Plain-language accounting

Know which regime you are in

Serbia has several ways to run a small business. Some entrepreneurs are taxed on a flat-tax (Paušal) basis; others keep real books as a Preduzetnik (registered sole entrepreneur). Companies have their own obligations, and depending on your set-up further ones can apply, such as VAT returns and e-invoicing through SEF, the state e-invoice system.

Each regime comes with its own filings and limits. Our plans are matched to how you are registered, and we watch the limits for you.

  • Tax-residency timing reviewed before you move
  • Monthly plans from dormant companies to small teams
  • Monthly reports in English on Micro plans and above

FAQ

Which accounting plan do I need?

It depends on how you are registered and how active the business is. Flat-rate entrepreneurs usually start with Paušal Care, entrepreneurs keeping full books with Preduzetnik Books, and small companies with Micro. We confirm the right plan before you start.

When should I book a tax move check?

Before you move. It reviews when you are likely to become tax resident in Serbia and how any tax treaty affects you, and it is credited against Year-One Care booked within 12 months.
