What taxes do businesses in Serbia pay?
Serbian legislation establishes the following tax obligations for commercial enterprises:
- income tax – 15% (lower than in other European countries);
- tax on dividends – 20% (can be reduced to 5% – for Russian residents);
- VAT (VAT). Initially not set, but you can set a rate of 20%. VAT is obligatory if the annual turnover of the enterprise exceeds 4 million RSD.
In comparison with most other countries in the European region, this is one of the most loyal indicators for foreign business. For other obligations, there are reduced rates in the country, which guarantees an optimal tax burden for foreign businesses.
