Every Montenegrin company files monthly VAT returns, runs payroll for its director and submits annual financial statements by the end of March. Invoices go through the electronic fiscalisation system. Montenext's certified accountants book your documents, file every return before the deadline and send reports in English, with a fixed monthly fee agreed in writing.
Foreigners can buy apartments and houses in their own name. The purchase is signed before a notary, registered in the cadastre and taxed at 3% on the secondary market, while new builds carry VAT instead. We search directly with owners, check the title for mortgages and planning issues, negotiate the price and register the deed, so you pay no agency commission.
Montenegro offers incentives for tourism, agriculture, energy and technology, with additional support for projects in northern municipalities. Our advisers review your plan, perform due diligence on land, partners and permits, and set up the holding structure, bank accounts and tax residency that make the investment work.
Personal income tax runs from 9% to 15%, dividends carry 15% withholding reduced by treaties, and there is no wealth tax. If you spend more than 183 days in Montenegro you become tax resident, which can lower your overall burden. We plan your residency, salaries and dividends before the year starts.
Straight answers to the questions founders and investors ask us most often.

After 183 days in a calendar year, or when your centre of vital interests is in Montenegro. We check your treaty position and prepare the residency certificate.
