Frequently asked questions about taxes
What is the corporate income tax rate in Bosnia?
Corporate income tax is 10% in both FBiH and RS, one of the lowest rates in Europe. The annual return is filed together with the tax balance.
Do you offer tax planning for foreign companies?
Yes. Our tax accountants advise foreign-owned companies on structuring, withholding tax on payments abroad and the use of double taxation treaties, with communication in English. See also our page on accounting services in Bosnia for foreign companies.
Can a tax accountant reduce my taxes legally?
Yes, through timely planning: correct use of allowances and reliefs, proper cost documentation, VAT timing and profit distribution planning. Everything within the law, documented and defensible in an inspection.
What happens during a tax inspection?
The Tax Administration or ITA reviews your books and documentation. We prepare the documentation, draft responses and represent you throughout the process.
