Montenegro

Entities operating in Montenegro are subject to progressive corporate income tax (CIT). The applicable tax rate depends on the realised profit of taxpayers, and the tax rate varies from 9% to15%. The progressive tax rates are as follows:

• On the profit up to 100,000 euros (EUR), the tax rate shall be 9%.
• On the profit above EUR 100,000.01 to EUR 1,500,000, the tax shall be paid in the amount of EUR 9,000 plus 12% on the profit above EUR 100,000.01.
• On the profit above EUR 1,500,000.01, the tax shall be paid in the amount of EUR 177,000 plus 15% on the profit above EUR 1,500,000.01.

Resident taxpayers are taxed on their worldwide profit. Non-resident taxpayers are taxed on their Montenegrin-sourced income or income attributed to their Montenegrin permanent establishment (PE). Non-residents are also subject to WHT on income sourced in Montenegro (see the Withholding taxes section for more information).
