Tax Administration could not disclose precisely who the “best” taxpayers are, but noted the field of telecommunications generated the most taxable income (25.1 million euros), followed by cable TV operators (18,818,330), electricity providers (17,867,865 euros), producers of fresh concrete (12,712,514 euros) and miners of brown coal and lignite (12,152,833 euros).
Income tax rate in Montenegro is nine percent. Companies/tax payers have until March 31 of the current year to submit their tax reports and pay tax for income generated in the previous year.
“TA requires that reports be submitted electronically, because this reduces the possibility of errors.. Furthermore, a major advantage of using the electronic submission of applications is that you can do it from any place, at any time, because the TA Portal is available 24 hours, every day of the week”, explained the TA, adding that this also reduces costs and eliminates queuing.
