  • State fees (administrative, court, registration).
  • Charges for use of natural and other goods of general interest (for forests, waters, mineral resources, maritime resources).
  • Municipal (local) taxes (surtaxes, charges and fees).

Local taxes have been introduced with the municipality regulations, in accordance with state level laws that define basic elements for their payment (taxpayer, tax base, range of rates and etc.); some tax forms are introduced by special laws.

In addition to aforementioned, Montenegro has signed 42 double taxation prevention treaties, with various countries on subjects of income and property. From that number, 36 treaties are effective; remaining 6 treating are still pending, i.e. they are in procedure of the ratification.
