| description | Help a Kosovo financial firm or accounting practice with financial-reporting obligations — classify an entity into the reporting tier (micro / IFRS-for-SMEs / full IFRS) by the KCFR size thresholds, test whether a statutory audit is required, plan the annual ATK/EDI financial-statement filing (1 Jan–31 Mar), and frame the 10% CIT position. Trigger with "which IFRS applies", "do we need an audit", "annual financial statements", "reporting tier", "when is the financial statement due", "corporate income tax", "classify this entity for reporting". Do NOT use to actually file returns (recommend a kontabilist) or for AML (use aml-kyc-pack). |

/financial-reporting
Walk a Kosovo entity through its financial-reporting and corporate-tax obligations: which standards apply, whether it must be audited, and the annual filing calendar. This is a structured walkthrough, not accounting or tax advice — recommend a KCFR-licensed auditor / kontabilist for the actual statements and filing.
Usage
/financial-reporting $ARGUMENTS
Examples:
/financial-reporting classify a firm: €3.2M turnover, €1.1M assets, 38 staff/financial-reporting do we need a statutory audit at €820k turnover?/financial-reporting when are the annual financial statements due?/financial-reporting CIT position for a SH.P.K. with €450k profit/financial-reporting what changes when we cross into the IFRS-for-SMEs tier?
Flow 1 — Reporting-tier classification
Ask for three figures: annual turnover, total assets, average employees. Then classify (an entity sits in a band if it meets two of the three criteria):
| Tier | Standard | Criteria (meet two of three) |
|---|
| Large | Full IFRS | turnover > €4,000,000; total assets > €2,000,000; avg. employees > 50 |
| SME | IFRS for SMEs | between the micro and large bands (may opt into full IFRS) |
| Micro | KCFR micro standards | turnover ≤ €50,000; total assets ≤ €25,000; avg. employees ≤ 10 |
ENTITY: [name]
Turnover: €[__] → [over/under €4M] [over/under €50k]
Total assets: €[__] → [over/under €2M] [over/under €25k]
Avg. employees: [__] → [over/under 50] [over/under 10]
Criteria met for: [Large / SME / Micro]
→ APPLICABLE STANDARD: [Full IFRS / IFRS for SMEs / KCFR micro]
⚠️ Financial institutions (banks, insurers, MFIs, etc.) are generally required to apply full IFRS regardless of size — confirm the carve-out. The standard-setter is the KCFR (Kosovo Council for Financial Reporting) under Law 04/L-014.
Flow 2 — Statutory audit test
AUDIT REQUIRED?
Tier [Large / Medium] → audit required (KCFR-licensed auditor)
Tier [Small / Micro] → no statutory audit
Commonly-cited practical trigger: annual turnover > €750,000 → audit (VERIFY against current law)
Regulated financial institution? → likely audited irrespective of size (confirm)
State the result and the basis, and flag the €750k figure as a verify-item rather than settled law.
Flow 3 — Annual filing calendar
ANNUAL FILING — FY [year]
Financial statements + corporate tax declaration → ATK, electronically via EDI
Window: 1 January – 31 March [year+1] (occasionally extended by ATK notice — check)
Registration / records: ARBK
Audit (if required) completed before filing
Flow 4 — CIT position (high level)
- CIT rate: 10% for taxpayers with annual gross income over €30,000 (and those electing real-income taxation). Law 06/L-105.
- Taxpayers with gross income ≤ €30,000 may pay quarterly tax on gross receipts at 3–10% by activity type instead of standard CIT.
CIT SKETCH
Accounting profit: €[__]
+/- tax adjustments: €[__] (non-deductibles, depreciation differences — kontabilist confirms)
Taxable profit: €[__]
CIT @ 10%: €[__]
Quarterly advances paid: €[__]
→ Balance due / refund: €[__]
This is a sketch to frame the conversation — the kontabilist computes the adjustments and files.
Reference (cache)
- Framework: Law 04/L-014 on Accounting, Financial Reporting and Audit; standard-setter KCFR / KKRF; profession SCAAK (IFAC member).
- Tiers: micro (KCFR), SME (IFRS for SMEs), large (full IFRS); thresholds above.
- Audit: medium/large audited; small not; €750k practical trigger (verify).
- Filing: ATK via EDI, 1 Jan–31 Mar; CIT 10% over €30k gross; small-taxpayer gross-receipts regime 3–10%.
What this skill does NOT do
- Does not prepare or file statements. It classifies and plans; a KCFR-licensed auditor / kontabilist prepares and files via EDI.
- Does not compute tax adjustments — the CIT sketch is illustrative, not a return.
- Does not state the audit threshold as settled — €750k is a verify-item (see
research/kosovo-financial-sector.md).
Tips
- Get all three size figures — the tier turns on two of three, so a single number isn't enough.
- Flag financial-institution full-IFRS treatment — size-based tiers may not apply to regulated entities.
- Watch the 31 March window and whether an audit must finish first.
- Chain into
xlsx to build the statements model or the tier/audit decision sheet (zero formula errors), and docx/pdf for the narrative report.
