Country Overview Citizenship law Taxation

Montenegro is a Balkan country in Southeastern Europe with a coast on the Adriatic Sea to the south. Its dramatic natural beauty, including the imposing mountains that wall the coast, inspired 15th-century Venetians to name it Monte Negro, or Black Mountain. Heroic-looking highlands, picturesque bays overlooking the royal blue Adriatic Sea, antique Venetian villages and UNESCO heritage cities, draw both domestic and foreign tourists.

Montenegro is quickly becoming one of the most sought-after destination for businesspeople seeking to invest, mobility, security and an increased quality of life.

The Montenegro citizenship by investment program has officially announced the new economic citizenship scheme on Oct 1, 2018. The decision came into force on Jan 1, 2019 and will apply until Dec 31, 2021
Montenegrin Citizenship by Admission scheme was published in Official Gazette of Montenegro 34/10, 40/16 and 62/18 which was adopted at the session of 22 November 2018.

As Montenegro aims to join the EU, it introduced the tax reform at the beginning of 2022. Now, individual and corporate income is taxed according to progressive scales. Yet, tax rates remain pretty low and range from 9 to 15%.

Montenegro also introduced a non-taxable salary part of €700, which is the highest among all European countries. Contributions for compulsory health insurance were cancelled. As a result, the tax burden on wages, including income tax and social contributions, is reduced by 1.2—1.9 times.
