FAQ
What tax applies when purchasing real estate in Montenegro?
When purchasing property on the secondary market, a transfer tax applies. Since 2024, a progressive scale is in effect: 3% on the value up to EUR 150,000, 5% on the portion between EUR 150,000 and EUR 500,000, and 6% on the portion exceeding EUR 500,000. No transfer tax applies when purchasing directly from a developer, as VAT is included in the purchase price.
How long does it take to obtain a tax identification number (PIB)?
Obtaining a Montenegrin tax identification number (PIB) typically takes from one business day. It is a mandatory administrative step required for conducting transactions and legal activities in the country, and is issued by the tax authorities upon submission of the required documentation.
What KYC/AML requirements apply in Montenegro?
Compliance with KYC/AML and FATCA regulations is mandatory. Companies must conduct client identification, maintain data protection standards, and implement financial monitoring procedures. These requirements reflect Montenegro’s alignment with EU anti-money laundering and financial transparency standards.
Is it possible to obtain residence in Montenegro through property ownership?
Yes. Ownership of real estate qualifies as a basis for obtaining a temporary residence permit (boravak). Applicants must provide proof of ownership, demonstrate sufficient financial means, maintain valid health insurance, and present a clean criminal record. The residence permit is typically issued for up to one year, with the possibility of renewal.
Why is legal due diligence necessary when purchasing property?
Legal due diligence helps identify hidden encumbrances, ongoing disputes, and risks affecting ownership rights. It includes verification of title history, outstanding liabilities, and compliance of documentation with applicable law, reducing the risk of future ownership challenges.
