Serbian company and/or branch maintenance costs. Additional services for companies in Serbia.

Clients interested in Serbian company and branch formation usually ask how much the annual renewal and maintenance of such company will cost. That being said, we have prepared a pricing that needs to be taken into account if you wish to register a company or branch in Serbia.

Why is it worth to consider Serbia in order to start a business?

• Duty-free access to the EU market, USA, Russia and other countries, which altogether provides access to the market that consists of 1 billion people.
• The company or branch can be registered completely remotely
• You can open a branch of a foreign company, including an offshore company, and then immediately open a bank account for the branch;
• Corporate tax and dividend tax is 15% (in some cases, the effective rate may be reduced);
• If you register a company or invest in Serbia you hold the right to apply for residence permit and tax residence status.

What else can you do in Serbia?

• Register a Serbian company and open a bank account – in person and remotely;
• Register a branch of an offshore company and open an account in a Serbian bank;

How much does it cost to renew a Serbian company / branch?

When calculating the profitability of a Serbian company it is necessary to take into account not only the cost of formation but also costs that have to be paid in the future. Serbian companies and branches are a good option because they do not require high repetitive costs.

• Company renewal fee does not exist as such
• The minimum monthly costs for the company vary around 200 EUR.

* If the company’s turnover is more than 65,000 EUR and the company has VAT, a responsible person is appointed. This person signs the documents for tax purposes and payment of VAT and is responsible for the correctness of data and calculations. A document may also be signed by a non-resident director.

Out of all services that can be provided, only two are mandatory – legal address and book keeping.
