As of today, the Tax Administration of Kosovo (TAK) has implemented a new regulation stating that any payments exceeding 2,000 euros between businesses and individuals can no longer be made in cash. 

According to TAK, all transactions above this amount must be conducted through the banking system or alternative electronic payment methods. 

This restriction, effective from June 1, 2026, aligns with existing legislation aimed at formalizing the economy, enhancing financial transparency, and reducing cash usage for large transactions. 

TAK has stressed that even if a payment is split into multiple installments, the total value of the transaction must be considered when applying this legal limit. 

"Payments over €2,000 can no longer be made in cash. Starting June 1, 2026, if a business sells goods or provides services to individuals, payments exceeding this amount must be made through a bank or electronic means. Even if the payment is divided into several parts, the limit pertains to the total transaction value. Accept no cash payments over €2,000. Comply with the law to avoid fines," the TAK announcement reads.

Authorities urge citizens and businesses to adhere to this legal restriction to prevent potential fines and penalties.
