Feature · Albanian Fiscal System

Fiskalizimi, built in, not bolted on.

Real-time e-Fiscalization for hotels in Albania, fully compliant with Law 87/2019. NIVF and NSLF generated on every transaction, QR code on every receipt, transmitted to the tax authority in milliseconds, with an offline queue when the connection drops. No separate fiscal terminal, no third-party middleware, no end-of-day reconciliation between the PMS and the fiscal box.

  • Law 87/2019 compliant
  • QR on every receipt
  • Offline-safe
Why Albanian properties switch

Three things that change the audit.

  • Real-time transmission, no fiscal box

    Every room charge, F&B sale, spa treatment and retail item is fiscalized as it happens, straight from HotelBee to the DPT. No separate fiscal printer, no middleware, no nightly upload.

  • Offline-safe by design

    Connection drops mid-service? Receipts queue locally with a temporary number, the QR is generated as soon as transmission succeeds, and the DPT timeline reflects the actual sale time, exactly as the law requires.

  • Audit-grade by default

    Every transmission logged with timestamp, NIVF, NSLF and tax authority response. When the audit comes, the export is one click, not a week with the bookkeeper rebuilding the day from POS rolls.

How it works

Sale to fiscalized receipt, in milliseconds.

No mode switch, no separate terminal, no export step. The same screen the front-desk team or waiter is closing the bill on is the screen that fiscalizes the transaction.

  1. 01

    Sale closes in HotelBee

    Front desk closes the folio, waiter takes payment on the handheld, spa receptionist charges the treatment, any of the standard sale flows.

  2. 02

    NIVF and NSLF generated

    HotelBee creates the issuer security number (NSLF) locally, signs the invoice, and transmits to the central tax system (CIS) for the unique invoice number (NIVF).

  3. 03

    QR code printed and emailed

    The receipt prints with the QR linking to the public verification portal (vfaturat.tatime.gov.al). The same receipt is emailed to the guest in Albanian or their preferred language.

  4. 04

    Audit log writes itself

    NIVF, NSLF, transmission timestamp, tax authority response and the source folio are stored against the transaction, searchable, filterable and exportable for any audit period.

Capabilities

Built for the way Albanian hotels actually run.

  • NIVF, NSLF and QR on every receipt

    The unique invoice number, the issuer security number and the public-portal QR code are generated for every fiscalized transaction, printed, emailed and stored against the folio automatically.

  • Real-time CIS transmission

    Every B2C cash receipt and B2B e-invoice is transmitted to the central tax system in real time. Latency budget is sub-second on a normal connection.

  • Offline queue with retry

    When the link to the tax system drops, transactions queue locally with provisional numbers. As soon as the connection returns, the queue drains in order, the receipts get their final NIVF, and any provisional QR is replaced.

  • Every payment method supported

    Cash, card, bank transfer, on-account, voucher, complementary, prepayment, deposit, refund, each with the right payment-method code on the fiscalized receipt.

  • Refunds, voids and corrections

    Refunds and voids are fiscalized as separate documents linked to the original NIVF. The audit trail is unbroken; the DPT timeline reflects the real chain of events.

  • B2B e-invoicing

    Corporate invoices issued through the same system, with the buyer's NIPT, payment terms and electronic delivery to the buyer's portal, fiscalized to the same standard as cash receipts.

  • Albanian + foreign-tourist receipts

    Receipts print in Albanian by default, with a parallel translation in the guest's language for foreign tourists. The fiscalization data is identical; only the human-readable layout differs.

  • Daily Z-report and period summaries

    End-of-day summaries with totals by tax rate, payment method and outlet, formatted for the bookkeeper and exportable in the formats Bilanc, Financa 5 and Alpha Web accept directly.

  • Tax-rate handling

    Standard 20% VAT, reduced 6% (where applicable to accommodation services), exempt and zero-rated lines, each correctly tagged on the fiscalized invoice.

  • Pre-authorisations and deposits

    Hotel deposits, pre-authorisations and advance invoices fiscalized as the law requires, with the final invoice settling against the deposit on check-out.

  • Multi-language audit export

    The audit export is available in Albanian and English so that group-level finance teams (and group auditors who don't speak Albanian) can verify compliance without a translator.

Common questions

What Albanian properties always ask before switching.

  • No. HotelBee transmits directly to the central tax system (CIS) over the certified protocol. Receipts can be printed on any standard thermal printer, emailed, or sent over WhatsApp, the QR code and the NIVF/NSLF are valid in every format.
