding treatment are confirmed under current law and the business profile.
• —VAT, fiscalisation/e-invoicing, payroll/social contributions and local taxes are configured for turnover, transactions, personnel and municipality.
• —Corporate tax, VAT, payroll, withholding and transfer-pricing treatment follows the actual transactions, employees, related parties and current thresholds, not incorporation alone.
• —Effective management, permanent establishment, CFC rules and the owners' personal tax residence require a separate cross-border analysis.
