Tax inspectors in Montenegro have intensified controls over taxpayers regarding general tax registration, filing of tax returns, transaction reporting, cash payments, and employee registration across the country.
From May 1 to August 10, inspectors conducted 2,484 business compliance checks and found irregularities in 491 cases. This led to 652 issued fines totaling 1,987,300 euros, of which 624,945 euros (62 percent) have already been collected. The collected amounts mainly relate to taxpayers who accepted responsibility and paid within eight days, benefiting from a one-third reduction under the Misdemeanor Law.
During the reporting period, 23 taxpayers were temporarily prohibited from conducting business. Targeted inspections, based on risk analysis, focused on hospitality and tourism operators, as well as monitoring sales data through the electronic fiscalization system to detect irregularities.
Since the beginning of May, 151 inspections of private accommodation providers revealed 80 irregularities, resulting in fines totaling 167,000 euros.
Tax authorities urge all taxpayers to comply with regulations and provide accurate revenue information. Citizens can report irregularities via the call center at 19707 or through the “Budi odgovoran” platform.
