In Albania, social security contributions (SHCs) and voluntary pension contributions are deductible for the purpose of calculating taxable income. This deduction is up to the limits provided by the Law "On Voluntary Pension Funds"​​. This means that the amounts paid by individuals towards social security and voluntary pension funds can be used to reduce their taxable income, thereby potentially lowering their overall tax liability. This provision is significant for individuals in Albania as it provides a financial incentive for contributing towards their future social welfare and retirement security.

Types of Social Security Contributions

1. Pension Contributions

Pension contributions are a fundamental part of the social security system, aimed at providing retirement benefits to employees. These contributions go towards funding the state pension scheme, ensuring financial support for individuals upon reaching retirement age.

2. Health Insurance Contributions

Health insurance contributions are collected to fund the public healthcare system in Albania. This ensures that employees have access to medical services, including hospital care, prescription drugs, and other healthcare needs.

3. Unemployment Insurance Contributions

These contributions are designated for unemployment benefits. They provide financial assistance to individuals who are temporarily out of work, helping them to cover basic expenses while they seek new employment.
