According to the Tax Administration’s announcement, as part of efforts to identify the undeclared economy, the institution has reviewed the information and data at its disposal and discovered that a group of individuals have earned rental income without registering with the administration, without reporting their profits, and without paying the corresponding taxes.

These taxpayers are urged to fulfill their obligations voluntarily as soon as possible, by registering to obtain a Fiscal Number if they have not yet done so, declaring their annual profits, and paying taxes in accordance with current legislation.

The tax institution emphasizes that it possesses sufficient data and evidence to trace individuals who derive income from renting out properties. If obligations are not met voluntarily, the Tax Administration warns it will implement legal measures, including compulsory registration, calculation of tax liabilities based on existing data, application of interest and fines, as well as other administrative and legal steps provided for by the tax framework.

The Tax Administration of Kosovo reaffirms its commitment to promoting voluntary compliance with fiscal obligations and ensuring fair treatment for all taxpayers. For more information about registration, declaration, and tax payment procedures, citizens can contact the Tax Administration through its official channels or appear in person at regional offices.

According to the joint statement, the operation was conducted in cooperation with the Italian and French authorities, under the coordination of Europol and Eurojust, while the focus of the investigation was the cross-border laundering of criminal proceeds.

The investigation showed that cash was converted into gold in order to conceal its illegal origin and to make it easier to transport criminal assets across borders, especially toward Kosovo, Turkey and Morocco.

According to the Police, through the analysis of seized evidence and data received from Italy through mutual legal assistance, it was possible to uncover bank accounts, business interests, real estate and luxury vehicles owned by a couple of Kosovo citizens residing in Italy.

The couple is under criminal investigation in Italy on suspicion of money laundering and had been arrested in France in September 2025, after authorities found more than 56 kilograms of gold bars and 2.5 million euros hidden in modified compartments of two vehicles.

Also in September 2025, authorities had seized other assets worth more than 30 million euros linked to a transnational criminal network involved in laundering proceeds derived from drug trafficking in France.

In implementation of the request for mutual legal assistance, the Special Prosecution – Department for the Investigation of Organized Crime, in coordination with the Kosovo Police, carried out the procedural and investigative actions that enabled the identification, tracing and seizure of assets in the territory of Kosovo.

The authorities stressed that throughout the investigative process, Europol and Eurojust provided significant support, assisting operational and judicial cooperation among the authorities of France, Italy and Kosovo in the fight against organized crime and money laundering.
