Prerequisites for Incorporating a Business in Serbia

Looking to establish a business in Serbia? Lawtter Solutions offers an effective and transparent approach to company registration.

Director

Select your role without any constraints. Serbia permits individuals of any nationality to serve as a director. Only a single director is mandatory, and if you’re above 18, you’re a fitting candidate.

Shareholders

Your choices are again unlimited. Serbia imposes no residency prerequisites for shareholders, thereby enabling citizens of any country to become shareholders. The minimum age for a shareholder is 18, and the requisite minimum number of shareholders is one.

Address

Your company deserves a home. The sole requirement is a legitimate office address in Serbia – a task we’re ready to assist you with.

Name

Here’s your chance to be inventive. Your company’s name should be unique. Depending on your company type, choose an appropriate suffix for the name: D.O.O. for a limited liability company, A.D. for a joint stock company, O.D. for an unlimited liability company, and K.D. for a limited partnership.

Authorized capital

This requirement offers surprising flexibility. There’s no obligation to pay authorized capital. Nevertheless, the minimum share capital contribution is merely €1 for a limited liability company and €25,000 for a limited company.

Local account

The decision is in your hands. Unlike joint stock companies, limited liability companies are not required to open a local bank account.

Registration agent

As per Serbian law, a company is not obligated to have a registration agent or secretary.

Reporting

To ensure transparency and adherence to business procedures, all companies must prepare and file reports in a timely fashion.

Lawtter Solutions simplifies company registration for online business processes in Serbia, making it economical and comprehensible for you. Entrust your business to us, and experience unwavering confidence.

Tax Regime in Serbia

Are you enticed by Serbia’s forward-thinking economic growth, abundant market, and welcoming attitude toward fresh endeavors? Excellent! We are here to assist you in capitalizing on the benefits of the country’s taxation system effectively. Serbia operates a global taxation system, ensuring your profits generated anywhere around the globe are taxed at a consistent and predictable rate of 15%. Be it services provided in Berlin, goods sold in Shanghai, or contracts executed in New York, your revenue remains secure with us.

But there’s more! In instances where dividends are dispersed to foreign shareholders, the withholding tax rate stands at a mere 20%. This generates additional incentives for international investment and bolsters your business’s reputation on the global platform.

Furthermore, it’s important to note the VAT structure. While the standard rate in Serbia is 20%, a reduced rate of 10% is applied to certain categories of goods and services. We are here to help you navigate these subtleties and leverage them to your advantage.

With Lawtter Solutions, your finances are in safe hands. We aim to simplify your journey to success by mitigating tax risks and relieving you of accounting concerns. Together, we will carve out your financial success story in Serbia. We offer a personalized approach to every client, ensuring your company’s activity aligns with the legal requirements and business environment of Serbia.

Financial Reporting in Serbia

Maintaining accuracy, reliability, and strict adherence to all laws and regulations is imperative for your business in Serbia. This is precisely what Lawtter Solutions assures you in the realm of financial reporting. Confidence in your business is built upon transparent reporting. Serbian companies are mandated to submit annual reports to the Commercial Register no later than June 30 of the subsequent year. With our assistance, this deadline will never slip by unnoticed. Our expert team will ensure your reports are compiled and submitted punctually, even if your company’s fiscal year differs from the calendar year.

In terms of tax reporting, we deliver both flexibility and dependability. While the tax period in Serbia corresponds with the calendar year, legal entities are permitted to choose an alternate tax period spanning 12 months. Regardless of your chosen period, we guarantee the timely submission of tax returns to the tax authorities, no later than 180 days after the end of the tax year.

For medium or large businesses, or if your revenue surpasses €4,400,000, your operations are subject to an audit. Our seasoned auditors will execute this process with utmost precision, allowing you to run your business with peace of mind.

Lawtter Solutions serves as your shield against unnecessary bureaucratic intricacies. Our team of professionals will handle all aspects of reporting, allowing you to focus on what truly counts – your business.
